Thornton Hall Country Park

Líbí se: Pitches close to toilet and shower block. Beautiful views. Warden onsite if needed. Car could be next to tent pitch. We struggled as a family of 5 to take down tent and pack up for 1000hrs but the site was very patient, we were around 30-40 mins late. We had a lovely enjoyable stay here and happy we booked.

Nelíbí se: The actual Thornton Hall attraction appeared quite pricey with 3 children, even with the generous discount as campers there. When my husband asked lady on reception, there was the entry fee, then some activities inside cost extra ontop. We were worried this would creep up with 3 kids who'd want to do everything so we went along to Skipton castle instead and we could take our dog there too. Looked a great attraction though but it was difficult that the kids could see a play ground ahead of them that they weren't able to use. It would be great to have a small play area for them that they could use as part of the campsite. Still a lovely family friendly site though.

Od správce: Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback — we’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the pitches, views, and the presence of our warden helped make your experience more convenient.

We appreciate your comments on the farm park We strive to offer a fun and memorable experience, and we understand that extra costs for activities can be a concern. We do try to make the attraction as accessible as possible, with lots included in the entry price, such as bottle feeding and pony grooming, and only a handful of additional activities available at extra cost.

We’ve noted your suggestion for a small play area at the campsite, and we’ll certainly consider it as we look at potential improvements for the future.

Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for another stay soon!

Líbí se: The drive to the site is very picturesque, through the village and the moor.

Nelíbí se: I tried to get in touch with the office to discuss the booking, for a whole week before our trip, both by phone and email and got not response at all.

When we arrived there was no record of our booking, we had to show the booking email. We were in a field which was uneven, and full of nettles and thistles.

There is 1 male toilet, 1 female toilet and 1 unisex toilet. Which was insufficient for demand from the sheer volume of people onsite booked on site. They were very smelly and dirty.

The showers are small, and annoying as you have to constantly push the button every few seconds to keep the water flowing. There was a worm by the plug hole one morning, which was grim.

In all, it was very over priced for what was on offer. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Od správce: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations.

You mentioned difficulty getting in touch before your stay. Just to check, were you contacting info@thorntonhallcountrypark.co.uk? That’s our main email address, and we also regularly respond to Facebook messages. Our phone system is an answering machine, so we do ask guests to leave a message so we can return the call — apologies if this wasn’t clear.

It also sounds like there may have been a technical issue with our booking system if your reservation didn’t come through on our end. We’re really sorry for the inconvenience this caused on arrival and will investigate what went wrong there.

Your visit coincided with our annual lawn mower racing weekend, which does bring in more guests than usual. While it's a fun and unique event, we completely understand that the increased numbers can impact the overall experience for some guests. We're currently reviewing both our pitch quality and facilities as part of a wider site improvement plan, so your comments are very helpful.

Thanks again for your honest review — we truly appreciate you highlighting where things fell short.

Líbí se: Lovely looking site in good location. Toilets and shows clean. Level pitches, was able to book last minute (however I should have done more research) good phone signal

Nelíbí se: Small site that gets really busy. 8pm no noise rule not adhered too. Noise past 10pm as lots of families with children. Only three toilets and two showers, not enough for the amount of people. Booked a non electric grass pitch, had a tent pitch up right beside our van so could hear the family through the night and morning. Wouldn't recommend the site for couples as its not quiet, definitely for families with children.

Od správce: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review — we’re really pleased to hear you liked the look of the site, appreciated the clean facilities, and found the location and level pitches convenient, especially for a last-minute booking.

We’re sorry to hear that your stay wasn’t as peaceful as you’d hoped. Your visit coincided with our annual lawn mower racing weekend, which brings in a larger number of guests, including the racers and their families who were camping on-site — so it was definitely busier than usual. We completely understand that this may not have suited everyone, particularly those looking for a quieter couples’ break.

We’re also actively reviewing our site layout and facilities as we plan for improvements to help better accommodate different types of guests in the future. Your feedback is really helpful, and we appreciate you sharing it with us.

Thanks again for your comments, and we hope you might consider visiting again outside of an event weekend.

Od správce: Thank you so much for your kind words Michael— we’re really glad you felt welcomed and well looked after during your stay. Paul, our campsite warden, will be thrilled to hear your lovely feedback — he always enjoys taking the time to chat with guests and make sure everyone’s settled in.

We appreciate your note about the grass and will take that on board. We try to keep everything looking its best, but a bit of sunshine and rain can make it grow quicker than expected! Thanks again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back soon to enjoy more of those splendid views.

Líbí se: Small campsite with plenty of space for the kids to run about and play in.
Good sized pitches
Easy check in
Good contact with the site, the toilets were blocked so I messaged the out of hours contact and was sorted in 5 mins.
Pithches clearly labelled
Super dog friendly
Had a very safe feel

Nelíbí se: Hot air balloons firing up right next to the campsite around 7-7.30am which woke us up
Toilets seem to get blocked easily
Not a dislike for us as such but an honest review for anyone looking - the no noise after 8pm wasn’t adhered to whilst we were there. Like I say, this didn’t bother us but there were children and music playing up to 11pm.
The actual farm park isn’t dog friendly but the campsite is, which we didn’t actually know before booking (didn’t realise they were separate). It doesn’t make this very clear on Pitchup when asking if you want to book tickets for activities.

Od správce: Thank you so much for your detailed review — we’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the site. It’s great to know you found check-in smooth and our out-of-hours support helpful — we always aim to respond quickly to make sure your stay runs as smoothly as possible.

We appreciate you raising a few points that could help future guests. The balloon club is a special event that only visits once a year, but we’ll look into how we can better communicate that in advance for those who may be lighter sleepers!

We're also reviewing how our listing appears on PitchUp to make it clearer that while the campsite is dog friendly, the farm park has different rules — thank you for flagging that.

We do aim to keep things peaceful after 8pm and will continue working on improving the experience for all visitors.

Thanks again for your comments — it’s great to hear what worked well and where we can do better. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Líbí se: Good level, spacious pitches

Nelíbí se: Facilities were poor, only 1 male and 1 female toilet, for the whole touring and camping sites, plus although they had hand washing Facilities, there was no means to dry your hands. Also there was only 2 showers for the whole site, so had to queue.
Also there wash no washrooms, ie sinks for getting washed or shaved etc.
