Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked: The site is high up on the hillside above Skipton and gives wonderful views across the dales. I received a lovely warm welcome from Lesley and found all the facilities were new and perfectly clean. Pitches are mown and well kept, it does get breezy as you are high up, so bring strong tent pegs, but its worth it for the views. There are two small lakes if you fancy swimming, and the walks around the site are beautiful and scenic. Loved it and will visit again.
Disliked: n/a

Liked: Fantastic Views and lakes to swim in. Great facilities - very clean shower blocks, added bonus of shampoo and shower gel. Washing up liquid and sponges for washing pots, washing machine and communal fridge/freezer another added bonus. Children's outdoor toys to play with which is very thoughtful. Owners very approachable and checked on us every day to make sure we needed anything. Choose own pitch and very spacious. Highly recommend.
Disliked: Heating in shower room could be turned on in morning as got a little chilly.
