You might fall over when you clap an eye on Beacon Fell View, a family-friendly park in 30 acres of landscaped parkland with rather spectacular views over the Ribble Valley. Slap bang in the middle of Lancashire, the park is conveniently placed for day trips to Blackpool but within easy reach of the Forest of Bowland, the Pennines, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales; golf, fishing and walks are all available close by too. Firmly family-friendly, Beacon Fell View keeps a considerate eye on many little (free) touches to jazz up your break: the indoor heated pool, the table tennis, the paddling pool for little squirts and the entertainment four nights a week in high season won’t cost you a red cent. Even more enticing for exhausted parents, you can send the heirs and heiresses off to the free kids’ club while you catch a match on Sky Sports or down a drink in the adults-only lounge bar. (A family bar is available on site too.) Amenities include hot showers (also free), a covered dishwashing area and a launderette, and kids can additionally live large at the indoor and outdoor play areas, crazy golf and arcade with amusements and pool table. Pitchwise, all is level, grassy and within five minutes’ walk of reception; guests have access to water points and can park their car by their pitch. For supplies, nearby Longridge has a well-stocked farmers’ market, a couple of supermarkets, two decent pubs serving good food and – quids in again for the kids – an outdoor adventure centre with everything from water orbs to fencing.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: False advertising.. The pool is not included in the extremely high price .. it's £6 per adult and £5 per child .. the pool is only waist deep, the pitches are scruffy and have no view .. we did not stay and have requested a refund

Liked: We do love the park but got disappointed this time around.

Disliked: The pool is no longer free to use which was a big selling point for us as we loved to book a weekend here. It is not advised anywhere that the pool is now not included in the £45 a night stay. We visited very frequently all last year but won't be making as many trips this year as its an extra £24 a day to use the pool which is the selling point for the children. I suggest if the new pool owners are charging to use the pool the heating needs be sorted as the pool and showers was freezing, the toilet was out of order and the changing area is absolutely filthy don't remember having these complaints last year.

Liked: The view and the weather was kind to us. Longridge was good to visit with nice bars and the rounding areas.

Disliked: the park is in the process of being renovated especially around the static areas. the pitches we were placed on were in the middle of being resurfaced and it felt like we were sat in the middle of a building site. The price was not reduced to reflect this.

Liked: Free soft play and bar area

Disliked: Pitches were very small despite booking a large and there were no grassed areas by the pitch.
No hairdryers
Bin areas were not emptied over a 4 day period, bins were overflowing and there were just bags of rubbish left.

Nicola H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel caravan site (medium)

Liked: The club is very nice and modern, the pool is nice enough - it needs some activities / inflatables adding to it
The park was good
I like how close everything was to the touring pitches

Disliked: Cars park next to the keypad that opens the barriers to the touring site, you have to leave your vehicle - get out and press buttons to open the barrier you can't drive next to it because of parked cars and then rush back in to your car and get through the barrier.
There was no shop.
I requested a end pitch but pitches are not assigned upon arrival.. its a free for all, the only pitches left had a banking so steep you could only go so far back, my caravn actually hung over onto the path/road where everyone walks and drives past to prevent it tipping down the banking. a ridiculous amount of raising and levelling and wood was needed.
Showers really need updating.

Liked: Had a great holiday. The facilities are excellent and all the staff were lovely. A major plus was the kids entertainment team. They were amazing!

Disliked: The touring pitches look as though they’re in the process of being improved which is a good thing. The ones they are yet to do are in desperate need of levelling and clear boundaries being put in. But as said they are currently on with sorting it.

Liked: Tiered pitches. Good amount of space on all pitch and as not busy choice of pitch, not allocated. Swimming pool decent size, designed for swimming not necessarily young play. Small arcade. Clean. Well draining hard standing.

Local attractions

Beacon Hill Country Park and the Forest of Bowland are mere minutes away by car and both have miles of walking routes across a range of landscapes including woodland, hills and farmland. Climb to the top of Beacon Hill to see landmarks in all directions including Belvoir Castle, Lincoln Cathedral and the hills of the Peak District. Said to be the inspiration for Tolkien’s Middle Earth (which might make you want to furry foot it there immediately), the Ribble Valley has the 70-mile path the Ribble Way, shopping in towns such as Clitheroe or munching one’s way around the Ribble Valley Food Trail. The River Ribble is a big hook for anglers landing chub, barbel, trout and salmon. City day trips are in all directions too: the kids’ eyes will light up with a trip to Blackpool… and for shopping, the Trafford Centre and Liverpool One of Manchester and Liverpool respectively should empty your wallet nicely…
