Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Facilities were ok, all basic needs met, lovely setting near to the moor, good for walks across to the Brontë walking "attractions", nice pair of cats in residence and a good selection of herbs growing on site. Richard very helpful and friendly and they even managed to sort us a bit of milk for coffee in the morning, as we'd not had chance to get to a shop! Google Maps might decide to send you the wrong way if coming from Lancashire: ignore the right turn taking you across the top of the dam -- the Mill site entrance is a bit further down the road.

Disliked: hot hand water in gents toilet didn't work, but otherwise great

Recommend to friends Visit again

Rural camp site best suited for walkers with small tents.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: We loved the camping location next to the brook. The proprietors are completely hands off generally which suited us.

Disliked: The hygiene facilities were minimal & basic. E.g. One low pressure shower for entire site with door that is difficult to lock. Inadequate sink facilities for men to shave (no hot water). The camping pitches should be rather more defined to best utilise the area & ensure adequate spacing between tents. The mill itself is unused. Some signs of activity but not clear if it is any part of the facilities.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely pitch next to the river..

Disliked: Uneven ground for a tent, The toilet & shower facilities were very poor..its an old porta cabin.. only one hook in shower room & an old wooden stool, Floor very wet with no duck board .. making getting dry & dressed very difficult. I think the owner should try her own facilities..

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Absolutely stunning place to camp in the walkers field. If you are looking for a very peaceful get away to enjoy the sound of the river, singing birds and to have your very own personal space.This is definitely ideal.

Disliked: Beware of the Nats due to being next to the river just take plenty of citronella candles they do the trick.

Liked: Easy to get to, lovely surroundings, cafe on site and quietness. A great little site, very quiet except for wildlife! Lovely babbling brook next to the site and great hosts who are very helpful.
