Stablefell Holidays

Liked This is a small campsite that i really like . Owner are really friendly , always around to see everyone is oke everything is going well. Shop is well prepared for customers. Quiet time rules : 9:30 pm , that everyone is followed. I love to stayed here.

Disliked There is a very small lake or river close to the campsite .(not the semer water nature reserve ) Nights are very noisy from animals ,ducks, etc. BUT i am not a good sleeper , my child and my partner sleeps very well. I would still going back to this campsite. We where really happy with everything.

Liked Really generous sized and allocated pitches designated by long grass with beautiful buttercups. Clean and hot showers- every time I went to the toilet block it looked like someone had just been in to clean it. Freezers for campers use for ice blocks to keep cool boxes cool . Delicious pizzas by order. Spectacular, like SPECTACULAR views. Very laid back and quiet. The bird life was insane. We had barn owls and tawny owls flying over us and calling before we went to bed. And cuckoos cuckooing esrlier in the evening. Curlews all the time. Goats for the kids to stroke. It was one of our favourite camp sites we’ve been to. All tents, and no campers which was an added bonus.

Disliked I didn’t dislike anything at all. Just to note for future campers that the camp shop doesn’t sell any meat or milk and nearest shop is a good way away so come stocked up (we completely forgot to stop for supplies en route and the owner kindly squeezed us in on the pizza orders for the fully booked night which we really appreciated) so really just a heads up in case people might expect any fresh produce, and not a ‘dislike’

Liked Very neat, tidy and well-run campsite. Great amenities (clean well-stocked toilets, good showers, a little shop with essentials and treats), and even homemade pizza which was delicious.

Jo and family were very friendly and gave us lots of ideas of things to do during our stay. Our kids loved seeing the animals (chickens, goats, and especially Ellie the cat). I was also amazed by the biodiversity generally in the area, lots of amazing beetles and insects about, along with curlews, song thrushes, swallows, owls, a cuckoo in full voice, and we might have even spotted a hen harrier in the distance!

The location was great as well, a short drive from many lovely towns, dales, and other attractions (our favourite was Cotter Force where we had a swim in the waterfall pool).

The campsite rules are clear and well communicated which meant there was no music or people making lots of noise at night, a huge bonus for our young family, we were able to drift off too sleep easily whilst listening to the wildlife around us.

We had a great time and we'll definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing!

Liked Beautiful views, well maintained campsite. Pitches very spacious, very clean and tidy.
Toilet blocks clean. Freezers for ice blocks are a nice touch.
Nice and peaceful.

Disliked Not enough toilets and sinks although it was fully booked when we were there.
Could do with space for kids to play.
Website gives the impression you can easily walk to the lake however this is not the case, doesn’t seem to be any walks without walking on main roads which is not ideal with kids and dogs.

Liked Friendly hosts, lovely amenities and the pizza night was a big hit!

Liked A lovely and warm welcome from the owners. The campsite is incredibly picturesque and quiet, with spacious and well maintained independent pitches. 360 views with beautiful walks from the doorstep. Clean facilities with hot showers. Plus the added bonus of an on-site shop open for an hour or so in the AM/PM with the option to purchase freshly baked pizzas or morning croissant. One of our favourite campsites in England!

Liked Spacious pitches, amazing views, the owner very welcoming. The owner has welcomed us in the check in, very accommodating and nice. Very clean facilities, all showers had cleaning sprays to clean after/before use. We’ve had such an amazing weekend, and will definitely come back.

Liked Beautiful position in the Dale's with fantastic views and lots of opportunity for hikes. The camp is spacious and the individual pitches are big and the ground easy to put pegs in. Each pitch has a fire pit with wood for sale from the camp shop (£11 for a large bucket of wood and kindling and 3 fire lighters). Its a quiet site so very relaxing with plenty of nature sounds - birdsong, owls, sheep etc. The facilities are really good. Plenty of hot water for washing up and showers. The bathrooms are immaculately clean and modern. You can pre-order homemade pizzas for the evening and they are very tasty. Jo the owner is very friendly and approachable. She shares her many animals with the camp - 2 goats Tom and Harry and you can buy food to feed them. The chickens that are truly free range and roam around the camp and their eggs are also for sale. The farm cat who is very friendly and enjoys a stroke. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Disliked Honestly, we couldn't find any negatives.

Liked Despite heavy rain and strong winds we really enjoyed our few days at Stablefell. It is a very nice laid out site and very quiet, the plots are a good size and well marked out. It has a well looked after toilet block with really hot showers, a small shop for small camping needs and home made pizzas which were really nice and saved cooking an evening meal. Host Jo was very pleasant and friendly and would always stop for a chat with you both in the morning or evening.
The site is well off the beaten track in a valley that is very remote and peaceful so if you want to chill out in peace and quiet I would 100 percent recommend it.

Disliked Although it is a tent site electric hook up would have been nice but we coped ok without it, possibly placing lights on the walkway though the site for easier access to the toilets through the night time (eg solar lights )

My only gripe was someone taking our freezer blocks out of the freezer for their own use and not returning them, rather annoying especially when they are marked with your name on them, a good job they were not required for medical needs.
