Shepherd's hut (no pets)

Liked: Extremely clean & well presented really nice camping / accommodation site

Disliked: Wasn't aware of how close even outside tables are as realisticly with how small they are inside you need to eat outside, although neighbours were lovely it was sometimes awkward and we both ended up whispering. For over £100 night I do think even cutlery & things should be provided & 10am check out when a 4-6 check in doesn't really make sense when they park doesn't even open till 10.30 if you wanted to visit on a weekend & we didn't get WiFi I know it stated off grid but it said WiFi was available where we stayed. we visited without the child and was rather hard to check on them.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Small site and camping field (only 5 tents)so lovely and quiet. Very friendly helpful staff. Amazing, clean bathroom facilities, better than some hotels! Plenty of things to do on-site. Wild Boar Park next door and you only pay once to enter every day of your stay. Small on-site shop with all essentials in. Exceptional value for money and no minimum stay even in the summer holidays.

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

There may be much to keep you at this wildlife park but family-friendly activities are all around the region too, with the rare breeds of cattle at Cobble Hey Farm & Gardens 25 minutes’ drive away and the rainy-day workshops and events at Barton Grange Garden Centre within half an hour. If it’s sunny, Brock Bottoms Picnic Site (25 minutes) is an excellent spot for an outdoor meal – followed up with an ice cream made courtesy of the milk from the dairy cows at Mrs Dowsons Farm half an hour away. Famous places for the kids are also within an hour’s drive, like the rides at the Blackpool seaside; for grownups, the fell walks of the Lake District are the same distance away.
