Shay Gate Farm

Liked Immaculate site with everything you need lady who greeted us was super friendly

Liked Open site allowing choice of pitch, incredible views, exceeded expectations with facilities, map to the nearest pubs was a lovely bonus! Had a great nights sleep!

Liked Friendly, helpful and well run.
Toilets well looked after and nice hot showers
Pubs in walking distance - 20mins
Nice views

Disliked Whole site on a slope (not particularly bad but a little tricky with motorbike and a little awkward with sleeping in a tent)
Would be nice to have a Shelf in showers to put you shampoo etc.. on

Liked The views were lovely, nice friendly site on a working farm, the cows were really friendly! Clean toilets and showers, nice welcome at the gate and just told to pick any pitch which was perfect as we could choose what suited us best away.
Tip - just take your towel and products if using the showers and come back to your tent if possible to get dressed, there isn’t really anywhere to hang anything and not much room to then get changed afterwards, wasn’t a problem for me but thought worth a mention! The showers were lovely and hot and clean!

Disliked One particular family were really loud very late and no one seemed to come round and check the site later on in the evening.

Liked Lovely 2 day break on a spacious site with a beautiful view over the hills with pendle hill in the distance. Not very busy and although basic, amenities are all that you need, flushing toilet, shower, washing up and fridge. Fire pits to hire for a relaxing evening with the back drop of bird song. Had a great time. Good walks from the site with local pub not a mile away. Site manager responsive to queries.

Disliked The site is on a side of a hill, but flat ground can be found and the slope is bare able for a night or 2.

Liked Very quiet location, very friendly staff, so clean and looked after, beautiful scenery.

Liked Came as couples for birthday and the site was great. It was very quiet due to season coming to a close.

The toilets were nice and clean.

The showers were hot.

There is a communal fridge.

Disliked No dislikes

Liked We really liked the site, facilities were great and was easy to find. Well maintained site.

Disliked A lot of the pitches are on a slope (due to ground)

Liked Views, toilet, running water. Local pub, once I got there.

Disliked A pretty bleak and depressing place to arrive as a solo bikepacker. It was windy and clearly had been raining and the only shelter was either the hedge right next to the busy road or earth banks in the middle of the field which were surrounded by waterlogged ground. Most of the campsite was waterlogged, surprising given all of it was on a slope. No hot water in any of the taps so I didnt want to try the showers in case of the same problem. The showers in the horse boxes are a bit quirky, maybe fun in the summer but when its not hot, very uninviting. 2 (or 3?) picnic benches for the whole site grouped together by the loos. Signage down the hill to the pub was pretty bad, one sign was lying on the ground, so I struggled to find the right way. Most of the walk there was through very waterlogged fields. All in all not sure what I paid £20 for.

Liked Decent and clean all I needed was there

Disliked Not many flat pitches. A bit pricey
