Liked: Catching fish from the pond and seeing the goats and silky's

Liked: Absolutely love this campsite, lovely location and love that it is more than just a field which so many campsites are now. The goats, chickens etc were a lovely touch and the toilets were super clean. You can hear lots of wildlife and see the stars. A great price, and the lady who runs it is lovely and goes above and beyond, we would definitely recommend. She even rang us to check us in as we arrived pretty late, which was a lovely touch.

Disliked: The only thing we think could be improved is that there aren't any signs on the outer fence warning that it is electric. We didn't realise, and I touched it on the first night and thought it was a static shock, but our puppy ran into it the next day and cried out, at which point we inspected more carefully and realised it was indeed electric. No harm done but I can imagine that if a toddler ran into it and got shocked, parents might not be too happy. So not really a "dislike", maybe just an idea to get a sign on there to avoid any future disgruntled parents!

Liked: Very friendly people good facilities and really nice setting. Pond for fishing and access to river was ideal. Enclosed to stop an old deaf wandering dog going too far away so he enjoyed the freedom

Liked: A really great secluded retreat ran by a lovely family. Plenty of plots to choose from with fire pits and wood available on site. Loved the the shower and toilets and recycling/washing up area. All spotlessly maintained. The horses along with the chickens 🐓 and goats 🐐enclosure was a massive hit with our boys. They’re still talking excitedly about feeding and walking the goats (which turned a few heads of the cyclists passing us on the Penine trail l! 😅)

Disliked: A fair few mosquitoes 🦟 but they didn’t spoil the fun or our enjoyment of the venue. All part of experiencing the great outdoors.

Liked: We visited with my husband and dog. It is a beautiful site and maybe because we went on weekdays or during school time, we had plenty of space - which was handy since our dog gets overexcited around other dogs. My husband genuinely said 'best campsite ever'. Both Craig and Claire were so lovely and welcoming. They know what one needs for a good camping experience. There were some communal sinks to do the dishes. A shower, compost toilets. Let me add really nice clean compost toilets!! It was just so peaceful and relaxing,we will definitely try to go back

From the manager: What a lovely review, thank you 😊. It was lovely to meet you both and we are very pleased that you had a great stay. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Liked: Loved this campsite. Choose it last minute just to take my boys away camping for a night, and it was spot on!! Lovely and quiet and chilled. Boys loved the animals, and the freedom to explore. Would certainly go again.

From the manager: Hi Chris, Thanks for the positive review. We are really pleased that you had such a great stay. Hopefully we will see you again soon 🙂

Liked: Lovely area. Lots of space on the site. Really cute animals on site - especially the pygmy goats! The owner was really friendly and welcoming and showed us round the site.

Disliked: The price of this site doesn’t match the facilities (2 small unisex compost toilets and 1 small unisex shower) - for the same price elsewhere you get separate gender flushable toilet blocks and multiple showers. Beware of the mosquitoes !! Me and my partner are covered in bites despite using mosquito spray :( Also a little expensive to use their firepits/wood (£8 for approx 3 hour burning time of wood and £5 for the firepit).

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, it always good to hear both the good and the bad (we are always keen to improve anywhere in any way that we can). We live in an area surrounded by rare birds as well as an abundance of other wildlife and are keen that our site is as "green" and environmentally friendly as possible in order to have a neglible impact on the area. Our shower in fact runs for the main part from our solar panels in order to again have as little an imprint as possible. It does state on our listing, and the photos that we have compost toilets. We are sorry that you had not realised this before you booked. We think that in terms of compost toilets that they above average, and all of our feedback to date had been positive. With regards to the Mosquitoes, unfortunately due to the inclement weather we have had this summer the mosquitoes have been worse than normal in the whole area, and from what i have heard have been bad in a number of other parts of the UK also. As for the firewood, we are sorry to hear that you feel that £8 per bundle is not good value. We had felt that we were pretty good value compared to most places. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Claire & Craig

Liked: Fabulous site in a quiet location, adjacent a beautiful river. Lots of room on site for the kids to play and to run about. Owners were fantastic and really helpful, especially sharing good local walks for the kids. Facilities were clean and as advertised with a huge amount of space between pitches.

From the manager: Thank you so much for you positive review. Craig and I are both very pleased that you had enjoyed your time here. We hope that you enjoy the rest of the summer and we hope to see you all again soon :-)

Liked: We spent a lovely few days camping at Tents on the Went. The site is nice and quiet with the pitches spread out either side of a pond so there's lots of space. The campsite is on a farm with horses, chickens and goats. The owners and their family were really friendly and let our two young sons feed the chickens and goats. We even booked to take three of the goats (Ivy, Maggie and Timmy) for a walk. It was only £5 per person which we thought was great value and our sons loved it. Location wise the site was perfect. It's close to many walking trails, we took one towards Pollington and the canal. It was only a 5 minute walk to the local village pub, the Old George Inn, which had a Biker and BBQ night on when we went. We also had fun doing a bit of fishing in the river and pond as well as playing cricket in the paddock field located alongside the tent pitches, so ideal for our sons to play in. We had a lovely stay and would definitely visit again.
