Polubione: The area is lovely and scenery from pitch was great.

On site farm great for the little ones, we did not visit as our children are a little older however, we did hear good reviews from fellow campers who had visited.

Niepolubione: Advertised as no noise on site after 8pm, on a sunny evening I would never expect for this to be the case and I feel 10/11pm to be fair however one party playing music and being loud until well after midnight unchallenged spoilt the atmosphere.

We arrived back to our tent on day 2 to find a family had been allowed to pitch two full sized tents in the one pitch site and park their 2 cars either side leaving them incredibly close to our tent and practically driving over our guy ropes.

Both of which really did spoil our stay.

Add to that only 2 shower cubicles and 3 toilets to serve the whole camp and the washing up areas having no sort or roof/shelter left is very disappointed with our stay and we have no plans to ever return sadly.

Polubione: Great site, plenty of space on our pitch. Children had plenty of space to play. Other visitors were nice and friendly. Nice and quiet of an evening. Staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and we decided to cut our stay short this time but will definitely be returning when there is sunshine.
Would highly recommend this site to others.

Polubione: Friendly warden on site all the time. Toilets and showers were clean. Only 3 toilets and 2showers though. Didn’t go to the farm but discounted entry with camping.
Bell tents looked nice but need to book extra welcome pack to get extras like kettle.

Niepolubione: Could need more toilets and showers in busy times. Had to queue for shower one morning.

Polubione: Pitches close to toilet and shower block. Beautiful views. Warden onsite if needed. Car could be next to tent pitch. We struggled as a family of 5 to take down tent and pack up for 1000hrs but the site was very patient, we were around 30-40 mins late. We had a lovely enjoyable stay here and happy we booked.

Niepolubione: The actual Thornton Hall attraction appeared quite pricey with 3 children, even with the generous discount as campers there. When my husband asked lady on reception, there was the entry fee, then some activities inside cost extra ontop. We were worried this would creep up with 3 kids who'd want to do everything so we went along to Skipton castle instead and we could take our dog there too. Looked a great attraction though but it was difficult that the kids could see a play ground ahead of them that they weren't able to use. It would be great to have a small play area for them that they could use as part of the campsite. Still a lovely family friendly site though.

Od administratora: Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback — we’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the pitches, views, and the presence of our warden helped make your experience more convenient.

We appreciate your comments on the farm park We strive to offer a fun and memorable experience, and we understand that extra costs for activities can be a concern. We do try to make the attraction as accessible as possible, with lots included in the entry price, such as bottle feeding and pony grooming, and only a handful of additional activities available at extra cost.

We’ve noted your suggestion for a small play area at the campsite, and we’ll certainly consider it as we look at potential improvements for the future.

Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for another stay soon!

Polubione: The showers/toilets were nice - however not enough leave long ques not ideal

Niepolubione: Grass on the non electric field was un cut. Field exceptionally un level probably the worst we have ever stayed on.
Didn’t have any record of ours or multiple other peoples bookings - we had all used pitch up.
Noisy road just below the non electric field.
Piles of rubble (mountains) also in the field.
People accessing the farm drove past the camping field (often very fast) making it feel unsafe for children on the campsite.

Od administratora: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the showers and toilets nice, though we understand the queues were frustrating at busy times.

We’re sorry to hear the non-electric field didn’t meet your expectations. We do work on maintaining the grass regularly, and we’ll review the leveling to improve the comfort for our guests.

Regarding the booking issues, we experienced some technical problems with Pitch Up recently, which affected a few reservations. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this caused and are working closely with them to prevent this happening again.

As for the farm entry road, we appreciate your concerns around the speed of vehicles. We'll be reviewing how we manage this area to ensure it feels as safe as possible for families on the campsite.

Thanks again for your honest comments — we’ll take them on board as we continue to improve.
