I've never been to a caravan site so beautifully well kept. This place is immaculate everywhere. Toilet/shower block, amazingly clean although my husband said the male side kept getting a bit abused. Staff super friendly even though we left on the wrong day and ended up staying 9 nights instead of 8. Very quiet with some beautiful walks. No way of getting to the place without some twisting country roads. Village didn't have a lot going on, but had pretty much what was needed. Driving through the high street was tight. Beautiful scenery all round. Train station within walking distance which had good variation to get to Lancaster, Leeds, Manchester, although the train station is close with plenty coming and going, it was not noise imposing.

Our first outing in our camper van and what a lovely time we had. From check in the receptionist spent a little extra time to show me the ropes. The site warden was so helpful when we needed a bit of guidance. The site is very well cared for toilets and showers immaculate each time I used them. We will definitely return for a longer stay in the future.
