Cheryl H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely no frills campsite in a beautiful location. We pitched towards the top of the field for the better views. Such a scenic and tranquil place. There was only one other tent so it was almost like wild camping! Joe was so friendly and welcoming. Toilets were clean. We would definitely return.

Disliked: The field is quite uneven but we were fine on an airbed. The midges were horrendous! We got over 59 bites each but this is natures fault, not the sites!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. We are so sorry you ended up with bites and we would love to see you again next year. Thanks Joe and Robyn

James H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site is in a stunning setting, the owners are really helpful and friendly and it’s not an overcrowded site.

Disliked: A lot of the site is on quite an incline so if you want a level pitch it’s not that. There are some fairly flat areas that are fine though.

From the manager: Thank you so much for this review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we really do hope to see you again soon. Take care Joe and Robyn

Local attractions

Make sure you’ve got your walking boots in your luggage when you set off here – you’ll need them for strolls on Marsden Moor, walks along the canal path through Standedge Tunnel and hikes through the Peak District National Park. The edge of the park is about five minutes’ drive away, with popular local walks at Butterley Reservoir (five minutes’ drive), Folly Dolly Falls (15 minutes) and Holme Moss (25 minutes). Even if you don’t immediately recognise the name Holmfirth (20 minutes), you may well find it’s familiar when you get there – the town was the location of the TV series Last of the Summer Wine, and visitors can stop by at Sid’s Café and Compo’s home before boarding a vintage bus to see some of the locations. A couple of other excellent days out nearby are at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (45 minutes), which has a collection of contemporary art around its historic estate, and the National Coal Mining Museum for England (40 minutes), in one of the UK’s oldest working mines and with a train ride and pit ponies to its name too.
