Bowland Escapes

Liked: Lovely place to stay, variety of accommodation types, and looked like there was a tippee events place for wedding etc. The animal zoo was amazing, loads to do for children for £12 each, could easily spend all day there. Bathrooms/kitchen areas spotless. Lovely reception area.

Disliked: Although the camping field had its positives ie no restricted pitch sizes, there were a few things that could make it even better. Could invest in levelling the site as on an angle. Appreciate the point about no cars on the grass which protects it but could think about widening the existing shingle path so you can drive down to drop stuff off or even park opposite your tent. Also the grass needed a mow but appreciate it was wet which isnt ideal mowing weather. Bathroom door needs a handle as very difficult to open just with the lock button.

Liked: Beautiful surroundings, helpful staff. A few peacocks joined us by the fire.

Disliked: As far a I could see, not many pitches and only two toilets/showers (although clean and well maintained). Had lots of room in the spring, but in busy summer months it could be a bit crowded.

From the manager: Thankyou James we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. P.S. We only allow a maximum of 5 tents so there is plenty room for all to relax and enjoy :)

Liked: The site, the park and the hosts :) Thank you so much for letting us upgade into one of your fabulous pods ... i think we would have been washed away in a tent ! :)

Disliked: No complaints at all

From the manager: Hi Gemma, you are very welcome and yes - the rain came down rather hard ! Maybe see you again in 2024 and hopefully the weather will be a little kinder :)

Liked: Loved our stay in camping pods. Pods are small so with older children having camping bunk bed was handy. Pod area has fantastic fire pits and each pod has trees around if for added privacy. Kids loved the playground and exploring the woods and finding water buffalo!

From the manager: Thank you for your great pod review :)

Liked: Benches on the field, lovely toilet and shower facilities, compact site. Great for star gazing

Disliked: Could have done with a tap to fill larger water container, but not too far to get water from the sink

From the manager: Thanks Sarah for your god review; we are pleased you enjoyed your stay :)

Liked: Loved this campsite. Facilities were fab. Mixture of fields with their own toilets, sinks etc. Loved being able to hear the owls and the river etc at night lying in my tent. Stars were amazing to watch. Firepit rental was great. The Wild Boar Park was fantastic. My children (ages 10 and 13) loved the interactivity.

Disliked: Nothing... was such a nice little place!

From the manager: WOW thankyou Karen for your fabulous review !!

Liked: Great little campsite with good facilities - washing up stations and toilet/shower blocks very nearby. There are only 5 pitches and each one has it's own picnic table.Right on the edge of the animal park so lots of wildlife around the campsite - we had peacocks join us for breakfast.

Disliked: While the showers were great, they were more like a wet room and I don't think the drains cope very well as everything is off grid - on the second morning one of the bathrooms was under a couple of cm of water. There is WiFi signal near the pods but none and no signal in the campsite so bear that in mind.

From the manager: Thank you Kat for your 10/10 review, and whilst there was a couple of niggles this obviously didn't spoil your holiday break. I think we are now on top of the drainage in the new shower area so all should be fine and unfortunately as we are so rural the internet isn't great, but generally adequate for basic tasks, and you like other guests probably appreciate a bit of time away from constant messages and social media etc ;) Thanks again and hope to see you in 2024

Liked: We loved our stay! Campsite and farm park were really friendly and plenty to do for the kids at the farm. Surrounding area is beautiful!! Campsite is lovely and the facilities are one of the best I've seen, clean and well looked after! We camped this time but would love to try out a camping pod or the roundhouse next time. Really lovely weekend had by all We will definitely be back :)
