I will keep this short and sweet as I echo what the majority have said about this lovely site. We came for a weekend so glad we found this site with its clean facilities and roomy pitches. We will definitely stay here again hopefully for a longer stay as its situated in such a good spot for visiting place's. Plenty of places to eat out. In walking distance to ingleton falls what more can you ask for.
We have just had our 2nd visit to this wonderful site, this is well situated for us as we have family in ingleton and we take our grandchildren. We have not had a problem with children on the site and disagree that it should be adults only, there is plenty to do in the surrounding areas to tire children out. I hope this site keeps going for many years as we intend to return many times. However I do agree that a laundry area would be a good idea especially a tumble dryer.
What a lovely site with great facilities and friendly owners.
We have just returned from a 10-day stay at Thornbrook Barn, leaving a day early due to forecast bad weather, but loved every minute of being there. Plenty to do in the area with the Three Peaks, a number of cycle routes passing through Ingleton, the lakes (Windermere) being a short drive away, lovely villages, caves etc. We'll certainly back to continue exploring the area.
The campsite is excellent and well laid out with spotless facilities. Hedges planted around each generous plot will look great as they mature and will further improve an already great site. The owners were very friendly, relaxed and helpful, and the whole family are often seen taking care of the facilities, cutting the grass, clearing the stream to keep the site looking good.
We were there with kids and whilst there is no play area this wasn't a problem as there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. Our children were certainly made to feel welcome on the site.
For persons taking an awning with their outfit to Thornbrook Barn I would recommend taking some long heavy duty triangle shape metal pegs, at least for the corners of the awning, as the ground can loosen easily with traditional round rock pegs. If on one of the super pitches with a grey water drain don't forget a longer waste pipe too.
We were looking for a site well situated for walking in the Yorkshire Dales and used this review website to choose Thornbrook Barn on the basis of other people's comments. They were right and we would fully support what has already been said:
This is a high quality Site with modern facilities and a beautiful location.
It is close to Ingleton village and well placed for some fabulous walking- we went up Whernside from the Site, an ~15 mile round trip. There were lots of easier walks too and a bus service.
The Site is a real sun trap, especially for units higher up.
The owners have really invested money and time on layout and facilities, they deserve to do well.
Maybe the only suggestion we could make might be to add a clothes drying area, washing line or something. It's not always rain free in Yorkshire after all.
Excellent. Beautiful situation, topclass facilities, very clean, plenty of toilets/showers, hot water etc, covered wash up area. Good walks from site. Good pub (food) 5mins walk; ditto exc farm shop/restaurant. 20mins village-shops, outdoor pool. Not really for children-a plus for us. Lovely owners.
Just visited this lovely site with our three children. I'm not going to write a long review however I agree with all the positives that have already been mentioned. The owner even fixed my jockey wheel that had a puncture. He really is a chilled out guy and spends time talking with the campers offering his local knowledge. As a previous reviewer mentioned children were playing ball games and hanging around the brook. What do you expect they are children? That's what children do. Having said that if I had gone without kids and just with my partner this would annoy me too. This is where the owners have got it wrong. They say children are welcome however in reality they are not. There is nothing for them to do and so of course they will cause mischief. My view is that this site should be adults only. Apart from this it truly is a lovely, clean chilled site and we will definitely be back ( minus the kids ).
Well designed, new site with excellent facilities, many pitches have water and a drain, well organised check in. Close to a country store that's sells every thing you'll need for breakfast, lunch and dinners, you can eat there too. There is a pub, the Marton Arms less than 10minutes walk away, they serve very good food. A slightly longer walk will take you to Ingleton, where there are a few interesting shops and an out door swimming pool. I'd suggest the site owners go adult only
This is a lovely little site which will be even better once the hedges have had a chance to grow and mature. The pitches big and level and are separated from neighbouring plots by grass and/or hedging. Do make sure you take your hard ground tent pegs with you though because you will need them! Even though the site is new, the layout and the different levels mean that the owners have managed to avoid it looking and feeling like a car park. Although there was someone on site who didn't seem to know what the mop was for in the shower block, nor how to clean the sink out after they had washed up the facilities were generally very clean and tidy and the provision of four male and four female showers meant that there was no queuing even though the site was almost full for three of the days we were there. If we had to be picky, we would suggest that only having one washing up sink for the site is a mistake - two would have been much better - and given that the site is in a prime walking/biking area it would have been great to have a washing machine and/or drying facilities on site. We were very lucky with the weather during our stay, but if it had been wet then somewhere to dry boots, etc would have been good. The site is only a pleasant 10 minute walk from Ingleton which is a lovely little town. If you visit in the summer, take your swimming costumes with you - the open air pool which is staffed by volunteers looks fantastic and we were very sad we didn't get to try it out. The waterfalls walk is also well worth doing. We were a bit sceptical at first about paying to do a walk in a National Park but you can see where your money goes as you go round the trial. Do take heed of the warnings at the entrance though - even for experienced walkers it is a strenuous walk with lots of steps up and down. The Country Harvest farm shop over the road from the site is worth a visit. It isn't cheap but the food was very good quality and their Yorkshire Pasties should definitely be tried. This was our first visit to the west of the Dales (we more usually stay in Wensleydale and Swaledale), but we will definitely be back to both the area and Thornbrook hopefully very soon!
His site is very well located for exploring the north west, we stayed 2 nights, As everyone else has said the site is beautiful and faultless, it looked like the site was quite new and the toilet block was out of this world. There are a couple of nice country pubs near by that do excellent meals, and also a farm shop just 5 minutes walk away that is well worth a visit. This site was a little more expensive than any site we’ve been on previously but well worth it and will return when in the area
Our 1st visit was when it was a 6 pitch site and we were really satisfied with our choice, hence my earlier review. Just a 1 night visit last week and the fabulous site as was previously stated has, in my opinion, developed into something almost unbeatable and in one of the best designed and built settings possible, where the design and layout makes everything easily accessible and kept in pristine order. A credit to this family team. I can see one problem, that if not monitored could develop into a problem and that would be ball games taking place on the access road and encroaching onto other users pitches. Otherwise the best you will find.
As with other reviewers, this site is beautiful! a lot of thought has gone into the planning and layout. The pitches are a generous size, with grass in between. Once the newly planted hedges have established, there will also be the privacy that most of us like too. The showers are immaculate, but then they have only been in use for a couple of months, with underfloor heating. Bliss! There is an undercover pot wash area and also an information room where all sorts of snippets of info can be found. There is also a picture gallery of how the campsite has developed in the last few months, and it is amazing the transformation! Well done to the owners!
The campsite is an easy walk to the Country Harvest shop which is beside the A65 and has lots of tasty treats for your holiday. The car park is always busy so a popular place for people to visit. Ingleton Waterfalls is also an easy walk from the campsite, in the opposite direction. However, the Waterfall walk is as described in the leaflet, strenuous (!) but well worth the 4hrs it took us to do. (we must be unfit!)
In the hamlet of Thornton in Lonsdale which is immediately behind the campsite, there is The Marton Arms. A lovely little pub/hotel, which allows dogs into the bar area but not in the restaurant. Extremely good food! We ate there twice during our week long stay and we weren't disappointed.
We visited Hawes twice, once on market day which was Tuesday( as is Settle) and we had chips from The Hawes Chippie, and I can safely say they were the best chip shop chips I have ever tasted! Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. Absolutely gorgeous! We went again on the Thursday to visit the Creamery as we ran out of time on our previous visit. Well worth going if only for the cheese tasting!
Most of our evenings were spent with our friends who were in an adjacent caravan, sitting in the awning, and we could barely hear any noise from the main road, I think because the site is in a dip? It isn't until you walk to the end of the farm drive that you realise this.
The views all around the site are lovely (I think Ingleborough hill is the main one you can see)
Dogs have to be exercised away from the pitches, off site, and that would be my only tiny flaw. A small exercise field, where dogs could run off the lead and for all dog owners to clear up after their hounds!
It's not even a criticism, just a personal thing for my dog in particular, who would rather do his thing off the lead! However, we managed and there is a bin in the lane for such things.
The owners have also said in their description of the site, that there are no areas for children to play ball games, and there isn't, but the families who were there, were letting their children play ball games. I felt that it isn't really a site for families as there is nowhere dedicated to playing. It also states in site rules that children weren't allowed to play in the brook that runs through the site, but they were. However, once the hedges have established themselves then that may stop.
A lovely family who have invested a lot into this site and we wish them all the best for their future. I would happily recommend this site to anyone going to that area of the Yorkshire Dales.
This is, by far the best site we have visited. Brand new, modern facilities that are second to none, as good and as clean as the best hotels. It is easy to get to, just 12 miles from M6 and good 'A' roads to get to it.
The showers are big with a partitioned clothes space so they don't get wet, the toilets, separate sinks and showers alike are spotless, 24hrs a day. The site is well laid out and the pitches are huge. Enough room for the van, car, awning plus. Location is 1 mile from Ingleton and there are so many walks around; Dent, Clapham, Hawes, Bentham to name a few.
We have unfinished business in the area and will be booking again here. Thanks for an amazing site with amazing views and facilities.
We booked this at short notice originally for 6 nights. It was a shame we had to leave early as this is a superb site. It is clean, tidy and very we'll kept. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent. Having told Sandra the owner that we would not be able to stay the length of time we had booked she gave us a refund, which was unexpected yet very welcome. Although the site has nothing for children my 2 grandsons managed to amuse themselves, mainly in the beck. Having family that live in the village of ingleton this is a site we most certainly plan to return to and would recommend to anyone.
This was our first outing in our new tourer and we chose well.
The site was spotlessly clean. Toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. All pitches are hardstanding. No facilities for children re a play area, but its not that kind of site. More of a quiet hideaway.
A good base for walks around Ingleton. Country Harvest shop (pricey) 5 mins walk from site. 10 mins walk to Marton Arms (excellent food served at reasonable prices).
The owners are very helpful and allowed us to stay later.
Will be back in the future
