Date of Visit: April 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Absurdbird 10 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a 3 night stay at this very pleasant site, right on the Lancaster canal. The marina was quite busy which we found interesting but the caravan park managed to stay quiet and peaceful. It is nicely set out with hard standing pitches with grass between and a grass perimeter.

The toilet and shower block is old but well maintained and kept very clean. The showers are free, three in both the ladies and the gents and not the push button type. There is also a pot washing room and a laundry room with a token operated washing machine and dryer.

There is a shop on site which is mainly a chandlers for the marina but does sell a few groceries and caravan spares.

There are plenty of water and bin stations around the site, I didn't see any recycling. There is no dog walk or poo bins.

The canal tow path is 2 minutes away, out of the entrance and turn right along the lane. Garstang is a very pleasant 10 - 15 minutes walk, with all the shops and pubs you will need. There is a Sainsbury's and a Co-op. We enjoyed the food at the Royal Oak Hotel and it was the only pub we found that allowed dogs in.

The ducks and rabbits around the site are a delight. The ducks enjoyed drinking from and washing in our dogs' water bowl!

This is definitely a site we would be happy to return to.

 This is a very peaceful site. The Toilet/Shower block is quite small but adequate and kept reasonably clean by an outside contractor. There are hard standing and grass pitches. If you like rabbits and ducks, you will love this site. The ducks follow you everywhere. A nice 15 minute walk along the canal towpath take you into the town centre, where there is a big choice of pubs and eating places.

 We have just spent a very pleasant weekend at this lovely site. We found it very quiet and peaceful, well maintained and spacious pitches.

The shower blocks are old, as stated by a previous reviewer but clean and plenty of hot water on each occasion.

Very pleasant walk into Garstang where we had a lovely lunch at Pipers on the High Street. Great value, beautifully presented food and good service.

The site is very easy to find and not far from the M6. The canal side location is great and its very easy to walk into Garstang. The reception staff were helpful and friendly.

The low score for child friendly is because we didn't have ours with us - there weren't many children on the site so perhaps a single child would not have found too many playmates. Thank you for a very relaxing weekend. 


Date of Visit: October 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Claver58 4 reviews from this member

 A marina site by the canalside with statics, seasonal and a field for tourers with maybe about 35 pitches.

Very nice and quiet site - no road noise and there is a children's play area at one end.

Every pitch with hardstanding and generous spacing. Very tidy site with one loo / shower / washing-up etc building. We think there may or may not be a disabled loo so check if you require this.

Reasonable analogue TV signal as at Oct '09.

Full up for the 1st w/end of Oct so it is popular - we would go again.

Reviewer: Dave487 8 reviews from this member

 Easy to find off the A6. Friendly staff at reception. Large hard standing pitches. The site is more or less on the canal, for walking into Garstang, where there are plenty pubs, shops and take aways. The nearest pub is Th'Owd Tithe Barn which was okay for drinks, but we didn't like the food at all. The site will benefit from the maturing trees in a few years. The only let downs are the children's playground which consists of one piece of play equipment on a huge field and the toilet block/showers, which are very old and need modernisation. They are fine though. The price was okay too, £16.80 per night for two adults and two children with electric hook up. I would visit again.

Reviewer: TIMMYT 1 review from this member

 We have just spent two nights at this very peaceful site. Surrounded by rabbits and ducks it was very tidy, with the toilets and showers kept clean and up to a good standard. There is not much local in the way of shops as there is not one on site (just one for the marina) its about 20 -30mins walk into Garstang if that (we had a pram and a dog so would take longer!) The area itself is lovely, and would recommend for a short break. 


Date of Visit: October 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Taxater 2 reviews from this member

 We had a long weekend here in early October. Just off the A6 the site is in pleasant surroundings and is easy to find. Most of the site is taken over by statics which can only be accessed through the touring site. There is one toilet / shower block which although a bit dated is kept very clean. The chandler's shop (remember it's a marina) doubles as the site's reception and sells a few basics.

There isn't much in the way of shops near the site and the nearest pub had closed down when we went. Garstang can be accessed via the canal bank and is about a half hour's walk away. The town itself is quite a pleasant place with a few pubs which sell food and a good range of shops. Down the A6 towards Preston is a huge, modern garden centre which is well worth a visit (nice cafe). The Fylde Coast is close by and again well worth visiting.

We would definitely go again for a relaxing weekend.

Reviewer: Shoney 5 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 1st outing of the season and picked this site because it was local to us. (we did take a sneak preview at the end of last year)

We are already re booked for 4 return visits.

This is a peaceful site, no bar,club house, on site grocery store or extensive playground.

However, you will get the most friendly welcome you could wish for and a very well kept site, huge pitches and the town of Garstang in a very picturesque 15-20 min walk along the canal which has all the amenities you could wish for. e.g. me and my pal were sent out to find camping chairs as his Mrs.Dizzy forgot to pack any!. Mission accomplished.

The toilet blocks are more than adequate although I did not shower (I have one in the van before you start) my daughter and her friend did, one had a hot one had cold.(teenagers what can you say)

The marina is a delight it is safe and well kept, OK for a stroll without going too far.

There is minimal noise from a busy A6 but this would be being very nit picky. Overall a great site.

Congratulations to the Dodd family from the Shone's for the investment and care they have made in the site it is very apparent and the visitors to the site when we were there respected it also.

Well worth a visit, wait until you come to pay. Absolutely in line with today's requirements, you get real value for your money. 


Date of Visit: September 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Tigermouse 4 reviews from this member

 This was our first visit to this lovely peaceful site, and it certainly won't be our last.

Adjacent to the Lancaster canal and its own marina where day boats can be hired, the site is well set out, clean, level and well cared for, with good-sized hardstanding pitches all with electric. The heated toilet and shower block is extremely clean and fresh, and the free showers are hot. There is a grassy children's' play area at one end of the site, and the small shop supplies most basic groceries along with boating equipment and a few camping essentials.

There is a nice baker's shop just along the lane and the small town of Garstang with several pubs and take-aways is just a few minutes away by car, or a 10-15 minute walk along the canal. For those who like wildlife the rabbits and ducks which roam around the site are a joy to watch.

Blackpool, Lancaster, Morecambe and the Lake District can all be easily reached, as can the beautiful countryside and moors of the Trough of Bowland.

There are only two slight downsides to this site - the traffic noise from the nearby main road, though after a while you don't notice it as much, and the lack of a decent dog walk, though dogs can run free along the towpath on the far side of the canal.

All in all this is a lovely site in a lovely location, and to slightly misquote The Terminator - 'We'll be back'!

Reviewer: GRAHAMDODD 1 review from this member

 On behalf of the family and staff at Bridge House Marina & Caravan Park, May we apologise for the disruption and inconvenience that the “building work” has caused the last reviewer and anyone else that has been disappointed with their stay.

This has been due to the re-development of the top half of the caravan site being badly delayed due to the unforeseen weather conditions from January through March, which we regret to say has led to the completion date of 1st of March 2008 being missed by over two months.

We can now however say that the “building work” has been completed and the site is back to the high standards we have strived for and achieved over the last 25 years!

We hope that this will allay any fears that the last review has raised and we hope to hear from you soon, if you require any help or have further questions please telephone us, and we will gladly assist you.

Yours truly

The Dodd Family
