Date of Visit: June 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Psychaholic 1 review from this member

 Just spent 2 nights end of June at Dale Hey Farm. Tent with EHU. Advised by Catherine that they have just started allowing tents to pitch there, and we we shown to a large flat grassed area with room to park car at the side. Toilet/Shower block quite a walk away but they were clean, and included in the overall cost. Hot shower, although operated on push button, found if you leant on it from behind it kept a constant flow. Nice cubicles which included a separate sink area and seat & hooks for clothes and towels. An easy downhill walk to Ribchester with scenic walks around the surrounding areas. In the other direction towards Longridge, approx 3 miles away where there were more shops and pubs. We didn't explore the area to it's fullest, as only on a short break. Nice dog walk area (although we didn't take our dog) which circumnavigated the site and a path was neatly mown out for the walker, whilst letting dogs go off exploring in the overgrown areas. Overall a very enjoyable weekend, with hospitable hosts, Catherine & John, who were there to give advice and assistance but not intrusive.

 This is an excellent site. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The site is immaculately maintained and I would have no problem recommending it. There is space for children to play (it there is no rally on there is a whole empty field). There are clear paths giving access to the woods and walks direct from the site so no need to use your car, always a bonus. It is a short walk into Ribchester and the local Spar shop, again no need to use the car. Fab site, thoroughly recommended.

Reviewer: Ernbarton 18 reviews from this member

 Very very impressed just returned after 3 nights stay. Owners really friendly, site and toilet block was immaculately clean. The dog walk is in a meadow that has multiple circular paths that are all pleasant walks.

The site is surrounded by stunning views with all the hard standing pitches having 10amp electric hook up points and there are many other none electric pitches close to the rally field at the bottom of the site. The site also has a well presented seasonal pitch area.

Ribchester is 15 minutes walk from the site and the village itself has a Roman museum and Roman baths as well as the beautiful river Ribble meandering through. Two pubs both are dog friendly and meals served at the Ribchester arms looked very nice though we didn't eat there. There is also a local Spar combined with a post office for your daily essentials.

Top quality site and for £12. 00 per night (midweek) it excellent value for money.

Will return again.

Reviewer: Sleepyhead 2 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site! Highly recommended.

The owners are fabulous hosts! very friendly and helpful.

The pitches are very spacious and have plenty of room for awning and car, with still plenty of room to sit out.

There is a fantastic dog walk which has mowed out pathways and dog bins are provided at various points throughout. The site has beautiful views.

I stayed at the top of the site, which I have read in previous reviews that it is noisy due to traffic. Please take no notice of this, yes traffic passes by but it is not noisy and not noticeable!.

Children have plenty of areas to play which means they are not running around the caravan.

The toilet facilities are excellent and kept immaculate! and cleaned daily. Large shower cubicles with separate sink area, absolutely lovely, a credit to the owners.

Ribchester village is approx. 15mins walk (no more than that) and has pubs and shops etc. There is a spar for purchasing food, drinks, etc. There is a social club which is really cheap £2 a pint!

Longridge is approx. 3 miles in the opposite direction and has shops, pubs, Chinese takeaway, Indian, Italian etc. And even a cinema.

I would highly recommend this site and plan to stay here a lot in the coming years.

Reviewer: Jandjd 3 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site. What a jewel. Toilets/showers immaculate. Grounds very well kept. The dog/person (woodland) walk is a sight to behold. We saw two deer just walking our dog.

Pitches level. Owners friendly and pleasant. Views exceptional. Woodland walk out of this world.

Ribchester just 15 minutes walk. And what a find. Roman museum. Roman baths. Roman granaries. And to top it all - an exceptional view of the River Ribble.

Dale Hey is a little jewel.

We will be back.

Reviewer: John.wooff 7 reviews from this member

 Just got back from this site. Although I have visited this site 4 times in the past this is my first review. The site is a rural position and has great view's the shower block is very clean and spacious and is free. The site is dog friendly with a great dog walk, The owners are friendly but not intrusive, he is always busy doing something or other. Each time I have visited this site I can see improvement on the last visit, Ribchester is about 0. 5 mile down the road and Longridge about 4 miles.

Reviewer: Stephengale 6 reviews from this member

 Super site. Nice, rural aspect with views across the valley and a picturesque brook at the bottom of the hill. We saw Deer among the trees on several occasions.

Toilet block was clean & spacious. Some of the other tourers were regular customers, which is always a good sign. The road is close by but it didn't bother us.

We only came for the Open Golf in nearby Lytham St Annes so it's not a part of the world I'm very familiar with but I would certainly use this site again.

Reviewer: Sueper 19 reviews from this member

 This was our first time in this area and what a fabulous little site.

The facilities were spotless. We were told to pick a pitch and chose the last one by the little fenced off pond and we had fabulous views. There is a lovely little walk through all the trees.

The site was so quiet and relaxing we were able to chill and recharge our batteries.

We walked into Ribchester (about 15 minutes away)and followed the 'historical tour' from a leaflet obtained from the little cafe in the village.

We walked into Longridge (wished we had cycled instead, a bit too far to walk for me!). There is a very good supermarket and petrol station and a few interesting shops at Longridge.

This is a gem of a site, lovely friendly owners and very reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend it.

 Just arrived home from second stay to this site,

The greeting at barrier to being shown which pitch we could have and a little chat telling us where things are, John makes you more than welcome.

Met Cath the next night cleaning toilet block at 8pm, No closing of facilities here.

The site on a whole cannot be faulted, and with John and Cath living next door, always a ear to bend if need be.

Would recommend this site.

 Just spent a brilliant weekend at Dale Hey. We came with friends and we all enjoyed the site. The pitches are gravel hardstanding with grass for the awning. The showers and toilets are immaculate and the site is very well kept. It is an ideal location for Ribchester as its within walking distance and the pubs there are all dog and child friendly.

The views from this site are stunning and its one of our favourite sites as its not too far away.

The owners Catherine and John are very welcoming and we will be returning.

This site is highly recommended.

 Just returned from a lovely weekend at Dale Hey Farm. This is a really lovely site in the gorgeous area of Ribchester with stunning views.

The site is very clean and tidy. The owners went out of their way to help in anyway they could. All the pitches are hard standing and the water pipe is v close by.

There is not a play area, but we were there to celebrate a friends birthday so all the children just played in the surrounding fields and wooded area. (there is a stream at the end of the land - so be vigilant with little ones).

There is a really good park less than a mile away - round the corner from the Spar. There's the odd pub here and there but we didn't call in.

We used our own facilities but our friends said the showers/loos were really nice & clean.

All in all, we would definitely recommend.

Reviewer: Slaphead1951 9 reviews from this member

 Stayed 3 nights at this site, and I echo all the positive comments.

Facilities are spotless and the site and pitches are well kept.

There is a Spar in Ribchester for essentials and as said previously, a couple of good pubs for refreshments. Blackpool and the coast are within easy reach, and John and Catherine are always willing to offer advice on places to visit.

Despite the weather we had a good relaxing stay and would recommend to anyone.

Reviewer: Vanessa1958 7 reviews from this member

 Stayed two nights here with our friends and our dog, what a beautiful site,

the owner was a really friendly guy, and always had time for a chat, he was up early tending to the grass, pitches and rockeries, the site is very well kept, and nice big pitches.

The toilet block is immaculate, I think it is brand new, fabulous hot power showers, with a separate cubicle with a chair to put your clothes on, then another separate cubicle with a sink in, all contained within your own shower room, never seen a shower block so spotless as this.

Will definitely be coming back here again, highly recommend you give it a try if you are in that neck of the woods.

 Just returned from another lovely weekend at Dale Hey. The owners are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them.

The site seems to attract friends/families who meet up to have a get together. That's lovely but with lots of kids around can be alittle noisy at times!

The walk into Ribchester is 15-20mins and there are a couple of nice pubs, dog friendly to. The walk back is alittle harder as it is up hill! This is a lovely site surrounded by lovely country side.

There is a little road noise and perhaps now the site has expanded a second toilet block may be an idea as I imagine when full it can a problem with only two showers.

Reviewer: Samandlee 1 review from this member

 As others have said, well kept site, with friendly attentive owners. The dog walk is fantastic, we saw deer, rabbits and lots of birds, with lots of strategically place bins so it was immaculate- Clearly a lot of thought has been put into this.

We have 3 small children, who enjoyed the space and wildlife, and who could all come to the shower (with mum) at once. The shower rooms have 3 small sections so it was easy to keep dry things dry whilst excited children are in the shower. What a great design, and always immaculately clean, the loos had nice touches too like air freshener.

Lots to see & do in Ribble Valley, and Catherine even scoured the local paper for us to see what was on locally.

Rock pegs essential for awnings, and the ground is boggy when its raining, although it drains very well.

We'll be back - would love to see a swing or slide!
