Bowland Fell Park

The park was a lovely place, really nice and quiet, which is what we wanted, looking for a relaxed spring break. Upon arrival, when entering the reception area, the team was not as friendly as would have expected, and being honest, all just stared at us awkwardly. It didn't feel very welcoming. Upon collecting the keys later that day, the girl we dealt with was much more friendly. I would not recommend the caravans here due to the cleanliness of them. All cupboards in the kitchen were grubby, and thankfully, I had brought cleaning supplies to clean them all down prior to using the kitchen. All utensils in the kitchen where rotten, pans, and measuring jug had food residue on them, meaning we needed to wash absolutely everything before using it. After being in the caravan for a day, we noticed a dirty wine glass that was hidden between the curtains, which was obviously from the previous guests. Inside the kitchen cupboards were dirty. We noticed a few marks on the bed sheets, but they did seem fresh other than that. The beds had been poorly made, meaning that the sheets didn't stay on, and we had been sleeping on the plastic sheet every night. We had paid for the Internet, which was so called fast but kept on cutting out, so it wasn't really worth the £15. Overall, I wouldn't visit this site again due to cleanliness of the caravan but the area was lovely.

We have just stayed here Monday-Friday. Caravan was lovely clean and everything was great. I recommend bringing baking trays for cooking as there only the small grill one which for us wasn’t too much of a problem. The bed I found be comfy the only downside is that the sheet is a flat sheet so you spend a lot of the time fixing this which was a bit annoying. The pub and restaurant we only had drinks in staff seemed friendly and it was busy for food but again we didn’t try any of it. The pool we booked for 9am on the Tuesday as this is closed on Mondays when we arrived the lifeguard was setting up which we were still allowed to come and get changed. We did this and went for our swim. The pool is small but it’s warm and perfect as they do not have a lot of people at the one time. When we got out the pool to get changed the other changing room that we used I can only describe as the worse, dirtiest changing room I’ve seen if I could have got my children out the pool and went straight back to the caravan I would have. The floor had the plastic bit from ladies swimming suit, wrist bands from where previous visitors had been and not put is the bin, just dirt on the floor and given that this had been closed from Thursday night surely it should have been cleaned by someone to a high standard!!!’ I went to reception to complain and got told they would speak to lifeguard about cleaning which I didn’t bother booking pool again as that put us off and we got asked to take our shoes off at the door my shoes were cleaner having walked outside that what the pool side was!! Very disappointing I’m a swimming instructor and have visited a lot of pools and I have never seen a poolside and changing rooms so dirty hopefully when I said to reception they done something about this as it’s a real shame the reason we booked the site was because of having a pool to use as we would normally try and use daily.

We stayed as part of a newspaper promotion. Arriving later on Friday night we collected our keys from the pub and had a nice welcome. Our caravan was lovely, clean, heated up super quick with the heating boost and had a lovely hot shower. We were given a 3 bed when we booked 2 which was a nice bonus. It was modern, well equipped and had everything we needed. Yes the beds had plastic on the mattresses but it didn’t stop us getting a good nights sleep. We booked the swimming pool which for teenagers was a little small (more for smaller children or babies) but it was nice to have the option. The park felt safe and secure and we were in the new part at the end of the park which was lovely and peaceful. We travelled to Skipton and settle, did the Ingleborough trail, visited some lovely cafes and had a lovely chilled out weekend. The only issue we had was after a long afternoon walking we popped in the pub to grab tea and was told there was no food being served as there was an owners party on in the pub. Not a problem for us as we drove back into settle for a Chinese (15-20 mins) but for someone without a car this could’ve been a problem as there’s nothing else and it wasn’t mentioned when we called into reception that morning. The countryside around the park is stunning. We found it a great base for getting to see the area.

Excellent base for exploring local area. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Maintenance staff prompt to fix issue. Caravan well equipped, clean, comfortable and warm. Did not make use of swimming pool but it was available. Pub serving limited menu due to time of year.

I recently stayed here with my wife our two young kids and my in-laws and we had a great time The park is in a lovely setting and the atmosphere was really welcoming A big shoutout to Mark for quickly sorting a few issues we had on Forrest Beck really helpful Also a special mention to Ella at reception who went out of her way to hoover our caravan which was much appreciated. We arrived early on check-in day but were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome The pub was a great place to relax while we waited and the kids had plenty to keep them entertained Overall a brilliant break and we’d definitely come back.

The staff was pleasant on arrival the vans are cheap the beds are hard and have plastic mattresses on them we was in the new part the cans round us was let to contract workers which was driving round at all hours woke up one morning there was white sheets blowing around the cleaners had been in just left the dirty sheets at side of vans to be collected that was 11ish came back from a day out at 4pm they was still there new peers should be allowed in there vans at 4pm ours wasn't ready until way after 4 on our arrivel no wonder you have to book for the pool where you are aloud 45 mins then you have to get out weather there is anyone in or not I do get it when the park is full ???? Do not eat in the pub on site it is frozen pub grub we got sausage and mash £25 for 2 instant mash cheap plastic sausage hard peas and instant gravy a small coke cost us £8 for 2 i thought they had brought the wrong dish as it would not have filled a child it was left shame realy as the staff in reseption was lovely in the pub they was rude and no intreast the site and facilities I am afraid 1* there are no activities on site peers with families need to know as you will be very disappointed
