A note from the site themselves...

Pennymoor was opened by our Grandmother in 1935 and was passed down to our parents, who have since passed away. It has always been a huge part of our lives, helping out at the site from a very young age. It is a way of life.

We meet so many lovely families who return year after year. Indeed, we have many visitors whose parents and grandparents visited us many times and now they themselves bring their own children and grandchildren.

We are very proud of the standard of the holiday caravans and the cleanliness of the whole site and the facilities. Every year, we look forward to meeting our regular and new guests.
