Thornbrook Barn Reviews

Amazing stay

We stayed at Thornbrook Barn for 2 nights this week and absolutely loved the place. It is pristine throughout and in beautiful surroundings. We had pitch 41, which looked out onto the grassed area at the side of the lodges with sheep grazing in the next field. Just so idealistic. The owners should be so pleased of the quality they have achieved at Thornbrook Barn and it will certainly be getting another visit from us this summer. Everything is to hand. You can even borrow DVD's from the information room to watch if you wish. Such a great idea. There's even a dog exercising field for your furbaby to have a run in too. The toilet and shower block are spotless and are cleaned everyday regardless. An absolutely amazing place and highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Wow! Thank you for your most delightful review. Spring is a great time to visit Thornbrook Barn when you can see the sheep and lambs in the adjacent fields and enjoy the trees coming in to leaf and the blossom on the wild cherry trees that surround the site. We really appreciate you taking the time to write the review and we look forward to having you stay with us again later in the season. Sandra & Alan

WOW - we will definitely be returning!

This was our first visit to Thornbrook Barn. The site is very spacious, the facilities are modern and spotlessly clean. We stayed on a fully serviced pitch, which was very spacious with fantastic views over Ingleborough. It is central for visiting Malham, Ingleton, Kirby Lonsdale, Hawes and many more picturesque villages and towns with numerous different walks, including the three peaks. Our battery went flat on us, but Alan let us use his charger, which was a godsend, especially over the Christmas/New Year period. The booking process was so easy and Sandra kept us updated on progress. Everyone on site was very friendly with attentive owners and staff. We cannot wait to visit again and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the 5* ratings and for your lovely comments. We are pleased that Alan could assist you during your stay with your leisure battery. Looking forward to having you stay with us in some better weather. Sandra

Perfect site

We have just come back from this lovely campsite. Words cannot describe how lovely this site is. First time visit and most definitely not the last. No check in, you receive pitch number through email (we were on pitch 41). Pitches big and amenities block lovely and clean with piped music. Really quiet and peaceful, lovely views and nice walk to the village. Harvest Country Store over the road from the entrance is fab. It has a gift shop, coffee shop and butchers and bread etc and wasn't hard to cross the road. Hopefully be back next year.

A belated Happy Anniversary, Marina. Thank you for your kind words and we are so pleased you enjoyed your special break in Fleece Fold. Best wishes, Sandra & Alan.

Wonderful site

Wonderful site to stay on. Close to Ingleton and Country Harvest store, both within easy walking distance. Very clean toilet/shower block and well maintained surroundings. Very large pitches with electric hook up, fresh water and waste water facility on the fully serviced pitches. Caters for caravans and motorhomes/ campervans too. Very enjoyable stay so we would recommend to stay here and we will be back.

Thank you Mark for such a lovely review following your stay over here this week. We look forward to having you stay here in the future. Sandra

Superb site

Excellent site in a fantastic location for exploring many local towns and especially well located for access to the Ingleton Waterfall Walk, which is spectacular. Settle, Skipton and Kirkby Lonsdale all accessible by nearby hail and ride bus. Campsite itself is one of the best we've stayed on with immaculately maintained pitches and facilities. Had a nice chat with the owner who was very helpful with advice on the local area. Will definitely return.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to write such a fabulous review. Glad the weather improved for your stay and wishing you both many more happy travels in your new campervan. Sandra.

This campsite exceeded our expectations!

Beautifully laid out and maintained. The ablutions were fantastic and all the local information was available in a small info room. An exercise area for dogs, what a brilliant idea! The location was beautiful! Everything about Thornbrook Barn was brilliant. The no nonsense arrival and departure, lovely spacious camp sites, spotlessly clean and very modern ablutions, amazing location and easy to walk everywhere. The dog area was brilliant and all the dogs enjoyed the tantalising smells! We thought this was a first class site, we would certainly come again and will definitely recommend Thornbrook to friends. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into the planning of this lovely campsite!

Wow! Thank you Elaine for taking the time to write such a lovely review. This really has made our day! We really appreciate all your kind words and hope to have you stay here in the future. Sandra & Alan

Excellent facilities

Beautiful site with lovely big pitches. Nice clean facilities. Definitely will be returning, one of the nicest sites we have been on.

Thank you for the lovely review Peter. It was good chatting with you on the site yesterday. Look forward to having you both stay with us again for more 'Top Gear driving moments' in the Dales...will you do the Dent drive again?!! Sandra & Alan

A lovely, dog friendly site that is maintained and presented to a high standard

This site is exceptionally well presented with large pitches that offer a good degree of privacy. The shower and toilet facilities are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard. Within walking distance is the Marton Arms, where we had a really good evening meal. We walked the Waterfall walk and were lucky enough to have perfect weather allowing us to take in some lovely scenery. We will certainly book again and would recommend it to others without hesitation. I would add that the site is very quiet and is suited to people who are looking for a quiet and restful stay. Also lots of dogs around taking advantage of an enclosed dog exercise area.

Site's response

We appreciate your lovely review and 5* rating and are pleased that you will recommend to others (word of mouth advertising is the best!). So glad too that the weather was good for your walk on the Waterfalls Trail, just a short walk from our site entrance, as it is really fabulous on a nice day.

An excellent site and the perfect location for visiting the area

This is an excellent base for visiting all that the area around Ingleton has to offer. The site is immaculate with serviced pitches, excellent (and modern) facilities and easy access from A65 (but far away from the main road to not hear the traffic). Ingleton Falls walk is a 20 minute walk away. Communication with the site was excellent - we were emailed our pitch number before we arrived so could go straight to our pitch. We highly recommend Thornbrook Barn and will certainly return.

Perfect

Only stayed one night on our way up to the Inner Hebrides. Beautiful, peaceful campsite, very large pitches, very well thought out and managed. Would absolutely recommend this site and we will definitely use this site again.

Thank you for your lovely review following your over night stay here. Hope you have a lovely time in the Inner Hebrides. Sandra

Great stay

We had a two night stay at Thornbrook in our campervan. Pitches were well spaced and a good size, we’d planned to bring our awning but didn’t in the end but would have had plenty of space to pitch it. Toilets and showers were very clean and warm. We walked the mile to the Ingleton Falls trial which was a fantastic day out, followed by a lovely pub meal in ingleton as reward for our efforts. Called at the Country Harvest farm shop and cafe just down the road from the site, for breakfast supplies and used the site’s discount card (found in the information room in the toilet block) Would recommended and would book again.

Many thanks for your lovely detailed review - glad you enjoyed our location for the famous Waterfalls Trail and one of the local pubs. We look forward to having you visit again in the future. Sandra & Alan

Birthday stay

Great site, stayed here before. Good facilities and even the nice surprise in toilet block - heated floor in shower. Had a couple of issues, we didn't receive our email just before visiting with our pitch number. Had to ring up and it sent straight away. Also on arrival, the gate didn't recognise our number plate so had to ring again. Lady was very apologetic and sorted issues. Glad they answered as it could have been a different experience. But would recommend site, especially visiting the Falls.

Highly recommended

Would have given 5* right through. Only fault, although very minor, was toilet paper only 2 sheets big, but soon got wise and took my own. Otherwise, faultless.

Thank you for the positive review and for staying at Thornbrook Barn during the last couple of weeks of April. Sandra & Alan

Another amazing stay

This is the second time we have stayed at this site. Well laid out and ample size pitches. Needed to speak to them on two occasions, both calls answered straight away and the reason for the calls dealt with immediately. Friendly, helpful and absolutely spotlessly clean

Many thanks for your lovely review, so pleased to receive great feedback at the start of the 2024 season. Sandra.

Superb campsite and facilities

Just returned from a fantastic 2 night stay at Thornbrook Barn campsite. The pitches are a great size with hedges in between for privacy. The toilet block was spotless clean with underfloor heating and music playing! The enclosed dog exercise field is great; to have a safe and enclosed area where our dogs could run to their hearts content was fantastic. We will definitely be back, as there has so much more to be explored in the area.

Site's response

Wow, what a fantastic review, thank you very much for taking the time to post the review and the 5* rating. Glad your dogs enjoyed their stay as much you did! Hopefully on your return visit the weather will be drier and sunnier too. Kind Regards, Sandra.

Relaxing holiday

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Thornbrook Barn. From entering the site, we knew we had chosen well. Everywhere on the site was nipping clean. Penrith, Kendal and The Lakes are nearby for a day out.

Many thanks Ruth for your kind words and rating. We hope to have you stay with us again in the future. Ella.

3 night stay

This is a lovely park - clean, tidy and well maintained. The farm shop over the road is great and does the best Cumberland scotch eggs I've ever tasted. Also, the pub round the corner does really tasty food - I thoroughly recommend the beef shin and ale suet pudding and the crème brûlée. The ride across Buttertubs Pass is incredible as you make your way up to Tan Hill to the highest pub in England. its well worth the trip. We will definitely be returning x
