Thornbrook Barn is easily accessible from the A65 yet enjoys a tranquil rural location, right on the border of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It's a warm and friendly site with all hardstanding electric pitches, some of which are full serviced. For glamping, there are three luxury ensuite glamping cabins each with a hot tub. The famous Waterfalls Trail at Ingleton is just a 15 minute walk away, along with the charming village of Ingleton.

Great facilities and very well maintained. Bit too manicured for us as prefer the more natural plus would have been nice to have been welcomed by owners.

Thank you for the lovely review, we are glad your found great facilities and it was clean. Sorry that you found Thornbrook Barn was too manicured for you, we are also sorry we didn't get to meet you during your two night stay, we are often about on site. So many of our guests prefer the contactless check-in and find it effortless and relaxing. Even though we did not meet with you, we appreciate and value your custom. Regards, Sandra & Alan.

Fabulous campsite. We were impressed with how smart and clean the campsite is. The shower and toilet block is immaculate, the best we have experienced. Everything was easy to locate, from fresh water, recycling and even the walk to Ingleton and the local pub was clearly signposted. The use of ANPR provided an extra level of security. Ingleton was an easy 20 minute walk away, and opposite the entrance is a cafe/food hall, so it is really well situated. We only stayed for the weekend, but by the time we left we felt as if we'd been on a longer holiday, our batteries recharged and lovely memories made. Thank you!

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

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.

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, though 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 a 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 recommend and would book again.

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.

Thank you for making a return visit to Thornbrook Barn and glad you enjoyed the location for accessing the Waterfalls Trail. Sorry there were problems with the barrier reading your number plate, as you are aware we have only had it installed since March. If we are about on the site, we have the site telephone diverted to our mobile number so that guests can contact us 24/7. We can also open the barrier remotely from our mobile too. Glad you enjoyed your birthday weekend! Sandra.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Exceptionally well designed campsite, with large segregated pitches. We had a serviced pitch near the immaculate toilet block - don't think I've been in cleaner! Good location and very quiet (although at times you can hear the traffic on the A65); short walk to nearest pub and Ingleton is less than a mile. It felt a little odd not to have any human contact, either with the booking or on site, but it all worked very efficiently. Is remote online service the future? Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, despite the atrocious weather. Observations (not criticisms). It would be helpful to have a direction signboard off the A65. Chemical toilet disposal point took some finding (expected it to be located with the toilet block). Wi-Fi and TV reception were very hit and miss - probably due to the very stormy weather. Thought at £40 a night, it was a little expensive, but that said, it was Xmas.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to post the review - glad you enjoyed your stay and our lovely location, despite the terrible weather. Some pitches/units do have problems with the TV reception in that area, but we felt it better allocating you a pitch down in the sheltered area and a bit closer to the facility, due to the weather conditions. Sorry you found us a bit expensive - as you say, it was the festive period and the electric usage during this time is very high. Other sites serviced pitches are nearly £50 p/n during this time. Our rates for the main season start at £31 p/n for a standard pitch and £34 p/n for a serviced pitch for 2024 with EHU, facilities and Wi-Fi included and no charge for awnings. We are looking at applying for a council sign off the A65 from Settle direction - there is one from the Kirkby Lonsdale direction. Last time we contacted the council, it was over £600 for one sign! We hope that the detailed email with the directions on and site map helped for your stay. Many thanks, and so wish that the weather had been better for you Richard. Sandra.

The facilities are first class with smooth radio playing as soon as you enter the shower block. Everything was clean and a very good standard. The only downer was that it took a long time for the hot water to come through. The site was spacious and when we stayed quiet.

Thank you for the great review - pleased you enjoyed your stop over here. Sorry that the hot water took some time to come through; this was being due to the site being quiet and there were not many guests using the facilities on the night you stayed. Regards, Sandra.

Great site, with good communication from the outset. Pitches are all good sizes and the toilet facilities were always clean. The dedicate dog park is handy. Close to a fantastic pub and farm shop/cafe, and walking distance to the local village.
