We stayed there with some friends for a weekend last November. Unfortunately we were at opposite ends of the site, even though they knew we were "together", dont' know the reason behind that, but never mind.
It is very nice, and they do have a WC/shower/washbasin, but it was NOT heated when we were there, I tried the shower on the first day, but it was freezing (the water was not that hot and when you stepped out of the shower it was really cold), so used the shower in the van instead after that. Cost was £15 per night, which I thought was a bit pricey really, and it is adults only.
In summer they only take bookings for a minimum of a week, in winter they accept weekend bookings.
We went for a really nice walk, left out of the site, right at the end of the lane, then follow the path up, and up, and up....then eventually turned right and right again, and back. Nice views.

I'm a wimp too in that case! The friends we went with had been before, last March I think, and they said that there was one of those heaters on the wall then, but it wasn't there in November!!
The WC/shower/washbasin is in a building which is just brick/breeze-block, not decorated or anything inside, so breeze-block inside too, which does not make for warmth. The shower cubicle has been finished with those panels I think, but it was definitely far from what you would call warm. Therefore, having to use our own shower I thought the £15 was a bit on the pricey side, when you think that some of the CC sites charge less than that at this time of year, and they DO have properly heated toiletblocks.

Must admit that during late autumn, winter and early spring we too tend to stick to the main sites for that reason.
Yes, we have used our own facilities when necessary, we've stayed on CL's with no shower, in which case, fair enough. But as far as I'm concerned, if you offer an all year site, with WC/shower facilities, then they should be heated during the winter months.
Haven't been to Puddle Cottage, but we did stay at Manor House a few years ago: LINK HERE
At that time they were finishing the shower, which did look very good, but when we were there it was not finished, so cannot comment on that. Immaculate site though, again adult only. Not been back as we are not really Blackpool people, but it was somewhere new to try.

Superb CL,our 4th visit here,all are serviced pitches,Adult only.The site is always full when we have been,but we are flexible with our dates(luckily)
Owner very friendly and helpful.They let us use their computer in the house for maps and emails.They informed us about Clitheroe food fair and a local cider producer,we attended the open day and it was great fun.
Now realised that they have WI-Fi on site,so we will be sorted for next time.
Good tv and mobile phone reception.
Toilet block,fresh towels daily, soap, shower gel, toilet paper all provided.Warm and clean.
Quiet location,the grass was all really neatly cut and grass cuttings picked up.The sheep were on the other side of the fence when we were there and they were quiet.I am told when clipping took place in July they were noisy for a night as the lambs cannot find their mothers.
There is so much to do in this area and lots of beautiful villages and lovely walks from the site onto the fells.The 3millstones serves great food.
We did not have a problem with the price,there are no extras for us to pay. we had a car, caravan, awning, own water tap so we could connect our pipe direct into the caravan,and a drain direct to grey waste,that was wonderful.16amp electric, hard standing.no pay meters or tokens for the shower.Our dog was in with the price too.
A well run site with your name on the reception window on arrival so you know where to park.
