Orchard electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Site facilities were great. Washing up area with a small fridge if needed.
Toilets and showers very clean.
Pitch size was great and we liked the fact it was private with the trees around the pitch.
Disliked: When we were on the site there were initially 3 other tents all couples so it was peaceful and quiet.
A family arrived and were put in the pitch next to us. Unfortunately their child was not quiet and kept us awake late at night and from 7am the next morning. Better placing of tents if people have kids and others don’t would be helpful.

Liked: This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay, the views are the best we've had anywhere we've stayed, the facilities are spotless and the welcome is lovely. The pitch sizes are huge too.
Disliked: A bit on the expensive side compared to many sites but worth it for the views in our opinion.

Paddock electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: We were given pitch 10- the site was level and had gorgeous views of mountains and Lake Bassenthwaite.
There was ample space between other pitches and a fire pit was provided which was welcome for the late summer chilly evenings.
The facilities were spotless and staff were very welcoming and helpful.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Beautiful site, lovely friendly family running the site amongst their farm, perfect location, very quiet, the onsite facilities were brilliant (especially the hot tub), also lots of activities to choose from, clean and warm toilets and showers (with lovely hot water), covered washing station, sleeping next to fields of sheep and goats, and waking up to chickens at the pitch was brilliant. I couldn’t recommend this site more, we’ll be back again next year
