Liked: This site is in a lovely quaint village, with stunning scenery surrounding it. What a pleasure it was to start our motorhome adventure here. It's a short walk through the farm to the local pub, which is dog friendly. The facilities on site were good. A nice hot shower, a sink, toilet and a mirror and well stocked with soap and toilet roll etc. We loved that it was a working farm and we got to see the lambs and calves in the shed. The check in process was easy enough and we got an arrival pack which was handy. They offer food on site, which is good to know for the future.

Disliked: No grey water facility.

Local attractions

If you're looking to spend some time by the water, Bassenthwaite Lake (20 minutes' drive) will surely be on your list. This most northerly lake in the national park is very quiet, with few towns and villages around its shores. Head here for walks along the path that runs along the western shore, or stick around to discover the animals on display just to the north of the lake at the Lake District Wildlife Park (20 minutes). It's a short drive to other top attractions too, the likes of which include historic Dalemain House (20 minutes), the Lakes Distillery (20 minutes), mountain peaks like Helvellyn (30 minutes) or Skiddaw (35 minutes) and the far-famed Derwent Pencil Museum, where you can learn all about graphite. Birdoswald Roman Fort, part of Hadrian’s Wall, can be reached by road in 50 minutes as well. Cumbrian life isn't all about the fells and lakes, though: you can take yourself off to Carlisle (30 minutes) for a more urban day out at the castle, cathedral and Tullie House museum, or you could get to Cumbria's gorgeous coastline in about 35 minutes for days out on the sand.
