Liked: The nature on the site, all facilities kept nice, clean and tidy. Loved waking up to the gentle noise of the river. Easy access to great hikes around area.
Disliked: Only thing was that there was no service, however from our experience it’s nice to be cut off from network.

From the manager: Thank you Rose for your kind review. We have to agree, the gentle noise of the river is very relaxing and a lovely sound to wake up to. We definitely love that their is no signal on the campsite, it really lets people escape the world they come from to get away from it all and get back to nature. Luckily a new pub in the village has opened where you can access WIFI if needed, but we love to see nobody walking round with a phone in front of them and just being themselves, before technology took over :)

Liked: All was great for what we needed. But I would mention a few things, not in a negative way, but just to be clearer. - a lot of the van available pitches are not flat. - we were explicitly told 5m was the maximum size and paid a decent amount for our awning only to be greeted by a medium wheelbase sprinter way over 5 meters & parked in an area that was coned off. - No hot water for washing up or washing hands in bathrooms. That was hard to deal with washing up with ice cold fingers. - not completely clear if the water is drinking water, we gathered as there was no sign saying ‘not drinking water’. - the sign off the road is very small, hard to see in the dark. The stay was lovely. The area is wonderful, great access to everything, lovely to be by the river.. everything was very clean and all facilities were super clean. Lovely surroundings.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay overall. We did have a van appear that was larger than expected, and it does say a 5m maximum length on the campervan limit. We are working so hard to find some body to connect our hot water to a solar system. We've spent a lot of money on getting hot water down to the off grid site and we hope to have it all connected soon. The water is drinking water, your correct, if it wasn't drinking water, we would definitely have signs saying, however Dan does tell everyone when he goes round, just to make sure people know. We are currently getting new signs made for the roadside. We really hope to welcome you back in the future. Seatoller Farm Campsite

Liked: Lovely location and great facilities. Even though it rained pretty heavily for the first day of our stay we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Close to some lovely fell walks, the pizza night on Saturday was a highlight. Sun came out just in time to enjoy an amazing pizza and cold beer in the sun. Also the showers were excellent. Super refreshing, hot water and spacious unlike a lot of campsite showers. Exactly what we needed after getting drenched on a hike.
Disliked: The rain. Obviously can't be helped but some of the site did become very boggy.

Liked: Loved the farm shop and the pizzas on the Saturday. Good sight with the basics you need. Nice to have pitches but the river as I live the sound of the water. Great view from the pitch buy the stone wall. Very quiet area nothing bothered us.
Disliked: If you want to have a fire make sure you bring your own fire pitch as we had to go out and buy one as they are not provided but fire must be kept off the floor. We found on in a store in Keswick and was perfect.

From the manager: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay on our campsite, and enjoyed your pizzas and used our shop. I will try add the info about the fire pit on to pitch up so future campers know. We hope to see you back in the near future. Seatoller Farm Campsite
