Almost everything. The lemon drizzle…
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Almost everything. The lemon drizzle cake is the best. I eat too much of this when I’m there. The walks are amazing!
Saw red squirrels and hedgehogs.
Disliked The ladies showers room was cold and the water wasn’t very hot.

Nice campsite
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Friendly welcome and bar staff. Spacious pitch. Nice walk through woodland to Lowther Castle.
Disliked Ladies showers need a bit of an update. Quite chilly in the shower block. Water took a while to come through warm. The showers are timed to 5-10 seconds so makes washing your hair tricky.

Excellent site 100%
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked From entering the site to leaving the site was 100% good
Staff friendly both in reception and the bar. The pitch was spacious, the ground is hard and where you need to put the awning is hard I bent a good few pegs but got there in the end

Clean, tidy beautiful site and all staff were lovely.
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Our second visit in our caravan and it didn’t disappoint, easy to get to and the place is just stunning. We walk to the castle this time we stayed and it beautiful.
Disliked The women’s showers and toilets blocks are freezing, not good if you have little child but my husband said the men’s were heated up so he took our little one for shower in there.

A nice site. Would come again.
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Shower and toilet facilities good, although I didn't manage to get anything more than a warm shower on my first morning. On the second morning, I took a shower in the bath and water was immediately hot.
Nice peaceful surroundings. We saw red squirrels and a tree creeper on site. Penrith easy drive and other interesting places to walk to on foot. Level pitch.
Disliked Nowhere to put soap in the shower. Shop hardly had any useful goods- mostly cakes and biscuits. Pitches just about reasonably distanced apart. Newly installed code on men's block needs light nearby.
