Binsey non-electric forest floor tent pitch (two person)
Liked: I joined with four friends for two nights at Overwater Woodlands. Met by our wonderful hosts, Nick and Lois on arrival, who showed us to our three charming pitching spots (I was solo, the others comprised of two couples) with an arrival drink. The pitches (cheerily named after local mountains) were spacious for their purpose, whilst also offering a nice degree of privacy from the neighbouring spots. Facilities such as the compost toilet were easy to find and use, as well as the added bonus of access to the hosts downstairs shower! There is an excellent firepit with plenty of wood to keep warm on those chillier nights, with a vast tarpaulin to protect from the elements. The food offerings are sublime - I could write endlessly but in short, Lois and Nick are fantastic chefs with a real passion for using locally sourced ingredients. Whether it be the delightful breakfast sandwich, or optional lunch/dinner add on - it was all delicious (special mention to the home made bread!). The hosts are knowledgeable about the area and activities, so don't be shy to ask them for suggestions (we ended up doing 'cold water therapy', exhilarating but not for the faint-hearted!). All in all, a wonderful weekend - cosy pitches with stunning views of Skiddaw, fantastic food and amazing hosts. Thank you both and see you again soon!
