The Willows

Syntes om the site was very good, pitches good, toilets and showers all clean.
Lovely veiws

Syntes ikke om No signs for the site from the road or even as we arrived on site, as there is no reception we were not sure if we were in the right place

Fra bestyreren: Hi Michael

Thank you for your review, we send directions with pictures to assist to show exactly where the site is on the morning of arrival, unfortunately we are not permitted to have road side signage by the Lake District National Park Planning Authority as if we had a sign it would set a precedent for all. We have however just had a new Braithwaite Farm sign erected by the local highways at the end of the road and that has proven to be a big help but I do appreciate if you hadn't read the welcome information and seen the picture step by step guide of where we are it isn't so easy. To help future guests with this we are also on Google Maps and if you type in The Willows Keswick it brings you right to the campsite. It does say on Pitch Up on our site information that we don't have a reception so guests are aware of this when booking as we live just behind the farm buildings we are always just a phone call away. I really appreciate your feedback as it does all really help us and also other guests who I know read both your review and our responses so thank you again.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you both so much for a lovely review and will hopefully see you again soon, Lindsey

Syntes om The location , just a 10 minute drive into keswick, the size of this touring park - not too big , and the electric hook up & water on each pitch made life easy.
The toilets & shower facilities are very modern lovely & clean & there are even toiletries provided - shower gels, soaps etc - the showers were just the right temperature , a lot of thought has gone into making this site comfortable & mostly practical & it is a great base for exploring the area.
Finally the owner / manager lady is very hardworking & friendly and knows the area well useful for ideas on places to visit 😀
We will be back.

Syntes ikke om Only one problem really - the pot washing facilities are 'inside' one of the shower / toilet rooms ( 3 of these in same block) and that means if somebody is using the loo or shower the outer door is locked & you have to wait to wash up.... almost every sight I have stayed on put the 'pot washing ' area outside under a shelter ... 🤔

Fra bestyreren: Hi Mark,

Thanks so much for your review, we are currently working on the pot wash and hopefully come Autumn the middle toilet is being made into a pot wash area and small drying area , but I will see if we can get a make-shift outside sink sorted in the meanwhile. It's the first time anyone has commented on it but if it's something I need to change I definitely will. Thanks again for staying and your feedback is really appreciated as it all helps to make it better, thank you

Syntes om Great pitch, EHU with water, level hard standing, great views and fantastic weather.

Syntes ikke om Though the pitches were a little too close together, felt a little too close for comfort at times.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review Denis, I am sorry you felt you were too close to the other pitches, sometimes inevitably if everyone aims for the same side of the site it can happen, I hope to see you again,

Lindsey

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for your fabulous review and love reading that your birthday was so well enjoyed as they all should be, look forward to welcoming you back soon, Lindsey

Syntes om The friendliest lady who gave directions and was so nice but didn’t tell me who she was, I shall presume and was the owner. The facilities were really clean.

Syntes ikke om The waste looked awkward so I didn’t use it.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Helen,

Sorry that you didnt like the waste area, I have since you stayed added a permanent hosepipe next to the lid you lift up which is light enough to lift with one finger to make it better following another review that mentioned it would be a good idea.

Thanks again for staying

Lindsey

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for taking the time to leave your review Carole, we are really lucky to have the views we do and I love being able to share them with our guests, Lindsey

Syntes om Beautiful views from the pitches, really nice and quiet and a fantastic location just across the road from Braithwaite village. Showers and toilets were kept very clean and each pitch had electricity and water. Really great for the price.
