Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for your review, there is a track across our farm land that will take you into the village. You would have been sent details in your welcome pack :) hopefully you know for next time 😃

Positiv Set tent up overlooking fields, great views. Very quiet which we enjoy. Kept spotless. Great communication including a group chat to get any help or ask questions.

Negativ Could do with shelf in toilet block for toiletery bag

Vom Platzbetreiber: That is a great idea, I will get that added. So pleased you enjoyed your stay 😃

Positiv Location - peaceful, fabulous open views over rolling countryside and the lake district in the distance.
Neighbours: Lovely cows and their cute little ones.
Facilities: as described, and all clean and well equipped with basic necessities.
Pitching: flat

Negativ Noise of mower at 9 am.
Stench of chemical waste being pumped out at 9.15 am = affecting all campers passing by to use the kitchen bins/ sink/ loos ... Really thoughtless to start the maintenance jobs before 10 am: campers are asked to vacate the site at 10 am, so ought to be allowed to enjoy the peace and tranquility ( and pure air!) they have paid for until then.

Positiv Location in field with farm animals on all four sides what’s to dislike. Shower block is ok clean and tidy.

Positiv Toilets basic but clean

Negativ Stayed on the camper pitch with hot tub ....this pitch feels like an after thought. On arrival we were given 1 basket of logs which is just about enough to heat the tub up . If you want more logs there £10 per basket, I've stay on other sites with hot tubs and never paid extra for logs all in with the pitch fee. You only find out there are extra charges after paying on pitch up . Some extras are over the top £30 to have the hot tub on for when you arrive, the most I've paid is £10 . When you get out of the hot tub you are straight on to gravel would have been nice to have a bit of decking there .under the steps to get into the hot tub is a standard extension lead .... not good near water !
On pitch up it says there is a fire pit and picnic bench at the pitch it's not really at the pitch as its on a field next to the pitch with a fence round .
I know this is a farm but the flies were awful
We booked for 2 nights but only stayed the one .

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for you review.
Our pricing is competitive with other such pitches in the area and once the hot tub is hot, it holds its heat for at least 24 hours.
The field you mention is actually the enclosed garden that comes with the hot tub pitch and all this is clearly shown in the pictures on Pitchup. Other guests have loved having this space.
I don't think the flies have anything to do with it being a farm and more to do with the time of year.
I emailed you to see if you were ok as we noticed you hadn't returned, yet you chose not to raise any of this. I am sorry the privacy, huge amount of space and beautiful scenery were not for you whilst you sat in the hot tub.

Positiv A quiet, rural setting that offered a real escape from the hustle and bustle.

Surrounded by open fields with stunning countryside scenery, perfect for unwinding.

Welcoming and helpful without being intrusive.

Clean facilities and tidy pitches; it’s clear the place is looked after with care.

Handy base for visiting the Lake District or nearby towns like Carlisle.

Negativ Slightly more signage on arrival would make it easier to find.

Some minor improvements to amenities
