Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review!

I Just wanted to highlight a few of your dislikes.

Staff are on site daily to assist customers, If you are a late arrival, you are advised at the earliest opportunity to contact the site to inform them of this. in this case a member of staff contacted you, and was told that you would be a late arrival, so he informed you where your paperwork and pitch number would be left on arrival.

I Can only apologise for the electric tripping, Unfortunately on occasion the electric does Trip, depending on what customers have plugged in, If you need to get hold of a member of staff out of hours, it is advisable to call the out of hours number rather than text, text messages quite often are not received or heard, by the time your text message was received the problem had already been rectified.

We are sorry to hear you were having difficulties with the showers, you had reported both of them not working to myself at 08.30hrs monday morning, they were checked immediately and both found to be working completely fine. After speaking to other customers they haven't had any problems. The showers do not come on automatically, after inserting your 50p you do need to make sure the isolation switch is on and that you have pressed the power button for them to work.

I hope this clears up a few things, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Positiv Welcomed and shown facilities, pitch was great with hard standing and some grass with a picnic table. Showers hot and clean. Lovely location near pub and peaceful.

We are glad to hear you had a great time at The Old Post Office Campsite, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Positiv The location in the West Lakes is superb. 15 minutes from Wasdale but also 15 minutes from the coast. The river running past the site is very beautiful and the Bridge Inn is a great place for a drink.

Negativ Not much. A small site but well looked after. It has all we needed.

Positiv Location and rates excellent. Toilets very nice and clean. Site is perfectly preserved and kept well and clean. Great communication with Marcus and the area is beautiful. Thank you so much!💗

Negativ Would rather have had a free shower and paid for my electricity if I'm asked to pay for something separate but that's just my preference rather than a dislike. But would recommend and stay again.

Glad to hear you had a great stay at The Old Post office Campsite, and had great communication with Marcus.

We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another great stay. :-)

Positiv We liked the that each pitch had plenty of space with half hard standing and half or more grass pitch, and also some backing on to the river Irt. Shower/Toilet are seperate male and female blocks and door is secured with a code. You need 50p for a 10 minute shower which is plenty of time. They are clean and hot water always available . Next to pub 'Bridge Inn' which serves good meals with plenty of choice and there is a small café not far from campsite which is walkable for breakfast 'Woodlands Tea Room' again nice food good choice.
A longer 2-2.5hour walk will get you to Waswater and passing the Sawmill Cafe on the way.

You do not need an alarm clock as the cockerel will wake you up nice and early for breakfast :o) !

We are glad you enjoyed the site and all it had to offer, looks like you took full advantage of some of the lovely cafes nearby. Yes the cockerels are very handy for an alarm clock :-)

We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another great stay.

Positiv We loved this site. So clean and rhe staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a warm welcome when we arrived.
The pitch sizes we very good and it was a nice touch having the picnic benches.

Negativ Just a few little things
My partner had problems with shower 1.
I had problems with the door handle to the loo. I had to push it down really hard on a few occasions.
I think they need extra showers and toilets or separate wash cubicle, so you can have a private wash.
But these are only small things

We are glad to hear you enjoyed the site, I can only apologise for the shower we are fully aware of the problems that keep happening and intend to have it rectified as soon as possible.

All the doors on site are newly fitted and are working absolutely fine They may be just a little stiff with them being new.

We will take onboard your other points and look to improve this in the future.

We look forward to you visiting the site again in the near future.

Positiv The setting was fantastic listening to the sound of the stream. The pitches are generous and good hard standing. The staff are fabulous and very welcoming. Pot wash and facilities are good, 50p for the showers last 10 mins which is plenty enough.
