Peaceful site

No signal at all
WiFi wasn’t great
Could not pick up any tv channels
Wouldn’t recommend taking children

Great location, ideal for hiking situated right near some great walks, with plenty more only a short drive away. Local pub next to the campsite serves great food too. Friendly staff, Andy in particular was very helpful with excellent local knowledge of the area and made sure we had a great weekend with some great suggestions on places to go.

Arrived at the site late due to a blow out on the m/way (about 45 min after 1830hrs). Tried to phone the site but apparently both numbers given on Pitchup go to the owner who doesn’t live onsite but neither number was answered anyway. The warden, who does live on site, was unperturbed at our late arrival and allowed us to pick what pitch we wanted. The site was nearly empty. We picked pitch 7 which was a stroke of luck as this faced onto the Bridge Inn on the other side of the river enabling us to connect to their WiFi. During our weeks stay we were unable to connect to the sites WiFi which we found to be hopeless.
The Bridge Inn was a pretty soulless pub which matched the woman serving behind the bar. The only thing I will remember of this establishment is the prices. They charge like the Light Brigade.
The site itself is well kept with the tourer pitches, which are fully serviced, being the best part of it. The Gents toilet block was pretty modern with underground heating consisting of 2 wc’s and 2 showers which cost 50p per shower. Not a lot of money but at £35 per night site fees they should be free. The Ladies toilet is in a separate building with the same set up.
There is a laundry room with both washing machine and tumble drier. Both take £1 coins. We used the machines once, both at £1 for 20 min.
There are numerous walks of all levels that can be started directly from the site.
For shopping there is a general store in Gosforth 3 miles away. The garage across the road from this were very friendly too and had ordered a new tyre for me which fitted took them 4 hours. Great service.
The site directions given by the site I would say are for people travelling from the south. If coming from the north it is much better to leave the M6 at junction 44 and follow the A689 then A595 until you see the sign for Santon Bridge.
All in all the Old Post Office site is a pleasure to stay in with one of the friendliest wardens who has great local knowledge.

Quiet spot, peaceful setting in beautiful surroundings. Sea shore (Drigg and Seascale)within approx. 15 minutes drive from the camp site. Also Wast Water, very beautiful.
Owner/manager very friendly and helpful. Facilities clean. Looking forward to returning later in the year.

Very friendly and helpful welcome from Andy. Lovely site next to river and very handy pub next door that welcomed muddy boots and muddy paws 😄🐾. Craft shop and cafe just up the road and a lovely walk, next to the river, through the fields leading to village. Views at the lake fantastic!

Was a little difficult to get anywhere without transport as roads very narrow and no footpaths. Site looked like it could do with a little sprucing up, as looking a little tired. This could be because it was March of course.

Peacefull quite site.Pub and tea rooms close by, river alongside.

TV reception and Wifi at bit iffy.

When we arrived the site manager Andy was very welcoming and helpful which made is a lot easier to settle in. The toilet and shower block was very clean and warm with under floor heating . 50p for a nice warm shower which I found a bargain , WiFi was really good outside of the van. Amazing site and will definitely be back at some point this year.

Quiet, peaceful location. No one over-looked anyone else. The owner was super helpful on arrival and apologetic one of the hot water taps wasn’t working. A stones throw from the Bridge Inn pub which served amazing food, we ate there twice.

Nothing to dislike. We will certainly be returning.

Nice little basic camp site. The Bridge pub, just a short walk over the bridge, was excellent, great food, nice place, good beer. The site is well kept, very quiet when we were there ( early Feb). Great location, would be nice in the Summer. Struggled to find a decent dog walk locally, plenty if you drive out.
Would go again, just to visit the Pub ;o)
