Liked: Scenery was beautiful
Disliked: Poor maintenance of the toilet and shower facilities. Also the door to the shower/ toilet area was a bead curtain rather than a solid door making the area cold ( it was wet, cold and windy for June!).
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello, we very much appreciate the feedback, our onsite wardens are usually very on the ball so not sure how to explain the facilities not being up to scratch. I'll take it upon myself to check them more frequently. I do regret to see that you loved our location yet gave it 3/5 stars? From the way the review is laid out it feels very bitter towards us generally, rather than being honest about what you did and didn't like. For example, we cannot help the disappointing June weather, yet you decided this was a way to reflect us as a business. (The beads were put in to stop birds going in, public toilets traditionally have open doors). No mention of our onsite cafe? Ravenglass Ice Cream? The hikes? The customer care of the wardens? The wildlife? Shame to see you leave such a one sided negative review, and a shame you won't be joining us again. Kind regards, Jamie Gillies

Liked: Good size hardstanding pitches. Showers and toilets were clean. On-site cafe was handy too. Beautiful scenery of the mountains 🏔️ and horses around. There is also a stream which runs through the site.
Disliked: There isn’t anything we would say we disliked to be honest. It was quiet and tidy site. No issues. We had booked the site last minute and changed our dates which Jamie was very accommodating.

From the manager: Thank you very much for the sweet words, I was happy that I could amend the booking in time for you, always happy to make adjustments to suit our guests! Hope to see you all again soon!

Liked: Beautiful location and campervan pitch size was plenty big enough for our sprinter and awning. Pot wash area and showers were basic but adequate with loads of hot water
Disliked: Not easy to find an off the lead dog walk and the location was fairly remote which is fine if you are ok driving to your chosen daily activity (we were)

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am glad you found our place spacious and beautiful! We are introducing next year a dog training area (as we struggle to allow dogs off the lead as our surrounding fell area is shared farming rights for livestock) so that there is somewhere for the dogs to be off the lead with all sorts of training toys to use too. We hope you can join us in the peak of busy summer, as that's where our distance comes to it's greatest advantage, never gets as insane here as it does in Coniston or Windermere! Cheers, Jamie

Liked: The views were excellent and there was a very friendly atmosphere. The children on the site were allowed to play on the open spaces and caused no problem at any time, there were no issues regarding this. It was lovely to see children together playing and not on their screens. Pitch was level and good access to water. Fire pits at end of each pitch and owner came round early each evening with bags of logs to purchase.
Disliked: The male toilet facilities were crammed into a small area compared to the female facilities. There was only one urinal for the entire site and two cubicles that were barely big enough to stand up in and had loose toilet seats. The shower cubicles were of a good size but all needed to be re-vamped. Most needed a deep clean, some were rusting and the floors needed replacing. Good amounts of hot water on a push button system.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the kind words, we pride ourselves on being a child friendly site and love the idea that kids can get away from their screens! We appreciate your constructive critiscism on our toilet block, this is the last season where it will be as it is due to it needing a revamp for sometime. We hope to make the toiletet facilities larger and more appropriate for when our site is full. I can also only apologise for the difficulty in reaching us, as we have had the Vodafone/02 network down for the last week, so have struggled to reach our campers via the phone.

Liked: Gorgeous campsite that has everything. Electric hard pitches if that’s what you want or relaxed natural field free pitches. Showers and toilet block one of nicest I’ve seen. Gorgeous scenery in quieter area of lakes, and gorgeous heavy horses surrounding you.
Disliked: Nothing!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for the comment, we appreicate you joining us and are glad you managed to get on the heavy horses whilst you were here. We hope that all our campers can take this opportunity going forward, hope to see you again soon!
