Cute little site
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely little site which is very well kept, large pitches and good waste facilities. A nice pub with great food is a stones throw away.
Disliked No showers & toilet facilities are in the pub, when closed you are on your own.
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review and glad you enjoyed your stay.
We do advertise that we don't have toilets or showers on site.
But you are welcome to use the pub toilets while the pub is open 👍
Happy travles

Very quiet and peaceful
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely clean peaceful site, well maintained and right beside the pub (closed mon & tues) but wasn’t an issue for us. Fresh water, grey & black waste disposal. No toilets or showers available but for us not an issue as self contained. Large level gravel pitches, Self check in as pub closed, nice and easy. Good location just off motorway. Would stay again for sure.
Disliked Nothing
Excellent quiet hide away.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely, clean and quiet location. Had the basics needed for the caravan.
The pub served excellent food and the staff and customers were very welcoming and friendly. Although its a dog friendly site, the pub doesn't allow dogs inside the pub due to its smaller size, but they are welcome in the large beer garden.
The location is close to both Carlisle and Gretna Green, so lots of exploring opportunities.
We will definitely book again.
No toilet available unless the pub was open

Disliked No toilets
From the manager: Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us!!
Thanks to the help of the team at pitch up we are very up-front in the the discription of our site!!
So you have everything you need to make a choice on if our place has the facilities you need!!
We do advertise that we don't have toilets or showers on site!
And that you can use the pub toilets while the pub is open.
We don't believe we can do anymore than be
up-front with you before you read it and book.
As a family owned and ran by myself and my wife we also take great pride in our site and grounds
Keeping the grass manicured the pitches free from weeds the communal areas clean.
Ourselves and our excellent staff try and providing the best customer care without intruding in you stay and always happy to chat and help you find placesto visis or shop etc.
So we are sad you felt the need to score us in this way.
Happy travels Barrie
Ok for a pit stop.

Liked An unexpected find tucked away. Pub was packed and staff were friendly. Site had most of what you need for a brief stop.
Disliked Only toilet facilities are in the pub and no shower facilities. Boy racer with loud music at unearthly time in pub carpark not appreciated.
From the manager: Apologies on the music from the car this isn't the norm but a bit out of our hands.
If it was persistent then we could of done somthing about it.
We do advertise that we don't have toilets or showers on site but you can use the toilets while the pub is open on the pitch up description before you book👍
