What customers say
This site is a peaceful getaway with amazing views, near Windermere and Coniston Water. Pods and facilities are praised for cleanliness. Tony, the owner, is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Kids love the football field and games barn. Cozy pods have handy amenities. Seeing Highland cattle is a bonus. Return visits are common due to location, views, and owner's hospitality.

Camping pod (five person)
Liked Weve had an absolute blast!!! Tony was such an excellent host!! Nothing is too much trouble and he chatted to everyone and even chatted with the kids about the chickens, sheep and the highland cow and her tiny baby!!! He let them hold the chickens as they were pottering about which was such a lovely thing! The pods are absolutely gleaming clean aswell as all the facilities- toilets/ showers etc.... not a spec of dust even on a farm! We have come straight home to tell all our friends and were already planning our return.

A great site, with a few tweaks it could be even better..

Liked Location, Pod, size, the quietness.
Disliked Showers could be better, TV didn’t work, limited washing facilities due to maintenance needed.
Pods could do with having a bin in them, as the recycling facilities are excellent.

Liked Views and proximity to Windermere and Coniston Water. Microwave and kettle helpful. Mattresses in place. You don’t need to take much stuff. Kids enjoyed football field, table tennis and table football.
Disliked The lodges need painting outside, but they’re warm and dry inside, so who cares really.
