Lovely site, clean facilities and a warm welcome.09/09/2024

  • Liked: 

    The facilities were well appointed and clean. The receptionist was welcoming and gave clear instructions about where to camp. The staff were very helpful.
    The views are lovely and the pitches were a good size. The reception area seemed to be well stocked with essentials which was reassuring.

    Disliked: 

    The first night, our neighbours were noisy and didn’t observe the quiet time but we understand this is difficult to control. Despite clear signage, some visitors chose not to observe the instructions to help keep the washing up and shower facilities clean; again this is outwith the staff’s control.

Views and clean / handy facilities & amenities09/09/2024

  • Liked: 

    The toilet and shower facilities were very good. Always clean and the shower was always nice and hot- perfect temperature.
    Lots of taps for drinking water dotted around the site. There were also two washing up areas which were an added bonus.
    Really liked the idea of the ‘common area’ which inside there were many useful amenities such as a toaster, microwave, kettle and fridge/ freezer for use if needed.
    Along with a sofa / tv area which we did not use but is a lovely space to have.
    The views were what really sold the campsite for us. Would highly recommend.

    The campsite had amazing views over Blencathra, which was wonderful to wake up to. The facilities were very clean and the site was very pretty with twinkly lights around the reception, with excellent amenities i.e. communal room with kettle and microwave. I was very impressed that there was a hairdryer in the ladies toilets/showers. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. There was a great pub just a short walk away which did amazing food. We had a wonderful weekend and we will definitely return.

    Disliked: 

    The toilet block was too small for the size of the site. Not cleaned regularly enough.
    No information given on arrival.
    The noisy dog next door that continually barked. We were told they were leaving the next day when we asked if they could speak to the owner.
    WiFi only in communal room.
    Pitches not level.
    Road noise.

    Toilet facilities were nice and clean, the play area for the kids was handy when going to do the washing up. The communal room was a newn for me, never been on a site that had one let alone to be as nice and lovely as this.
    The ground was good, pegs went in rather easily compared to some other sites I've stayed at, nice and levelt too.
    Location was handy, not too long a drive into Keswick and just a little further down the road to go ape. The views are lovely too. Definitely would recommend.
