Liked The view and location are beautiful.

Disliked I emailed this almost word for word to the venue 5 days ago, but didn't receive any response: _____________________ We elected to stay here with our children as it was highlighted as 'family friendly', but sadly the site located to the back of us and within earshot really wasn't. On the first night we heard obnoxious drunken youths swearing and playing music until 1am (the guy beside us left in the early hours of the morning as he'd had enough). I contacted The Brackenrigg Inn via email and was told 'We will mention to the owners of the site and that campsite is only open on the weekend so tonight should be much quieter'. The second night was worse, but until 2am this time, when someone over there reached breaking point and kicked the youths tent down. We then heard one of the youths shouting 'f*****g c**t' repeatedly, so in addition to having very little sleep, our children also had a vocabulary lesson on their very first camping trip. This wasn't limited to ourselves, the whole site heard it all, and while I appreciate it was the weekend of Kendal Calling, the 'family camping' banner, along with the feel good images, didn't really match up. We ended up cutting our trip short by a day as our bodies and minds had had enough by then; I can only hope this was a case of wrong place, wrong time, though to be fair this behaviour wouldn't be tolerated at many sites and has a negative effect on the business of both sites. As a side note our tent was absolutely swarming with flying ants, to the point where I actually thought it was raining outside, until I stepped out and witnessed hundreds of them mating on my roof! 🤣 It felt pretty appropriate given the rest of the experience.
