Liked It is very good value for the area. The views are spectacular. Proximity to Keswick, Braithwaite village and routes to all parts of north and west Cumbria are really good. For hill climbing, it’s a great location. The bathrooms work very well as they are self-contained and lockable so you could use them like a bathroom at home. Electricity and water are on tap at the pitches. The pre-information is clear and directions are very helpful. There is a great deal of trust in payment as we never had face to face contact. I really respect the entrepreneurial spirit, using the land and environment sensitively to combine practicality and income with a drive to develop the area and provide a conduit for sustainable tourism. It is lovely to see the business units, the community centre, the campsite and the livestock in such close proximity. It’s embedding the idea that the countryside is not a romantic painting but a complex multi-reliant organism. Everyone who was camping was very respectful of the expectation to keep dogs on a lead.

Disliked The touring pitches are small and all loose stone based. I have a very small campervan and usually want to erect an awning, which wasn’t possible here. I do not think that is clear from the images and detail on pitch-up. It is more suited to motor homes and particularly those on a one-night stop. If we’d booked for longer, or had lovely weather, we would have struggled having a ‘camping’ experience.

From the manager: Good morning Elizabeth, thank you so much for your feedback it is so important to us and greatly appreciated. We are indeed hard standing and try and make that implicitly clear in our advertisement on pitch up. We have had guests throughout the summer who have pitched awnings and you will have seen those pictures on our pitch up listing no doubt. We arent always around that is absolutely true as a working farm we are often juggling many tasks at once but we are always only a phone call away and live just behind the units, so if for example you had wanted your awning up, we have previously helped people with that having lots of tools to get the pegs into the stone which we absolutely appreciate isnt the easiest. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your review, Lindsey
