Liked: Friendly, helpful staff. Clean showers and toilets. Lovely base location for walkers.
Disliked: The field is very exposed. The poor weather ahead of our arrival made the site very boggy. Best visited during summer season.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Amazing views, facilities were clean and just what you needed. Owners went above and beyond, even got us some fire lighters from the shop! Thanks again, will defo be returning in the summer.
Disliked: Field was especially muddy (we did visit in Feb!) but it doesn’t look muddy when your driving in as the grass is well kept, a warning sign may help those who don’t camp very often. Although owners did get my car unstuck (thank you!)

Liked: Views Friendly farmer
Disliked: People making camp fire at side of my motorhome that I worked hard for. If you leave your pitch it will be taken on your return in a motorhome.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Sorry for the issue regarding the camp fire. If you had made us aware we could have dealt with this for you. We do not allocate pitches but people normally put something on their pitch to identify that it is in use. Again we could have dealt with this for you if you had made us aware.

From the manager: Sorry about the issue with the toilet roll! I don't really know how that has been overlooked but it shouldn't have! We are only a little site so don't have a reception as such but we do try to greet everyone when able. We are pleased you appreciated the views.

Liked: Travelling in a vintage VW with my son. One night stay for a University of Cumbria open day. Nice flat site, easy electric hook up and water was available too. Beautiful scenery. Geese flying over in the morning as they headed south. Unbelievable views towards the mountains of the north of the Lake District. Showers spotless as well as loos.
Disliked: Nothing - all was excellent
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for the lovely feedback, we hope your son had an amazing graduation.
