What customers say
Peaceful, well-kept site with lovely woodland and river walks. Staff are friendly, facilities usually clean and spacious, though some are a bit old-fashioned. Bakery and pub are big hits. Families love the play areas and safety. Minor gripes: dated loos, a bit of noise and pitch placement.

Overall great but shower/toilet facilities let’s it down
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked The site was nice, clean and quiet, situated in a beautiful location with gorgeous walks on its doorsteps. Lovely friendly staff too. Red squirrels running around, super cute!
Disliked Toilet block was so old and not very nice, clean but musky smelling, the original 80s look and feel, also took literally ages for the hot water to come on.

A well maintained site but the touring area maybe needs relocating.
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked An impressive and grand tree-lined drive up to the holiday park with fantastic scenery and a stunning bridge.The site was tidy and well maintained, and we were warmly welcomed.. Pleasant walks along the Lowther River nearby. A large holiday park with a modest sized area for motorhomes and caravans, and a separate grass area for tents. Only one toilet block was available at the time of our stay but it was clean and had plenty of hot water for showering, there was even a bath! The pub wasn't open on the day we were there, but apparently doesn't serve food any longer anyway, so no big loss .The bakery was basic, but useful.
Disliked Eight pounds for two small dogs seemed rather excessive. I think it's the first site we've stayed at where we've been charged to have our fur family with us. Trees overhang the motorhome and caravan touring area. It wasn't particularly windy while we were there but the roof was continually being hit by cones and other bits of tree and bird poo from the crows that seem to inhabit the area. It rained lightly in the night and raindrops from branches made sleeping a problem. It's also an area for the RAF to practice low flying, which was thrilling but also meant an unplanned early morning wake-up alarm. Trees overhanging the touring area means we would think twice about returning sadly..we can only imagine how much worse it would be on a windy and rainy night. It is a difficult balance to get right for the park owners but most pitches elsewhere would not have overhanging trees. It's a shame because we were stunned by the beauty of the area and impressed by the site. Maybe we'll stop by another time, but not when wind and rain is forecast..
