What customers say

Glan, áisiúil, cairdiúil. Molann aíonna an suíomh, na háiseanna nua, an siopa beag & an siopa mór bia. Páirceanna móra, clós súgartha. Ceangal Wi-Fi an-mhaith ach d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith noisy. Is mór leo ar fad é agus beidh siad ar ais.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Clean, level pitch with all services. Location good, but if you want to eat out locally you are strongly advised to book ahead.
Well stocked shop and nice coffee shop. All facilities spotlessly clean.

Disliked Non-existent wi-fi, poor tv signal.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for sharing your experience!

It’s great to hear the pitch was clean and well-equipped, and that the shop and coffee spot added a nice touch. Spotlessly clean facilities are always a big plus, and the heads-up about booking local restaurants is super helpful for future visitors.

The lack of Wi-Fi and poor TV signal is definitely a downside—especially if you're hoping to stay connected or unwind in the evenings. As we are in the country side it can be hard to get the perfect reception be we hope this didn't affect your stay to much.

Appreciate the balanced review!

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Great fully serviced pitch
Fish and chip shop was stunning. Very crispy on the fish 🤩🤩

Disliked The shop was pretty much empty if stock, we assumed that is due to time of year???

From the manager: Thank you for your great feedback.

Yes as we come to the end of season we do get loss stock in as there can be a lost of waste unfortunately but we always try and stock the essentials.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We loved picking our own pitch
The toilet and showers were clean .
The outdoor benches were a good touch. The showers were nice and hot.
Great view and plenty of space

Disliked The playground equipment was squeaky and noisy
My parents couldn’t fit under the low showers. We loved the bar area and the lovely gentleman what worked behind the bar .

Graeme W.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely site with lots of pitches. The staff were dead friendly and once checked in it felt like it was ours to enjoy. They even pulled me out when we got stuck in the mud. The facilities were spotless and there was a air of peace and quiet. We left two days early due to the forecast, but that was with a heavy heart. We will go back there when we can. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay a brilliant one.

Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had a great time staying here over the weekend. We arrived after 5pm but had no difficulty in accessing the site and received a welcome pack online so we could find our pitch.

Facilities were always clean and stocked up with things like toilet roll. Having access to the chippy, shop and bar was also a big bonus! The campsite was easy to find and in a great location - 10 minutes to Pooley bridge and Aira force in the car, giving us plenty of places to explore and enjoy.

We would definitely stay here again.

Local attractions

The Lake District doesn’t skimp on swish sights and attractions, and many of the best things to see and do in the national park – from bushcraft and watersports to golf and tennis – are within easy driving distance of the site. For classic Cumbrian walks Hallin Fell is a 20-minute drive away and the market town of Keswick, where you can go from perusing a pencil museum to dancing around the megalithic Castlerigg Stone Circle, is reachable in 25 minutes. A bit south of the town of Penrith (20 minutes) are the prehistoric Mayburgh Henge and Norman Brougham Castle. Other well-known Lake District settlements are also within easy reach along winding roads, like to Windermere (45 minutes away) and Ambleside (50 minutes). And if you fancy a crack at cantering instead of sitting in the car? Horse riding can be had from stables within a 15-minute drive, while guests who prefer roving on a revving vehicle can squat upon a quad bike and set off into the local lands (25 minutes from the park).
