Non-electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Convenient stop on route to Scotland, its basically parking up in the pub car park. Really nice landlord very welcoming, handy having food at the pub. Does what it advertises

Disliked: Toilettes weren't great, but being shared with the pub they were what they were.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: An excellent value campsite, with amazing hospitality. There was loads of covered outdoor spaces with seating, ideal for camping in bad weather. Has a nice, clean, hot shower. The camping area is behind the pub, it is flat, well maintained and has plenty of picnic benches to use. A great place for a quiet stop over on the way to Scotland. Contrary to the listing info on pitch up, the toilets are always open and the key for the shower are available from 6:30am onwards.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Friendly helpful staff.

Disliked: The steps from camping field are unlit, very steep, with no hand rail. It's a case of "when not if" someone falls down them at night (or day) to get to the toilet. High bar prices e.g. £5.75 for a can, yes a can, of Guinness. Best part of £20 for 4 pints of larger.

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked: Loved the site, access to showers and toilet was almost 24hrs and lovely hosts! Turned up just in time for the hilarious Thursday pub quiz.

Disliked: The kitchen closed at 8pm but wasn’t listed on the listed on the website. Luckily I called ahead so knew to stop at services to eat after 6hrs of driving!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Highly recommend and will be staying there again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: As soon as me and my buddy arrived on our bikes the host couldn’t have made us fee any more welcome if he tried. He let us park our bikes outside his garage, showed us around and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The food was also outstanding. I can’t big this place up enough. If you are travelling south to north or north to south, this place should be on your list as a place to break the journey up.

Disliked: The rain, but we don’t blame him personally for that.

Local attractions

If you’re a keen birdwatcher, make the Solway Wetlands Centre at RSPB Campfield Marsh (within 15 minutes’ drive) your first stop for explores of the wildlife-rich wetlands and grasslands. And if you’re more of a hiker or a history fan? Get to the start of Hadrian’s Wall at Bowness-on-Solway (10 minutes) or access it just outside Wigton (five minutes) for walks beside this Roman-era structure. If you fancy making a foray a little further afield, cross the Scottish border to Gretna Green (half an hour) to see the spot where countless illicit marriages have taken place. The Lake District National Park is a little closer by (25 minutes) for jaunts around the fells and tarns; make sure to visit one of the most popular places in the area, Keswick (45 minutes), for especially stunning views. And if you feel like your trip to Cumbria needs some time by the beach? Set off for Silloth (25 minutes) and take a few hours out of your afternoon investigating this typically northern Victorian seaside resort. Backed by the Lake District’s fells and a fave of the artist Turner, it’s known for its spectacular sunsets.
