Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: Amazing views of the Lake District from where I pitched up the tent alone! Moreover, Rydal Water and Rydal cave were an easy walk from the campsite (~20 minutes). There was a bus stop only five minutes, if that, from the camp site, so getting to nearby towns was no problem at all. The toilets were very clean and easy to access. The staff were very friendly and helpful with regards to setting up my tent and the booking.

Eco camping pod

Disliked: Unlit route from pod to the toilet area in the night. Road very uneven to get to the pods. Staffmember repeatedly got name wrong despite telling them clearly 4 times on check in.

Liked: Very friendly staff. The location was perfect for walks and the villages Ambleside and Grasmere. The setting was beautiful. Lovely gardens. I liked the privacy of the campsite. The field was hilly which really added to the great outdoors feel. Use of sockets in the shower block was great. Clean and warm showers.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!
