An incredible spot, helpful staff - just be aware facilities are basic

Aug 2026

Liked The site is in an incredible spot, with the lake on one side and the mountain on the other, just amazing views of the moon on the lake, clouds drifting around. It's a lovely walk to the nearest pub and Coniston is close and has great options. Staff met us and were friendly, did a night-time walk around and when some people were a bit noisy, got them to be quiet which was helpful.

Disliked It's very open about being off-grid so complaining about lack of facilities is not reasonable, but do be prepared for festival-style portaloos. They seemed to be serviced quite often but varied a lot from clean to disgusting. The hill for the last 1/2 mile is really quite something - if you walk back from the pub you need to be fit and able. The main site is on quite a slope so when it rained, people were starting to get stuck - at least it's downhill as you leave so getting out is no problem
