Linda M.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Good size pitches, service pitch good.

Disliked Facilities were dated and only 4 toilets and 2 showers for 84 pitches. Better facilities would be a bonus.
Pitches are not level so require levelling blocks for wheels and steadies.
Chemical waste and fresh water was at entrance gate so a good walk if you are at the top of the site. We were on service pitch so only empting the toilet was an issue so we used the car to do

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review
On the date you stayed we had less than 5 guests on site, We do have two shower and toilet blocks which means we have more than enough toilets and showers for when the site is full, Both showers and toilet blocks are in full use when site is busy. We are a small site with 82 pitches. 9 toilets 9 showers are more than the legal requirement for the size of our site.
The site was quiet when you stayed meaning only one of the shower and toilet blocks where open, in this block we have four toilets and three showers.
We have over 12 drinking water taps dotted around site, one of these taps is located by reception, the rest of the taps are very close to all other pitches meaning drinking water is easily accessible for all campers.
The chemical waste point is located by reception which was around 200 metres from the top of site.


Thank you
Rachael

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Tidy pitches and well kept grounds.
The young lady on reception couldn't do enough to help. She was friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond to try and help sort a few issues we had. Toilets were clean, especially the new toilet/shower block.

Disliked Toilet rolls wernt topped up enough especially when the pitches wernt full, we still had to go from toilet to toilet to find loo roll.
No reception opening times on reception door and we had to telephone each time we wanted to see someone as they seemed to be always closed.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback and comments regarding myself.

Toilet rolls are checked regularly unfortunately i cant get into the toilets when people are using them, I refill and check them as regularly as possible. If you had came across toilets without toilet roll, if you had informed me of this i could have rectified it for you straight away.
Reception opening times are informed to you on arrival, on the door it also states its open till 7pm and if no one is in reception to call the number on the door, I have several other jobs to do in and around site meaning reception cant be manned at all times, but i am always available via the phone.

Thank you Rachael

We loved our camping pod , we had everything what we needed -electric, heating, bed with mattress.
All camp area is really nice ,and we highly recommended.
Thank you for welcoming us to your camp and for excellent time we enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review
It is not usual practice for us to extend our last check in time but due to the extreme circumstances you and others encountered when travelling to us i was happy to wait for you to arrive.
There were a large number of people having the same issues when travelling to us that day, meaning that as a courtesy i extended my last check in time to just after 830pm.

I am pleased the pod was perfect for you and you had an amazing time

We look forward to seeing you again in the future

thanks Rachael

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Loved the position of the campsite and our pitch was perfect!
The views of the Lakes were spectacular, and - before it got busy on the weekend - the peacefulness was unparalleled
Toilets and showers clean and well stocked
Having a fire in the pit was the perfect way to end the day
Lovely to have access to fridge and freezer
Rachael works really hard to make sure everyone is happy and the site is well looked after!

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Generous pitch sizes, location, facilities were all absolutely brilliant. Easy access to fresh water. Our son loved the football pitch/goals and seeing the animals in the meadow.

The reception/store was really handy with a good selection of items. The firepits and wood available also great.

Most impressive of all were the really friendly hardworking, helpful and professional staff. Couldn't do enough to ensure a fabulous stay !

Local attractions

Clamber aboard the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (10 minutes’ drive from Shepherds Views Holidays) for a trip through the Lake District under someone else’s steam, then venture to Horse and Husky for horse riding and dog sledding. Making your way to Wast Water lake, 25 minutes from site, is a must too, even if you just stop and soak up the absolutely stunning views – you’ll feel your stress melt away. Active sorts will want to swim on over to West Lakes Adventure, 25 minutes from the site, where they can try canyoning, canoeing, rock climbing, archery, abseiling, raft building, mountain biking and paddleboarding. For a feel of what it must have been like to live that Upstairs Downstairs, Downton Abbey type of life, take a trot around the gardens at the spectacular Muncaster Castle, 10 minutes from Shepherds Views, or trip along to the stately home of Wordsworth House (the childhood home of poet William Wordsworth) where you can poke around the rooms, root around in the gardens and let the kids go wild. Kids still chafing at the bit? Get in the car for an excursion to Jump Mania trampoline park, Lake District Coast Aquarium or Lake District Wildlife Park, all within an hour of site.
