Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Everything. Facilities were all clean and tidy, flushing toilet, working hot shower. Electrics for charging electronic devices if needed. Great location. WiFi across the camp site was a bonus.
Disliked: The wind was so bad there was a slight problem with curtain for privacy whilst using the shower.

Liked: Clean toilets and showers. Logs and fire pits available to hire and fresh eggs in the morning. Really nice and picturesque. The host was around if you needed anything and nothing was too much trouble.

Liked: Great host, always there if you needed help with anything or for directions to pubs etc. Loved how basic the site was but still had everything you needed. Great showers and well maintained toilets, the surrounding areas were stunning. Will definitely be booking again.
Disliked: The road to the pub is quite a dangerous walk due to people speeding in cars down the lane. It is 20mph but very few adhere. Wouldn’t recommend for anyone with children as you would need to drive to these places if you weren’t taking the hiking paths. This isn’t a dislike on the site though!

Liked: The best campsite in the lakes. Stunning views beautiful grounds and Jonty the owner can't do enough for you. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jonty has sheep in the next field which he said to go say hello to. Our kids lived them ! So tame. Even our dog (kept on lead) was super submissive towards them ... hilarious
Disliked: Nothing 🤷🏻♂️
