Camping pod
Liked: Pod was great. Heating was really good (too good almost) for this time of year. Very clean. Pub was lovely. Food delicious, kids menu was fab, even got clean plates from Miss Fussy.
Disliked: Not a lot to do in the area. Even when venturing out there seems to be very little to do. Maybe the wrong time of year for this place(?) Only one toilet/shower. Not an issue this time because we were the only people there, but summer time that could be annoying.

Liked: We were greeted and checked in really efficiently by Ben, and the campsite was ideal. Beautiful pitch with EHU, right behind the Lowther Arms. Toilet and shower were immaculate. We ate in the pub, and the food was gorgeous, with generous portions. Our waitress and Ben made us feel so at home. Busy little pub in the middle of a lovely village. Would definitely recommend both the campsite and the pub
