Paul S. Apr 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: Showers had very good water pressure and as hot as you would like them. Pitches are large hard standing and grass. Very quiet setting easy access to the North lakes.staff are very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Pitches are not level, not an issue for us as we carry lock and level system for our van. Toilet facilities need a refresh but are very clean. Bar on site is not open very often, when arrive and leave the site watch the grass and stone elongated roundabout if you have a large van or camper it's tighter than you think to maneuver round.

Local attractions

As well as the hiking trails of the Lake District National Park, active options nearby include Bassenthwaite Lakes, 20 minutes’ drive from base, where there are lakeside paths, boat hire and tours and tastings at Lakes Distillery. Derwentwater, half an hour away, has kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing; you could also get out on the water on an Ullswater Steamer at Pooley Bridge (access 40 minutes' drive away at Penrith), cruising by some of the area's highest peaks. Historical highlights are plentiful in the region too: Carlisle Castle and Mirehouse House and Gardens are both within half an hour, Gretna Green is 40 minutes away and the remains of the great Hadrian’s Wall are reachable in about an hour. Try something a little different at the Rheged Discovery Centre, 40 minutes away, where there are cafés, craft shops and a six-storey cinema screen, all in the UK’s largest grass-covered building.
