Liked: The only section you don't have is travelling with Father or mother and child so I picked Family and young children. This was mine and Astons first ever camping night and it's hard to say anything negative 🙏
The service was outstanding if not a bit too trustworthy! David was above and beyond any service I've had in expensive hotels and even though an Arsenal fan he knew about football, which I didn't expect from a farmer who works silly hours a day 🤣
The Site was perfect for us, cosy and relaxing with views that made us feel in the heart of the Lune, the River was amazing and we fully sat in it for a good 20 mins, as cold as it was I know the health benefits and Aston joined in, and the food from the local farm was the best chicken I've ever cooked so all in all I'll give it a 9.9/10. Minus .1 for the 3 times I had to reverse down the road for 2 cars the tractors 😛 All part of the fun but nothing is perfect so 9.9 it is. We will be back 99.9%...because nothing in life is guaranteed 💜💙 UTV.

Liked: The simplicity of the site and much more quiet than the nearby Lake District. The river was lovely.
Disliked: The grass a little bit too long for children to play. A little expensive at £25 per night with minimal facilities.

Liked: It’s amazing view, the river is stunning and the location is quite.
On our first day we were lucky to have meet a pony name Lucky, ended was lucky day for the girls! Big thank you to Lucky’s owner who stop and let the girl’s pet Lucky.
Apart from a breathtaking view, on our second day we saw a steam train🚂 passing by and the girls were so excited.
Disliked: The downside of it is that no shower facilities but we are aware of this and we brought our own camping shower.
