Liked: Peaceful little site with great views. Conveniently located near Beacon Fell country park and shops in the nearby villages. Owners were very friendly and made sure we were settled in.
Disliked: No showers so I wouldn't stay more than a long weekend but this is clearly advertised on the listing.

From the manager: Hello Interesting feedback, contrasting to our actual discussions though. However, the outdoor open countryside, without onsite clubs, playground or planned activities, is not for everyone. We don't claim to be a large site, that is why we have so few pitches. The land is actually over 2 acres, which we think is large for a small campsite. Your tent was the largest tent this weekend with only a couple of other much smaller units, I'm sorry I didn't realise you were struggling for space. On the several occasions we chatted things through, there was no mention of the detail you make here. Especially when I offered to carry over your friends' stay for another time, who were unable to stay due to illness. As described we are a small, simple quiet, site and with very limited Wifi. In the middle of nowhere, in a 'Dark Skies Area' within an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. All of these features are mentioned in the detail on the Pitchup listing I hope you next camping experienc,e better, suites your needs and you are able to have a more pleasant stay. Thank you for your comments though. Regards Julie and Steve
