Me gustó Quiet site On-site pub (although we didn’t use it) Clean and functional toilets and showers Water and EHU serviced pitches We had been allocated a corner pitch but found it hard to site the van and awning. Without hesitation we were moved to a different pitch Wi-Fi throughout site

No me gustó Undulating field to navigate across to get to pitch (although pitch is flat)

Del administrador: Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are happy to hear you found the site quiet and that the team at the Pub were able to re-site you when you needed to move pitches. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Me gustó Quite not busy. Even if full, low capacity Lovely showers with floor rack and shelves Pitch dividers to aid setting up boundaries Fishing lake (although water level low in summer 2026) Very clean facilities New washing sponges and tea towels provided daily Lovely owner who spoke to us on arrival and on departure

No me gustó Nothing

Del administrador: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re really pleased you enjoyed the peaceful site and facilities. It was lovely meeting you and we hope to welcome you back again soon! 🏕️

Me gustó Location close to the Broads Novelty of the ferry Pub linked to the site, although we did not use this Live music heard from the pub garden which was nice to hear on the site

No me gustó Too few toilets and showers for the size of the site, resulting in having to queue Lack of shelf or rack in the showering area for toiletries Lack of dry rack to stand on when dressing Showers did not appear to have been cleaned in the time we were there (2 nights) as a sticking plaster remained in the cubicle

Me gustó a beautifully set up camping experience. We particularly liked the defined boundaries of each pitch. Sometimes other sites are not as defined and this can cause issue. We also rate a site on its bathroom facilities. It was great to have all necessary amenities in the one room, making it easier. . We didn’t use the bar or cafe facilities but they appeared to be well used and welcoming looking in from the outside.

No me gustó One thought would be to consider the gravel road, particularly on a bend where we were pitched. Banking of the gravel makes for an amplified ‘crunch’ even at 5mph as vehicles round the bend

Del administrador: Thank you for your fantastic 10/10 review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the way our pitches are clearly defined. We know having well-spaced, clearly marked boundaries helps everyone enjoy their own space, so it's great to hear this stood out to you. We're also pleased that you rated our private bathroom facilities so highly. Having the toilet, shower and wash basin all within one individual room is something many of our guests really value, and we're glad it made your stay more convenient. Thank you as well for your constructive feedback regarding the gravel roadway. We'll certainly take a look at the section you mentioned, as we appreciate that gravel can naturally build up on bends over time. We regularly grade and maintain the roadways, and your comments will help us identify if any additional attention is needed. We hope you'll have the opportunity to try Ben's Bar and café on your next visit, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Pinecones again soon. Pinecones

Me gustó Location in a village setting

No me gustó Poor toilets Site would benefit from a general tidy up

Me gustó Site layout and hard standing for camper vans close to the horse arena Very friendly and hard working staff, Ellie in particular who appeared to do everything and still found time to exercise her horses which was a pleasure to watch in the arena Quiet and relaxing Very new and clean toilets despite few in number

No me gustó Few toilets and showers if the site had been full, which it was close to being over the weekend One shower only had an on tap and it was difficult to control the temp. The other shower had a second tap to add in cold water One Airbnb user was returning back early hours of the morning despite a no vehicular movement. Airbnb was close to Campervan hard standing

Me gustó Location Deceptive ‘power shower’! Great power and temperature despite being a push button Fully serviced pitch with electric, fresh water and waste water disposal point Tarmac for van, grass for awning

No me gustó Unable to peg close to the van for the awning due to concrete foundation of the tarmac area - beggars can’t be choosers! Poor Wi-Fi reception in the location of fully serviced pitches

Me gustó Small site Quiet Aviary Cleanliness Location Friendly staff On site bar and cafe

No me gustó Space limited for an awning

Lo recomendaría a mis amigos Lo visitaría de nuevo

Me gustó Location for nearby attractions Clean toilet and showering facilities Squirrels Plethora of birds with an early dawn chorus 2 for 1 offer to the Castle Howard gardens and grounds and an optional upgrade to the house

No me gustó Hard standing pitch for awning. If grass could be used you are then too close to the neighbour. EHU provides power to 4 pitches so bring a long cable (available on site if not)

Del administrador: Thank you for your review Darren, it sounds like you approved of your visit to Lakeside and Castle Howard. We do have the option of electric grass pitches which you may have found more suitable for your awning, however booking well in advance is advised to secure one of these pitches as they sell out most of the time.

Me gustó Coastal location Spacious site layout Great facilities within a central toilet block with each individual ‘bathroom’ having a toilet, shower and sink We had an issue with the hook up connection which was rectified within 20 mins

Me gustó Great location within a short drive to Ullswater Fantastic toilet and showering facilities Ease of check in / out Great value for money

No me gustó Entertainment facilities were closed Monday and Tuesday, despite it being half term

Del administrador: Thanks so much for your lovely review! 😊 We're thrilled you enjoyed the location, facilities, and smooth check-in experience—it's wonderful to hear you felt it was great value for money too. We really appreciate your feedback about the entertainment facilities. We're sorry they weren’t available on Monday and Tuesday during half term—that’s definitely something we’ll look into to better align with school holiday schedules in the future. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay near Ullswater!

Me gustó Ease of access to the site Free selection of pitch Cleanliness and availability of toilet and shower amenities Free Wi-Fi is a bonus Staff-free site so everything is done via email/ message Leave of trust to pay the fee balance via bank transfer
