Mains Farm Camping and Caravan Site

A aimé Great site, the owners and staff were lovely with lots to go and explore with the kids. Plenty to keep them busy and happy while safe and secure. Great country setting

N'a pas aimé Only negative is if you are stating with very young children (we had a 15 month old) is it can be very busy with large groups - they ask to keep the noise down after 11pm so with the fires drinks and such going tilll then our little ones struggled to get to sleep. Maybe have a separate field for this with under 5s? Not really a negative as everyone is there to enjoy them selves.

A aimé What an amazing find this site was! Owners are so welcoming, gorgeous old farm (rustic all the way!) and to top it off we happened to stay one night when they had live music! ( don’t panic it wasn’t late, and super family friendly) the whole experience was fab! Loved it ❤️

A aimé Loved the site, the surrounding areas, easy to access the fields for walks, and the parks were well maintained for the young ones to play safely, the music and live entertainment on the Saturday was amazing, everyone was up dancing and the atmosphere was perfect

A aimé Beautiful campsite in a lush setting. The owners were absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough for you, so welcoming. So many walks from the site along the river etc and a great base to explore the rest of the Lake District. Honesty shop and fire basket hire was great, plenty of space between pods
/Tents etc. We were lucky enough to be there whilst there was a live singer and pizza night, brilliant touch and we really enjoyed it, great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

N'a pas aimé Toilets and showers were clean enough however one thing I think I'd suggest is keeping maybe a mop (or equivalent) in the shower rooms for people to (hopefully) clean up after themselves and wipe down as the floors outside the showers became quite wet and muddy at times.
Another thing to add also which is no fault to the owners was that if you are staying by the play park it can be quite noisy, and was annoying at times which kind of spoiled the peaceful vibe of the site. I have kids so totally get kids having fun and the noise etc which is fine, but this was more then causing trouble etc, parents weren't really checking in on them. Again no fault of the owners but just to bare in mind, especially if you don't have kids😂

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review. We take on board the comments regarding the floors. It is a little like the Forth Road Bridge keeping them clean - especially when it is wet and even more when the grass has just been cut.
We have two Camping Pod Fields - one closer to the play park than the other. I spend a lot of time allocating and moving bookings so that people with no children are on Cart Horse Field and those with children are in The Orchard Field. I do get that not all parents check on their children - it is frustrating for us on the safety front more than anything. Its a difficult one.
Thank you again
Julie

A aimé The park was spacious, safe and clean. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a pod, which was perfect for a little adventure. It had lighting and electrics and we paid extra for some wood to have a camp fire. The play park was close by, with the options of a walk to the river and town if you wanted it. The shop with honesty box was a lovely touch.

N'a pas aimé Nothing. Only scored lower on wifi as you’d struggle to access the internet unless you’re in the Wi-Fi area. Not a bad thing unless you need it.

A aimé This has now become our favourite campsite after 1 visit. Very well managed and run. The campsite was very quiet at night and in the mornings. Plenty of kids there playing in the play area so my boys were so entertained I read a whole book.
The owners of the campsite are lovely, very friendly and helpful. The facilities are very clean. There’s toasters, kettles, a small fridge and a freezer. Everything was clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back

A aimé Friendly and welcoming owners.
Great facilities with a toaster/kettle/microwave. Hot water and showers!
Lovely views and short walk to the river, we paddle boarded and it was amazing. Great base to explore. We had no problem with signal or internet. Camping pod was clean and saved us from packing up a wet tent if it was to rain!

N'a pas aimé Lots of wasps (can’t be helped! It’s summer!) but I recommend bringing a fly swat or something.
