Réponse du gestionnaire : Sometimes reviews make me smile.

This review was either written by:

My ex-wife
Someone who had to be told more than once to get their dog on a lead
Someone who had to be reminded of their manners

I know this because at no point during their stay did we receive any comments or complaints.

My advice - smile - tomorrow will be a better day.

Sincerely

Brian

A aimé How the kids could be so close to the animals and wasnt a far walk from the stream, had a great walk about arrived a little later in the day so didnt get a chance to visit the town,

N'a pas aimé We had to leave early cause of the wind and rain was like the scene from the wizard of oz 😂 but will be going back with a proper check of the weather forecast.

A aimé Clean and tidy site in beautiful surroundings. Good information signage at the entrance for new arrivals and ample hardstanding/carparking at the entrance means you can read the signage from your car. We stayed at the main campsite which is set out with toilet/shower/pot washing block at the top adjacent to the entrance, then two facing lines of pitches running down the field with track between. Individual pitches clearly demarked by cut grass with uncut boundaries and plenty of space between so it doesnt feel overcrowded. Pitches large enough for large tent and a car. You can pick which pitch to go for and any pitches which are prone to waterlogging in extremely wet weather are clearly signed. The quiet time at night/early morning seemed to be observed by everyone when we stayed.

N'a pas aimé No wash hand basins in the toilets, had to wash hands in the single sink used for washing pots and pans. No recycling bins so all rubbish had to be bagged together.

A aimé Good location, walkable into Sedbergh and other local walks. Peaceful site overall. Clan and tidy.

N'a pas aimé Multiple toilets located around the site but other than the three near the entrance they were all portaloo type ones.
Toilet roll regularly ran out.
No basins to wash your hands in and only one sink to wash up in that was sometimes used for people brushing their teeth.

A aimé Great size pitches, with fire pits. Clean toilets and shower area. Friendly staff come and collect your rubbish for you everyday and come round with fire wood for you to buy.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Sometimes reviews say more about the author than the campsite.

On the weekend of this visit there were approx 250 campers on site and we didn’t receive a single phone call with any issues (including toilet roll or showers).

The toilets and showers are checked every 2 hours. It is possible that a single cubicle ran out of toilet role - but at no point did 2 or more, so there was always toilet roll available if you were to look or be patient.

We don’t have mirrors because people obsessed with vanity create delays in toilets and sinks leading to big queues. You can look at yourself anytime, get out and enjoy the landscape.

Regarding value for money. A pitch includes a free fire pit, free showers, unlimited waste disposal, up to 4 adults or 6 people in total, not to mention free unlimited access to the livestock.

My challenge by return is if anyone thinks they can find a comparable price within a 5 mile radius of Sedbergh, I’ll give them free camping for a year with Farm & Fell.

Sincerely

Brian
