N'a pas aimé Absolutely

A aimé Toilets basic but clean

N'a pas aimé Stayed on the camper pitch with hot tub ....this pitch feels like an after thought. On arrival we were given 1 basket of logs which is just about enough to heat the tub up . If you want more logs there £10 per basket, I've stay on other sites with hot tubs and never paid extra for logs all in with the pitch fee. You only find out there are extra charges after paying on pitch up . Some extras are over the top £30 to have the hot tub on for when you arrive, the most I've paid is £10 . When you get out of the hot tub you are straight on to gravel would have been nice to have a bit of decking there .under the steps to get into the hot tub is a standard extension lead .... not good near water !
On pitch up it says there is a fire pit and picnic bench at the pitch it's not really at the pitch as its on a field next to the pitch with a fence round .
I know this is a farm but the flies were awful
We booked for 2 nights but only stayed the one .

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for you review.
Our pricing is competitive with other such pitches in the area and once the hot tub is hot, it holds its heat for at least 24 hours.
The field you mention is actually the enclosed garden that comes with the hot tub pitch and all this is clearly shown in the pictures on Pitchup. Other guests have loved having this space.
I don't think the flies have anything to do with it being a farm and more to do with the time of year.
I emailed you to see if you were ok as we noticed you hadn't returned, yet you chose not to raise any of this. I am sorry the privacy, huge amount of space and beautiful scenery were not for you whilst you sat in the hot tub.

A aimé A quiet, rural setting that offered a real escape from the hustle and bustle.

Surrounded by open fields with stunning countryside scenery, perfect for unwinding.

Welcoming and helpful without being intrusive.

Clean facilities and tidy pitches; it’s clear the place is looked after with care.

Handy base for visiting the Lake District or nearby towns like Carlisle.

N'a pas aimé Slightly more signage on arrival would make it easier to find.

Some minor improvements to amenities

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks so much for your lovely review.

A aimé Friendly great communication with the owners and they follow up the next day .Very clean.We just wanted a break as we were ahead of schedule and this place was perfect.

A aimé Being Surrounded by animal.

Réponse du gestionnaire : So pleased you enjoyed watching the extended family, hope to see you again soon :)

A aimé Stayed in the fully serviced hot tub pitch with enclosed garden. Brilliant pitch, very friendly. Toilet and shower very close by. Some hooks near the hot tub would be good 😁

N'a pas aimé No dishwashing facilities near the pitch, have to use tent field.

Réponse du gestionnaire : So pleased you enjoyed your stay, adding a wash-up area nearer to you is on the list of things to do! So watch this space 😃

A aimé Enclosed garden area for dog. Pod was massive with kitchen facilities, hot water, beds. Decking area. Walk to neighbouring village. Showers and toilets clean.

N'a pas aimé Not much to do, so had to keep the child entertained. But not a bad thing really. Enjoyed the peace.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for your lovely review and photos. There is lots of information on our FB group about things to do in the local area :)

A aimé Peace and quiet, lovely views and the owner - very friendly. Nice touch with fire pits and picnic benches to use.
The owner is working hard to update/improve the toilet blocks

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks so much for your lovely review. The toilet block is completed. The Hubby appreciated you noticing his efforts! :)

A aimé Location was ideal for our purposes
Owners are very friendly

N'a pas aimé Facilities were not operational bit of a building site around toilet shower areas

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for your review.
The men’s toilet on the main site is fully operational and cleaned daily but as the sign says on the ladies door we are either asking campers to use the unisex toilet or the toilets by the pods.
I appreciate that there is some mess that occurs with renovation by the toilets but I’m not sure how you can class the facilities that were open as not clean. I cleaned them myself Monday morning when you arrived and again this morning when you left.
