Mi è piaciuto Tucked away in an area that was once part of the South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway route, Pennine View is a well maintained, friendly & welcoming site. I visited out of season as I'm past the age of having to entertain kids (thankfully!) but a couple of families were also on the site and they looked well catered for. The facilities are top notch with ample toiletry and showering facilities, black & grey waste water areas, recycling and a small shop on site for essentials. The pitch I had was lovely and large, providing ample room and space between pitches ... this appeared to be the same across the whole of the site. There's a bar open between 16:00 - 22:00 in a beautifully re-imagined old railway shed. Food is also available on a daily rotating menu basis ... I sampled one of the pizzas which were freshly cooked from scratch and very delicious. The other menu items also sounded very appetising. Kirkby Stephen is a 5 minute walk away, with many other lovely little Cumbrian towns not that much farther afield ... all worth a visit. Hikers and walkers are spoilt for choice with a plethora of routes to discover. Too many to list here, just enter Kirkby Stephen walks into your favourite search engine to discover them! In all honesty, I tend to stay at more "basic" sites as I enjoy the peace they generally provide but I wouldn't hesitate to book at Pennine View for another visit.

Non mi è piaciuto The only minor gripe I had was the wi-fi coverage. I was parked up by the engine shed which had a wireless access point inside and I struggled to get a signal in my camper (always an issue in a steel bodied vehicle anyway, Faraday Cage anybody?). This has been an issue with every site I've ever stayed at so I'm not singling out Pennine View. Having retired from the IT industry recently I know how much a reliable wide-area wi-fi setup can cost and sites do have to be able to make an income on their investment. So basically, a bit annoying for me personally but not a deal breaker.

Mi è piaciuto The location was perfect for my needs ... lovely scenery, options for circular hikes nearby and a lovely local pub (about a mile away on a walkable road, just keep your eyes open for traffic as it's a national speed limit until you reach Millers Dale). There's an onsite shop for local produce and also for meals should you desire ... I didn't sample these but the shop looked to be well stocked and nicely laid out.
