Hillcroft

What a wonderful camp site and camping pod experience at Hillcroft and I thoroughly enjoyed my 4-night stay! I normally use a tent, but decided to try a pod for the first time, and I must say it won't be my last stay in a pod or at Hillcroft! The standard pod was quite roomy and with heating and lighting, I could have left many of my usual camping equipment at home!

Spotlessly clean site, and facilities and just a short walk down to the village of Pooley Bridge and Ullswater lake just perfect!!

I'm already looking at a return visit in October 2020 and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Good bathroom facilities, clean and very spacious. Nice reception area, gated enclosure. It’s a big site so there’s lots to do. Staff were very friendly and informative

Parking is awkward. We wanted to park outside our pod so we could unload stuff, but other people were taking the spaces. If you have a pod you should be able to park in front of it instead of having to walk with heavy stuff in the rain. The window was left open when we first went in, so there were many flies in the pod. Pitchup stated check in time was until 8pm, however reception actually closed at 5.30pm. Luckily, the reception were nice enough to call us asking to confirm we were still coming. When we arrived they told us pitchup often give inaccurate information, so watch out for pitch up! It’s unprofessional pitch up do this because it means people might not be able to check in properly

We stayed in pod 8A next to our son and his family in their tent. The pod was cosy and warm and although we didn't need to cook we made good use of the picnic table good experience all round.

The sound of bird music in shower/toilet, which were very clean as well, had a picnic bench next to pod. Staff friendly

Location was brilliant, the site was very clean and staff are very friendly. All in all couldn't find a single fault with this place and we will be coming back asap.

Absolutely stunning site and excellent facilities

Coming home!!

Loved the hosts john and his wife!! Was so welcoming and caring! Nothing was ever a problem and the pods were lovely and cosy too! My car broke down whilst we were there and john kindly had alook at it and told me where the problem was and let us stay abit later to get my hire car! Will definetly be returning to stay in the bigger pods.
