Lowther Holiday Park

Ik was blij met Nice walk by the river. Was probably a great site at one time n could be again but not at the mo.

Ik was niet blij met On the website it said there was a pub on site that sold meals. It didn't they had no chef. It said there was a mini mart shop but there wasn't.so on way to site we passed a few grocery store but we only needed bread n milk really so didn't stop off (our fault) really. The elson point area hadn't been looked at for quite a long time the little room it was in was piled high with leaves n the pan hadn't been looked a for some time. The motorhome water emptying area all the grates were absolutely full of leaves. The whole site seems to be getting run down. No info for walks around area I asked at reception how to get to river walk n the lady was polite n told me which way to go but that was it. Spoke to a regular that was on site who told me of at least 2 great walks but we were packing up by then to leave. You can't arrive before 2pm n have to vacate by 10am. I don't know why because it's not as though they do anything to the pitches like mow. Also why does it cost £4.00 a night per dog £16.00 total no dog walk just a few poo bins. Every large rubish bin on site was overflowing. Think I'll stop there oh toilets weren't to bad at least they cleaned each day. I think pretty much every grate was blocked as we walked around the site.

Ik was blij met Trees and surrounding green. Nice to be cool amongst the woods.

Ik was niet blij met Drainage in the showers needs to be improved. Don’t pick the end shower or you will end up paddling. Plus shop was out of action.

Ik was blij met Beautiful site, close to the river, plenty for kids to do, very reasonable booking price. Staff were friendly at check in and liked they gave us till 12 to check out. Pub on site. Area was very clean and pretty. Was worried about toilets and showers from negative reviews but were all clean when we was there and had no issues and warm shower. Could park car right next to tent. Drinking water stations were everywhere so was handy. Had a bike track, parks, football pitch, big fields to play rounders and cricket. Lots of wildfire hares, foxes, ducks. Close to walking paths. 15 min drive to Lowther Castle and 5-10 minutes to Penrith.

Ik was niet blij met Toilets being so far away from tent section. They are in the middle near holiday homes and campervans would of been better near tents who really need them. Hard if you ended up desperate.
Requested being close to friends tents was told we would be... but was put on complete opposite ends which was tricky sharing our equipment and wouldn't let us change pitch. Would of liked to have known our pitches or got choice to choose when booking.
Washing up area far from tents also.

Ik was blij met Great settings, great value, nice little pub with decent food and drink, easy to find walking and cycling routes.

Ik was niet blij met Not great for public transport, including taxis. Cost £35 for a 10 minute trip to lowther castle.

Ik was blij met Location of site is very good with lots of facilities on site and near to the town of Penrith and Ullswater

Ik was niet blij met The touring pitch we were allocated was not as described. Rather than being placed on the advertised touring pitches we were placed on an abandoned seasonal pitch which was very neglected and covered in weeds and debris and the next door pitch was effectively a scrap yard. We were hugely disappointed as where we should have been was much nicer and had many empty pitches. When I complained, the managers attitude was basically not my problem, pitches are allocated by central office and he can’t move us.

Ik was niet blij met No food in the pub. The toilets being locked with an obscure password.

Ik was blij met The pitch was a good size situated in amongst trees but still got enough sun light.
Large site with loads to do,a kids park, bike track and right next to a river.
No issues with checking in or out.
Facilities were clean.
Overall one of the best sites we've been to but could be absolutely perfect

Ik was niet blij met Door code to get into the toilets was almost a disaster as I nearly crapped myself. Why can't we just go in like normal sites?
The pub doesn't do food which looks like a missed chance and also no onsite shop to buy stuff. We would have bought a meal in the pub and bought stuff from the shop if we could .

We chose a hard standing pitch with electric but it was an extra £4 for an awning, which was a bit sly as the grass bit would have been empty otherwise and there was a small tent on the next pitch, did they get charged £4? You should just be charged for the pitch, simple as that.

Ik was blij met Fab site and clean shower/toilet block. Super friendly staff in the onsite pub but no food available so make sure you are aware and plan for this.
