Gostou Good play areas

Não gostou Toilets weren't the cleanest- they weren't cleaned until 10/11am, so before that time the floors were soaked from showers, bins overflowing, little to no toilet roll.

Outside of Blaithwaite's control to an extent, but the last few days of our holiday were ruined by other campers- a tent of young girls drinking and shouting until after midnight, and a huge group (20+ including the children, spread across a couple of pitches but all sitting outside one of the tents in the middle of the field) letting their children run wild with head torches and screaming until 11pm. Disappointed that such a large group were able to book together. From leaving the bar at 9pm they were ridiculously noisy- we understand that everyone is different but there's sitting outside your tent chatting, then there's joining in with your children literally have screaming competitions at 11pm while they run between other pitches. Messaged out of hours number to see if someone could come down and enforce the "no tolerance" post 11pm noise rule- the message was read, but no response and nobody came down. Again, obviously it's out of the site's control who books the site and unfortunately with camping there's sometimes inconsiderate campers but I think perhaps a patrol around 10.30pm reminding people of the 11pm cutoff, asking them to wind it down a little isn't too much to ask.

Gostou Very friendly welcome when we arrived, personal showing to our pitch, we found a problem with the pitch, wasps were everywhere due to previous occupants pouring something on the grass, we were immediately reallocated to a different pitch which was very satisfactory. Lovely site, play parks, shower cubicles, washing up points all great. The barn is outstanding, the bar prices are fantastic and having a singer on the Saturday night was a brilliant bonus. All staff members we came into contact with were extremely friendly and helpful, can't really fault anything!

Não gostou The weather, which is completely out of the control of Blaithwaite but it did mean we had to cut our trip short, an amber weather warning for wind and heavy rain, the staff alerted us to this bu visiting every pitch and also emailed us advising but not enforcing us to pack up and leave, we did make the decision to go for our safety.

Gostou Lovely little site. Plenty of space for kids to play. Everything you need toilets and showers where clean enough.

Added plus that the barn sells hawkstone also !

Não gostou We didn’t notice any WiFi. This could be a bad or a good thing depending on what you want !.

Gostou We had a great time at Blaithwaite house, we camped there. The pitch was great, soft ground and great parking. Toilets where very clean and kept on top of during our stay. Kids where happy as they played on the near by park area. It's in a great location and lovely scenery. Would definitely stay again.

Gostou Lots of space for pitching and for the kids to play. 2 parks, mini golf, enclosed gardens and a football/rugby pitch. A onsite bar and a pizza van on weekends which was enough to keep us all happy.
Toilets and showers were clean and tidy (although they could do with a mirror and some hooks in the Elrigg block) 4th visit over the last few years and have booked another few nights with more of us for 2 weeks time.
Location was great for us just far enough away from local amenities (25 mins drive to Keswick) to feel close but far enough to feel like we were in the middle of the countryside
Would highly recommend this site and plan on staying here again over the years to come

Gostou The grounds are beautiful, there’s crazy Golf , chequers , beautiful barn with bar and entertainment, we walked the dog trail which ended up by the playground and 2 goats (Ice man and Caramel) and of course the chickens. The fields are equipped with toilets and showers which were cleaned daily and had hot water constantly. The is laser tag but we didn’t try it and a food wagon came which was a lovely treat . All in all it was a lovely few days we would recommend the site.

Não gostou The paddock forks only had toilets , ideally a shower would have been nice .wi for would of been fantastic
