Camping at Cardewlees

Gostou Location - peaceful, fabulous open views over rolling countryside and the lake district in the distance.
Neighbours: Lovely cows and their cute little ones.
Facilities: as described, and all clean and well equipped with basic necessities.
Pitching: flat

Não gostou Noise of mower at 9 am.
Stench of chemical waste being pumped out at 9.15 am = affecting all campers passing by to use the kitchen bins/ sink/ loos ... Really thoughtless to start the maintenance jobs before 10 am: campers are asked to vacate the site at 10 am, so ought to be allowed to enjoy the peace and tranquility ( and pure air!) they have paid for until then.

Gostou Toilets basic but clean

Não gostou 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 .

Do gestor: 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.

Gostou 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.

Não gostou Slightly more signage on arrival would make it easier to find.

Some minor improvements to amenities

Gostou 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 😁

Não gostou No dishwashing facilities near the pitch, have to use tent field.

Do gestor: 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 😃

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

Não gostou Not much to do, so had to keep the child entertained. But not a bad thing really. Enjoyed the peace.
