Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (maximum 8 metres)
Liked: Pitch was lovely, Toilets were nice and clean. Only a short walk to the lake and pooley bridge. We couldn’t get much phone signal but I think there were upgrades you could get to get some tv signal. All the staff were lovely and helpful.
Disliked: The showers are push buttons so can’t control the temperature

9M fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Really did love the park and how quiet it was. Everyone on the site were so friendly and the location was brilliant! The toilet/shower block were always super clean and not overly busy!
Disliked: Check in was from 1PM, arrived at 1:30pm and reception was closed until 2:15pm.. not ideal when people are checking in. Also signal is terrible and no WiFi on pitches. But didn't really bother us!
