An excellent site, made even better by the spectacular scenery.
Electric hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked Lovely site, very clean and made to feel very welcome by the park wardens. The views are stunning, a beautiful location to wake up to and go to sleep to. Excellent selection of essentials, that you may have forgotten to pack and at a very reasonable price too. A lot smaller site than we are used to, but that made it more special and all of the pitches are a good distance from each other.
Disliked A bit too far from all of the major tourist destinations, but the site made up for that.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (XL)
Liked Beautiful surroundings and lovely area, great for getting out and about around the Lakes. The facilities are really clean and well maintained, with brilliant hot showers! Sandy and Bruce are friendly and welcoming and there if you need anything. We had car issues and Bruce was on hand to offer advice. We visited a couple of pubs in the area, The Bridge Inn is about a 10 minute drive and The Red Admiral around 20 mins, both serve lovely food.
Disliked Nothing (other than the typical Cumbrian weather!)

Beautiful site, great facilities, good pitch sizes and friendly staff.
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We loved the friendly welcome, the size of our pitch was amazing enough room to park our car, pitch the tent and shelter plus plenty of room for our 2 dogs to be able to play while tethered. The view was stunning 1 of the best on site. The facilities are very clean and tidy and they provide an outside dog shower too. As it is a small site it was very peaceful and everyone respected the quiet hours, except the donkeys and sheep 😉. There is a lovely woodland walk if your looking for a nice evening stroll. Alround it is a beautiful peaceful place and we will definitely book again.
Disliked Nothing.
