Liked: Nice site with a little stream which was lovely to listen to at night. Showers were hot.
Disliked: Some Duke of Edinburgh students came on one night and were very noisy - drinking and shouting. Also very noisy and woke everyone up in the morning. We dreaded more coming and another lot came the second night but were quieter thankfully. Otherwise was quite quiet. The pitches were quite close together.

Liked: The place had spectacular views. The pub was great and within a very short walk. The amenities where all that was required. The shop provided the essentials and a great choice of cakes and pastries. The Saturday night pizza barn was a great idea and an opportunity to talk to fellow travellers.

Liked: Reasonable toilets, good location for Scafell + nearby peaks. Friendly owners
Disliked: Unfortunately I have to drop the rating for this site due to how terrible the ground is. When I arrived it had rained a bit, but nothing crazy, and most of the site was inaccessible. The car struggled to drive despite most of the site being flat, just mud and water everywhere. Very hard to find a decent pitch. If there’s been any kind of rainfall recently I can’t recommend staying here. Also, the showers are a considerable walk down the road and due to it raining on the evening I decided it wasn’t worth the walk, so can’t comment on them, but disappointing
