Liked: I had a fantastic stay at Moor House Farm Campsite - the views are beautiful, the toilets and showers are spotless and the water is hot! Above all though, communication was great and Julie was super helpful!

Liked: Myself and partner travelled with a few friends up to the Lake District for the weekend. Moor house farm camping was amazing the hosts were lovely and friendly and extremely helpful. Everyone on the site was very friendly and everyone was respectful. The facilities were amazing and better than expected. The check in details and all information was extremely helpful.
Disliked: The only issues we had were we felt the signage for the campsite was a bit small and hard to see, a bigger sign would be easier to find the campsite. The only other issues we wanted to improve was in the bathroom there was a sign with what 3 words to find the campsite easier, it would have been nice to have received those details in the confirmation email to find the site easier.

Liked: Very clean and tidy. The facilities were well equipped, clean, no odours. The host was helpful and friendly. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were running delayed so sent a message to check if we would be able to arrive late and was happy to be informed that this wasn’t an issue. We will be back next year!
