Binsey camping pod (two person)
Liked: Vera was very welcoming from the time we arrived to when we departed. She was very happy chatty and ensured we was comfortable with our stay. Vera also messaged to let us know she was out and if we needed any other assistance to contact another person in charge.
The location was perfect very close to the beach. The place was clean and tidy and lots of items in the kitchen if we needed anything.
I would highly recommend this place to stay.
Disliked: Nothing.

Binsey camping pod (two person)
Liked: The location was amazing, so quiet, no light pollution so on the clear nights the view of the stars was epic. Beach was 2 minutes walk and caught a fantastic sunset on our 1st night. The pod was comfortable and hae everything you need. The kitchen shack was a god send on the 2nd night when rain stopped the idea of a bbbq.shiwer was nice and hot and the owner was really friendly.
Disliked: There wasn't anything we disliked.

Skiddaw camping pod
Liked: The pod was really comfortable and cosy. (This was important as we were glamping in the midst of a storm!) Our host was really friendly and welcoming. The shower was hot and worked well. The kitchen (in a shed) was basic but homely and the stove was good (although took a little while to master). There was a good range of board games, available from the kitchen, which we loved. This area of West Cumbria is unspoiled and the site is really close to a beautiful and quiet beach.

From the manager: Thank you I’m pleased you enjoyed it even in the storm and by god it was a storm 😊😂
