Liked: Very basic but has all the necessities - toilet, sink, shower (extra £1), washing up facility, drinking water & electric. Great spot to pull up for the night & was relatively level. Between Keswick & Grasmere so great location. Would stay again!

Birchell’s summer house microlodge
Liked: Absolutely stunning location and a perfect central base for so many great walks. Good pub only a 15 minute walk away. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. Loads of animals to see (shout out to the goat especially who was super friendly!)
Disliked: Didn’t like the proximity to the main road (not that the owners can do much about that!) but the noise wasn’t too bad when inside the micro lodge.

Liked: Decent pub about a mile down the road.
Disliked: The farm yard, muddy and basic, there was no option to not have an ekectric hook up and it was expensive really. No where to let the dog have a run around.

From the manager: Very sorry that you didn’t appreciate the working farm aspect of your stay and you obviously think we don’t rain in the lakes our site is hard standing so sorry if the top was a bit wet but at least you weren’t to pull off. As far as the dog we insist you keep dogs under control at all times as we have animals close to the site you will find that that is common policy at must farms. Again sorry you weren’t satisfied.
Nice site if you want to walk round the hills

Liked: The location is superb if you want to walk Helvellyn and local beauty spots. Such as Thirlmere reservoir. If you want to go into Keswick there is a bus stop outside site where the 555 bus goes every hour. The fair is £2 a head do you can’t complain and cheaper than parking your car. A lovely pub a mile up the road to where the food is magnificent. The site facilities are very basic with a shower (pound a go) toilet and a sink for washing up. The owner was very pleasant.
Disliked: Constant dog barking as the farm has alot of dogs, sometimes through the night and early morning. There is absolutely no phone signal or WiFi. Take a book.
