Liked: 1 think we like on side was a weather
Disliked: Camp site situated in a middle of housing estate ,so you feel like on someone back garden. No electrics no hitting so you can freeze to death

From the manager: Thank you for reviewing your stay at West Point. We are really disappointed to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us. We do feel had you have read the properly listing we clearly indicate the site is without power & runs from Solar packs for off grid camping. Whilst the pods are not heated we offer hot water bottles, throws & winter duvets in your unit & Yurts can be booked as a heated alternative which is indicated in the descriptions. Unfortunately whilst our location is driving through a housing area the site itself is located towards the tip of the island with a 2 minute walk to a 4 mile beach line & surrounded by nature in Walney Islands nature reserve. Thank you again for taking the time to review our property.

Liked: We loved how hospitable the host was. He made sure he was there to greet us and show us to our yurt, which was immaculate and beautifully presented. No detail was missed and extra provisions were given to make our stay warm and comfortable. Due to the weather being so cold we were also given access to the building for indoor showers and toilet use. The facilities were the cleanest and the staff were the friendliest. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Liked: We loved all the special and thoughtful little touches on arrival such as a lovely warm welcome, a tour of the amenities, power packs, ice packs, a concise and polite safety run down and the promise of anything we need at the end of a txt or call... We loved the location, shared yet private... you arrive through a housing estate yet hear all the nearby nature, allowed us to feel out in the sticks... Clean, tidy and so very comfortable x
Disliked: Running out of gas on the morning we were leaving, so couldn't make a brew
