Liked: Great little working farm site.very friendly welcome and the pitch was a very good sized fully serviced pitch. Loved all the animals and the scenery was amazing. Location was brilliant within half hour from Keswick lovely little place to visit,Allenby and other places not to far away. Lovely local pub In the village only 5 mins walk around from the site serving plenty of refreshing drinks very welcoming indeed. The locals were very kind and gave us great places to visit. Toilet facilities were always clean and the staff never stopped. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.
Disliked: Being picky but may need more toilet facilities has there’s only two little shower blocks.but plenty of stuff provided e.g. deodorants, shower gels etc so couldn’t complain.

Liked: What a lovely peaceful site with lovely views. The lady who I presumed was the owner was cx a very busy lady booking in people cleaning the toilets and showers out all whilst carrying her young baby around in a carrier. She is a legend. You can see the lambing shed which was full of lambs so cute. The toilets were lovely and clean and had personal touches just Incase yiu were caught short (ladies) x 5 mins walk to the little village or 30 mins walk to the next where it’s full of walkers and cyclists. Would deffo return can’t fault anything the sun even shone over the Easter weekend so always a bonus.
