Liked: Showers and toilets were clean. Pizza on Saturday night was lovely! No signal available and had to go closer to Keswick for this, but not a bad thing for a few days.
Disliked: Lack of flat pitches available, wasn’t that much to choose from.

Liked: A small campsite with clean toilets and washing area a few feet away. A stream runs through the site which is very picturesque. We were visited on the site about 9pm to check our booking and to ask any questions. The site is in a lovely spot with areas of interest close by. The Seatoller Farm is a short walk from the site and has a cafe, pub and barn eating area.
Disliked: I don't think the site was monitored very much so pitching up was a bit of a free for all in terms of finding a spot. I'd advise getting there close to check in time. Unfortunately no electric pitches or signal (which is mentioned in the booking - would just be nice).

Liked: We loved the peace and quiet of this idyllic site tucked away in Borrowdale. Dan and Ruby were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. We walked along the lake to Keswick and returned by bus to fantastic homemade pizzas at the farm. We loved our stay here and will definitely return.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Site is peaceful, nice to pitch by the river.
Disliked: Not impressed with washing up facilities, No hot water. Not great having to walk to the Farmhouse area for showers. They are good but if you have young family it's not great.

Liked: We had a lovely stay at Seatoller Campsite. The campsite is smaller then some of the other campsites near by, this meant it was alot quieter in the evening and it felt more peaceful. Great for us as we are a family with children so sleep is important. The campsite was a short walk from the farm shop, pizza barn and local pub. All of these were fantastic. The farm shop sold cakes, scones, icecream, lamb burgers, gifts, coffee. It was a lovely little shop. The pizza barn was great. We has fresh pizzas on Saturday which were delicious. There are walks available directly from Seatoller in all directions. I didnt use my car for 2 days as we didnt need to due tp the fantastic choice of scenic trails. The site itself was clean and looked after. The toilets and washing station were cleaned daily. The campsite owners were super helpful and friendly.
Disliked: Unfortunatley we didnt have a great choice to pitch lower down in the campsite where views were more visable as it was a bit to wet and boggy. This isnt the farms fault ad we have alot of rain. We opted on the nearest pitches to the toilet which were drier however it does mean you lose some of the open views of the valley. There wasnt a great deal of space for kids to play. They managed to find some small open places to play but they were quite near other peoples pitches which they didnt look pleased about, so we felt a bit restricted. However one evening we walked upto a huge field just over a foot bridge and made use of this space.

Liked: Fabulous location, peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Great local pub just 5 minutes away (Yew Tree) and miles of paths near by. Only 20 minutes by car to Keswick ans also served by a regular bus route to Keswick. Will definitely book.to stay here again. Great to have no phone signal and get away from it all.
