Non-electric grass tent pitch (riverside)
Liked: The Riverside spot was quiet, had a tap and toilet facilities, very chilled and beautiful surroundings! If you walk further down the lane there are nice views of the stream and gully. The member of staff who greeted us was very welcoming and helpful too

Liked: Really enjoyed my stay here. A lively site with a working farm, and lots of other different types of accommodation. Very tidy place and excellent shower block. It's a good place for getting to other spots. Keswick 15 minutes, Ullswater 15 minutes, Ambleside only 35 minutes.

Kipper cabin
Liked: Beautiful traditional log cabin set in wonderful woodland with abundance of birds to see and listen to. Also able to spot red squirrels at the feeders! Love the opportunity to have cosy log fire in the cabin and firepit while sitting outside. Plenty of seating areas both inside and outside. Love the feeling that you’re away from other people but can use the campsite facilities if you want to. Always made to feel welcome and at home by the owners.

Liked: This is a very well kept site which is great value for money. The toilets and showers were spotless. The view was great, we were camping in the field at the top which is best for the sunset. It was very quiet and peaceful as there were young families so it was quiet by 10pm and we slept very well. The alpaca farm just down the road has a cafe that does a good breakfast. Pooley bridge a 15 min drive away.
