Liked: Great family run site, the owners made you feel very welcomed. Excellent facilities, showers and toilets were cleaned to a high standard. Great cleaning areas, fridge to keep your food plus kettle, toaster and microwave. Fantastic park for the kids with great access down to the river, I will definitely be going back.

Liked: I booked for my sons 10th birthday as he wanted to go lake district. When I arrived I had a lovely welcome from the owners explaining where our pod was. The site was a lovely farm. The pod was lovely and cosy. Facilities were great women and men's separate showers and toilets washing up area kitchen area. There was a lovely honesty shop which had some lovely homemade cakes my son loved the flap jack. The views were amazing we and a lovely stroll down the side of the river with the dog. Nice peaceful site.

Liked: As soon as we pulled up into the grounds the site has a good vibe, Robert is very welcoming and informative about his site and the surrounding areas. We planned on taking our son paddle boarding so Robert told us where to go. We stayed in a pod for two nights which was different for us as we would normally use our tent. The site has purpose built pods, bell tents, room for tents and mobile homes/vans. The site isn’t cramped up like most sites. There is a decent sized play park which our son enjoyed. The amenities are good plenty of toilets and good showers, plenty of sinks to wash up also a fridge, microwave, toaster, and hot plate if you required. Another handy thing was an external dog shower. All in all we couldn’t fault the site and would without a doubt stay again in the future.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The owners were lovely, helped us with anything. Told us some good spots to go walking and sight seeing, we had got the wrong directions from Google maps on Tuesday whilst on our way to lacys caves and the owner had drove past us, she was nice enough to offer to drive us to penrith but we just wanted to get back to our pod and she told us how to take a shortcut instead of walking on the main roads. The facilities were good and always clean. The view from our pod was mesmerising, we had come for us to have a break and some peace and quiet, we got exactly that and there was no disturbances from other people at any time. We also thought the Honesty Shop was a good addition.
Disliked: The only thing me and my partner did not like which was no fault of the Mains Farm but if we were to come again we would definitely drive and have a car as we had to walk everywhere due to how rural the area was.
