Liked: Wonderful stay on a peaceful sight. Clean portaloo's on sight and lovely pitch beside the river. Great added bonus of the fire pit which was dropped off at the pitch with wood etc... Nice pub about a 1 minute walk from the site. Really close to South Lakes Safari Zoo and a great place to stay to explore the South Lakes.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The site was great, lovely flat ground to camp and amazing surroundings with a stream running through the campsite which the kids loved and a pub across the road. The zoo was just a 5 minute drive away and local town not much further. The owners were fantastic and greeted us on arrival, lovely and friendly!
Disliked: Nothing, hopefully we will be back next summer

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely comments. Look forward to seeing you next year.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely setting, very welcoming hosts. Little one was very pleased to get to feed the goats and pet the lambs. Tent pitch was newly mowed, plenty of space for tent and for playing.
Disliked: Peacocks across the road (NOTHING to do with the campsite) woke us up before 5am, which was not ideal, but then again, it is the countryside!

Liked: A lovely secluded site. This is a basic site with a very clean porta-loo and a cold-water tap a little walk away. The kids loved it, we loved it and was a great base to explore from.
