Liked: Hospitality and relaxed nature of the owners. Location. Facilities were very clean and satisfactory. Farm animals. Views. Space between pitches. Cafe down the road for basic food (sandwiches, panini etc) and with licensed bar for a well deserved beer after a good hike around the local fells. Also has WiFi, although we had perfect 4G signal at the site. Pub down the road serves typical pub food which is OK, some good drink options and makes for a nice stop. Thirlmere Lake is very nearby and bus is currently (June 2024) only £2 which can get you to Ambleside (very busy) or Keswick.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Beautiful views. Short walk to the Kings Head. Staying on a working farm where you can buy eggs, milk and bread for breakfast. We’re made to feel very welcome.
Disliked: One of the toilets could do with a better lock!

Liked: The host was lovely, really friendly and welcoming. Facilities were spot on with power, water and toilets. The site had ample space and was quiet enough that we could have our own space. We loved the noises on the working farm.
Disliked: Slight inconvenience of the showers being operated by £1 coins only but once sourced was no trouble.

Birchell’s summer house microlodge
Liked: The hut was perfect and everything we needed!! We were useless at lighting the fire but next time we’ll bring a fire log or something. It’s the perfect space, showers and toilets exceptional. The host was amazing, and welcomed us to her home.
Disliked: The black little dog bit my foot when I first got there. I had walking boots on so only had a couple of scratches, but I do dread to think if you had crocs on. The host was extremely apologetic though and it doesn’t put me off going again as I know dogs don’t get along and I had my dog lying on my feet the whole way there. The dogs were great though after that and didn’t bother us at all.
