West Point Woods

Ik was blij met: Every detail has been thought of in terms of how the pods were kitted out (except salt - that would be really helpful!). The battery pack was totally sufficient for 2 nights for two people including charging a phone and a watch; we saw lots of people swapping their packs but not sure why as we didn’t need to. The water was hot, the bed was comfortable and the pod was warm at night. There’s no WiFi but we both had mobile signal (Vodafone and O2) so it didn’t matter. All in all it was great!

Ik was niet zo blij met: Not a dislike, more of a warning. As others have said it’s a bit of an unusual location as it’s in the middle of a housing estate. It’s a drive to anywhere (except the local beach which our dog loved) and the local pub needs to be booked for Sunday lunch as it’s popular and we were turned away. Also there’s not a lot of space between each pod so the site does have a bit of a communal feel - not a problem for us as we were out a lot but it’s maybe not everyone’s thing. Also, there weren’t many ice packs in the freezer - we were only able to get one for the whole two days but we didn’t have a lot to keep cool so we managed.

Ik was blij met: Nothing!!

Ik was niet zo blij met: I wished I had read reviews closely before booking. Simply speaking there are no accessible woods, it is a small inaccessible scrubland area with some trees surrounded by a housing estate. The solar power barely managed one poor light bulb for an hour and a half. There were no redeeming factors at all. I left the following day to stay at a hotel. This is NOT a campsite, it reminded me of what i can only think a refugee camp would be like.The accommodation was very dirty on arrival. The pictures are not accurate and paint it to be something it is not. Please if you are a family i would highly recommend you look elsewhere maybe Silverdale or Keswick. All in all DO NOT THINK THIS IS A CAMPSITE!!

Ik was blij met: I love this site and this is the second time I've been here. It's so peaceful and well placed for me to visit South Walney Nature reserve. This was the first time in a yurt and although it's very lovely inside and equipped with everything you need the outdoor shower was not for me, obviously a personal preference. You do have use of a bathroom inside West Point House so you don't go without if outdoor bathing isn't your style. I will be back but unfortunately not in a yurt

Van de manager: Thank you for reviewing your stay at West Point. We are really disappointed to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us. We do feel had you have read the properly listing we clearly indicate the site is without power & runs from Solar packs for off grid camping. Whilst the pods are not heated we offer hot water bottles, throws & winter duvets in your unit & Yurts can be booked as a heated alternative which is indicated in the descriptions. Unfortunately whilst our location is driving through a housing area the site itself is located towards the tip of the island with a 2 minute walk to a 4 mile beach line & surrounded by nature in Walney Islands nature reserve. Thank you again for taking the time to review our property.

Ik was blij met: Gavin welcomed us on arrival and was incredibly professional. Ideal location for the beach and surround areas. Once on site, it feels very secluded. Lovely vibe.

Van de manager: Thank you Mark for the great review. Really glad to hear you & the family enjoyed your visit & we hope to see you again soon. Regards West Point Team

Ik was blij met: We loved how hospitable the host was. He made sure he was there to greet us and show us to our yurt, which was immaculate and beautifully presented. No detail was missed and extra provisions were given to make our stay warm and comfortable. Due to the weather being so cold we were also given access to the building for indoor showers and toilet use. The facilities were the cleanest and the staff were the friendliest. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
