The site was easy to find and in good location for stunning views and on bus route to Keswick and other towns. Pub next door to site too. We upgraded to EHU last minute with no problems.
Okay for a short stay

For a quick stop off, then this site is fine. Very friendly. It is by a busy road but that didn't bother us, the view behind was beautiful. Showers were what I expected for a farm. Water was hot so that's the main thing. There was a lot of work being done which I we didn't know about, so piles of rubble and workmen about. The 10 mile walk around Thirlmere Lake was brilliant and literally just had to cross the road to start the walk and with the pub next door, perfect for a drink to recover when we got back. I would stay again if passing.
Rough and ready

Basic but serviceable site. The pitches are quite rough with patchy grass and gravel/hardstanding and some big holes that fill up in the rain, so you may need to use levelling blocks and take care when walking to the facilities at night. Shower block was clean with two toilets and two showers in the male block, though the shower heads were very low down. No mobile phone reception on several networks in the area, though free Wi-Fi is available at the pub next door which does decent food with sizeable portions.
Pleasant stay

Stayed with caravan and our experience was exactly what we paid for. Owner pleasant. Great location for getting out and walking. Fantastic pub at the side! Just don't pull up to the farm, just turn right onto the field once arrived. This will save the turn around in the farm yard. Thank you!
Nice spot for a wee overnight stay

Lovely central location, so not too far from all the main walks. Easy to find from the North. The site is right next to a main road, so if you’re a light sleeper, it might not be the best. Traffic quietened down about 10ish. Not a problem for me, and the facilities, customer service and views were worth it. No signal, but also not a problem, as it was nice to get away. Pub right next door was lovely, good food and great wifi.
Another great stay at Thirlspot Farm

Nice little site for walking around Helvellyn and Thirlmere and a great base if you want to go further afield.

Excellent location for Grasmere, Ambleside and Keswick. The site itself is lovely and quiet well ran and spotlessly clean, although it's next to the main road you soon get used to the traffic noise. The shower block is clean and has good hot showers. Brilliant stay, thank you!
