Peaceful place. Stayed over Easter bank holiday. Perfect location to get to other places. Not far from Pooley Bridge or Keswick. Also, not too far from Ambleside and Windermere. No issues whatsoever and had a small play park. Perfect for all types of people.
What a gem

We chose Beckses Caravan Park as a base for a hiking weekend, and we stayed in one of their glamping pods... it didn't disappoint! The pod was spacious and very clean. The kettle and microwave were a welcome bonus, as was parking next to the pod. The shower block and toilets were exceptionally clean, and well maintained. Overall, it was a great experience for a great price! I will be booking again soon, and I would definitely recommend it 👍
