Kestrel Lodge Campsite Reviews

Amazing stay, couldn't ask for more

Highly recommend, feel so happy and refreshed after our lovely stay at this quiet campsite. Clean, tidy with lovely views, and staff absolutely amazing. Planning a return trip as soon as possible it was so good!

Great stay

Exactly what we expected, quiet camping with the kids.

Brilliant campsite!

First time camping and I was happily surprised at how clean and well ran the site is! No hassle, no mess, perfect 👌🏻

Fantastic

Super friendly staff, super clean toilet block, well stocked shop, great location. Couldn't have asked for more.

Camping weekend

First time at campsite. Lovely location, there was a fenced off field for the dogs to have a run about. Toilet and shower facilities where clean and also, there were 3 sink areas for cleaning dishes. There was a reception with few bits if you needed anything, like crisps or wood for firepits, and an honestly box for when it wasn't open. Campsite was tidy. I'd definitely go back as it is a nice little campsite, not overcrowded and to see the chickens strutting around 😀

Fab stay

Wonderful campsite, gorgeous views with a lovely little walk to the local pub. Great facilities with a fab little shop and hard working staff. Loved our stay and felt very welcome! Inclusive to families and to our dog, she loved a ball throw in their dog area. Our little boy loved looking at the chickens in the morning.

Good campsite

Location is very nice and quiet, with a friendly owner. I recommend it to anyone.

Lovely little site

Cassie was lovely gave me all the information I needed. Was helpful if you had any questions.

Father and son camping trip

Very good site. Quiet and remote, but with very good facilities. Very helpful receptionist who pointed out where things were. Logs for sale to use in the old wheels used for camp fires. Some essential supplies in a fridge operating on an honesty box basis (i.e. eggs, cheese, bacon, bread rolls etc), covered sink area for washing pots and pans etc and a good toilet area with separate men's and women's facilities with a great, hot shower. Looks like there was a washing machine available for use, though didn't try it. About 20 minutes drive to Keswick, so handy for that. Overall a very good 3 night stay, would happily return.

Wonderful weekend

Booked 2 nights here at short notice for myself and my partner and our 4m bell tent. When we arrived the manager of the site gave us a warm welcome and a rundown of the rules. She was very informative and happy to help us with any queries we had, and she directed us to some of the local peaks when we asked. We would definitely stay here again as it was good value for money, very clean and well maintained. Thanks for hosting us, we had a great weekend!

Lovely quiet site

Lovely site. Really quiet and having a fire pit is great. Pitches are big and toilets are clean. Great as a base for walking and cycling with a pub a short walk down the road.

Thank you Graham for the review, we really do appreciate it. I'm so glad you you enjoy your stay here and hopefully we'll see you again soon.

Great little campsite

Lovely little campsite with great facilities. Great Location for Northern Fells and Keswick. Great pub less than a mile away. All pitches provided with a firepit and firewood available on site. Covered social and cooking area a great idea for people in smaller tents. Would definitely use again.

Would highly recommend

Comfortable stay, friendly guests, quiet site and convenient location.

Hi Noah, thank you for your review, we really do appreciate it. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay here and hopefully we'll see again soon.

Brilliant!

Awesome campsite. Views are amazing from every angle. Super quiet at night, and if you have clear skies you are in for a treat as they should be asking for dark sky status. Plenty of room on site. Greeted by the staff on arrival who were lovely and friendly. Excellent bathroom block. Toilets regularly cleaned and a nice hot shower. Easy to get to once you know where it is. I would recommend better directions as the post code covers quite a long stretch of 1 track road. But the site itself was absolute brilliant.

Hi Dan, thank you so much for your lovely review! We really do appreciate this. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay here and hopefully we'll see you again soon. Great advice about the directions though, I'll make sure people are emailed a good description rather than following the postcode for satnavs. Thank you again :)
