Church Stile Farm and Holiday Park Reviews

Great stay

This campsite is great! Staff are really friendly, shop has everything and more, toilet block is clean, showers are warm / powerful, on-site stone baked pizzas, pub across the road and a cafe is a 5 minute walk away. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for what we needed

We came for a kayaking and hiking trip and only needed one night here as part of the trip. The site itself was well laid out into hedged areas for camping with decent sized pitch spaces having lots of room around us, facilities were clean, ample and the farm shop also had extra bits in case we needed it. The farm shop also had free WiFi, which was needed due to poor phone signal. Although you had to be quite close to it to use it, so being on-site the WiFi wasn't being picked up. The only issue we had was some loud people on site after midnight (there's an on-site quiet policy after 11 pm which went ignored by those) and a car tooting their horn at 5:30 am, but obviously, that's just inconsiderate people and nothing to do with the site itself. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which was very welcoming. There is a nice pub very close by too with a friendly atmosphere and decent food (although quite pricey). I'd definitely recommend this site and if we decide to climb Scafell Pike again or kayak in Wast Water then this would be the place for us.

Great place to be

The campsite is in a great location and the surrounding is amazing. The kiosk is well equipped and the service is brilliant and pleasant. Only downside is the toilet/shower area, where cleanliness can definitely be improved - it is not too bad, but would recommend to refurbish the entire building and keep it clean more often during the day.

Great campsite

Nice, friendly and well-run campsite. Great time, will definitely be staying again!

Three nights camping at a great site

Welcomed at the site on arrival and clearly shown where to pitch, as well as all facilities on site. Excellent guidance provided with questions about routes to different places and the local area. No mobile signal (Three) anywhere on site for me, but free wi-fi at the shop was enough when needed. Pizza from the shack on site was delicious and again great service.

Okay for one night

When we arrived we were told to go and find a space in a certain area. There were no spaces although to be fair I didn't arrive until 7:45 pm. We paid for a space though so it was a bit annoying to have to squeeze between two tents. The gentleman in the shop said they close at eight, but the pizza van remains open until nine. At 8:10 pm we went for pizza to be told there were none left. The toilets were clean and showers were okay. The park in general is kept very well. There are some lovely views although, depending on where you are pitched, they may be obscured by overgrown bushes. There was no Wi-Fi available except near to the shop/reception. This was fine as we were only there for one night.

Site's response

Thanks for the feedback and review. Sorry to hear you weren't able to find space to pitch. Had you returned to reception, one of our team would have been more than happy to have helped you locate a better spot for you to fit in to. The pizza van that we have on site is independent to us, so we have no control over their stock levels. However, we will ask him to up the number of pizza doughs that he prepares each evening prior to a day's service. Our Hedgrows are trimmed in the autumn and winter months, in line with DEFRA guidelines. This is to avoid any negative impact on nesting wild birds.
