A fantastic, beautiful site with great facilities
Recommends site
A lovely site to stay at. We stayed for a couple of nights on the way to Scotland, and while my health didn't allow making the most of what the site has to offer (easy access to Windermere etc), it was a great and well-maintained site. Staff were helpful on entry, showing us to our pitch, and any questions were answered quickly and efficiently. The whole site looks well kept and up together, with everything looking maintained properly. Toilets were clean and disabled toilet and shower worked perfectly (this is not always the case).
The food truck offered good value food when the pub food wasn't available, and the staff were friendly and helpful in the shop.
The pitches are a bit uneven and we didn't bring wedges, so a bit of regrading wouldn't go amiss, but everything else worked and checking in and out was simple and quick.
The printed map given out gives loads of useful information and the Wi-Fi works well on site. The only criticism I have of the map is that it could be clearer in terms of entry/exit for orientation of where you are when you enter (and I'm a decent map reader). Clear instructions to avoid a difficult road entry (it would be a sharp dog-leg if approaching from the north) are also given via email beforehand but I think they could do with a bit more detail and a final zoom or details on the junction you do have to take (with GPS coordinates) as '3.6 miles from a roundabout' isn't a great help.
But overall, what a lovely, scenic, well kept place. I think the lawnmower guy was a bit over-zealous (as he re-did the grass next to us at least 3 times in a row), but I guess that's the price of the place being so neat and tidy - and it really is. Looks brand new in many respects!
Site's response
Thank you for this detailed review Darren which I'm sure others will find very useful.
Most of our touring pitches are pretty level so we'll have a closer look at the one you stayed on. If you visit again, please do ask our team as they are always happy to assist with levelling. We're not a vast site so hope you quickly found your bearings.
We hope to welcome you back soon.
