It was lovely to host you at Little Acre Sajid and it sounds like you had a really good time with us.
Here's to the next time when you'll be able to explore some more of the area.

Perfect
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches Aug 2022 This was our second visit to this great little site. In a great location for dog walking and a lovely welcoming pub opposite to enjoy an afternoon drink and serving lovely food if you fancy a change from cooking.
The site and facilities are well kept, the pitches are big and the owners can’t do enough for you. The site is situated five minutes from the M6 although you wouldn’t think so as it’s so quiet. It’s a perfect location for exploring the lakes or to just chill out for a few days. We will definitely be back again.

Great stay
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 We had a fantastic stay, could not fault it. Near the motorway and many places of interest. Paul and his wife are lovely and very informative. They keep the place pristine. Very dog-friendly and has great walks by the canal. We will definitely be back.

First outing in our new campervan
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches Aug 2022 Our very first outing and we were not disappointed. Great location and a base to visit the local, beautiful Lake District. Excellent toilets and showers. Would definitely recommend. The pub over the bridge was also very welcoming.

I'm glad that your pioneering trip in the campervan went so well for you Ian. Paul
Perfect
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 Had our first stay at Little Acre. On arrival - wow, it looked stunning - immaculate, nice large pitches and it got even better. We met Paul, the owner. A fantastic guy who was always there to help if needed. We had great walks along canal with our 3 dogs. A perfect relaxing site. Kendal is only 15 minutes for all your shopping. Great walks.
There is a fantastic restaurant 500 yards away but you're better off booking as it gets busy. Our only downside was that we had to come back early as one of our pups was not well. Only missed one night. We will be back soon - 10/10

Thank you for the review Stephen. It's lovely to hear that you and the pooches enjoyed their stay with us and exploring the Lancaster Canal towpath. Paul.
PS: I hope that your dog got well quickly.

Thank you Steve. I'm glad that your stay at Little Acre worked out so well for you. Paul
Lovely place to stay
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches Aug 2022 Lovely place to stay, 1 mile or so from the M6 near Kendal and South Lakes turn off. 10 minutes to Kendal. It has nice facilities on site. The owners should be commended for the high quality of the caravan site.
Nice Pub/restaurant 2 minutes walk away. We will go again - it is a lovely place to stay.

Great stop over
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 Needed to break a long journey and this site hit all the buttons because of easy access to M6.
Friendliness. Facilities. Nearby pub. Oh and LPG a short distance away.

Thank you Ian.
I'm glad that your buttons were properly hit at Little Acre!

Long weekend
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches Aug 2022 Great stay. Paul the owner very accommodating and friendly. Nice little site, quite quiet. Close to the canal and river for a walk with dogs. Could do with a few more toilets as people were queuing up.
Overall, a pleasant stay and not to far off the motorway. Good location. Will return again.

It was lovely to host you and I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay Darren. We are building a much larger loo, shower and laundry block this winter, which should improve things for everyone. Paul
An excellent site
Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 Little Acre is an excellent site. We have used it over many years and is one of our favourite sites. Ideal location, clean, quiet, friendly and well run.
You couldn't ask for anything better. Keep up the good work.

It was lovely to see you again at Little Acre Hazel and we'll carry on trying our hardest with the good work!

Family of 3 with a motorhome
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Small Pitch Aug 2022 We had a lovely welcome from the owner who would stop for chats during the evening. Our pitch was a lovely size and very well maintained. Very good value for money. Great WiFi signal. Could do with a couple more showers there.
Site's response
Thank you for bringing the nice weather when you came Alison - it was appreciated by everyone! When we're busy, extra showers would be very handy for the 2 hour, peak times of the day, for the other 22 hours they aren't being used! When the new shower block is installed next year, things should improve (although I bet we still could do with more for the busiest times, on the busiest days!)
Paul
p.s. your daughter seemed to find the free wifi a hit!
Excellent site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 The park is spotless as are the facilities. Paul is very friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a relaxing, peaceful holiday then this is the site for you.
We will definitely be going back.

The best
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Aug 2022 What can I say. Absolutely fantastic. The owner came to greet us and as it was our first time. He guided us with the ramps for our van. The site is beautiful showers toilets and washing up facilities. The lake is lovely to walk and swim in. We will definitely be back here. Thank you

I'm glad that your pioneering trip out was an enjoyable success for you Candice. It would be lovely to host you again in the future (please bring the sunshine with you again). Paul.
Great, out of the way campsite
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches Aug 2022 Great out of the way campsite, but be prepared for a drive into town.
We stayed just the one night on our way to the Lake District. We didn't manage to book into the hotel/pub across the road, so ended up having to take the motorhome into the local town (about 4mi) to be able to get provisions - something we didn't think about!
It could be quiet and some nice walks about, but be wary with smaller kids as its close to a very fast road with no pavements for walking.
We had a scout camp nearby while we were there for the weekend and so there was quite a lot of music/noise until about 10pm - but that's just one weekend. I'm sure usually its very quiet!
There's a lovely canal close by which was a good walk for the dog.
Site's response
Thank you for your review and your (brief) stay Michael. You're right, it usually is very quiet at Little Acre and the Scout jamboree made quite a difference when it was on - it was quite surreal listening to agadoo, gangnam style and other "scout friendly" songs. Paul.
Campervan overnight
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches Aug 2022 We are new to all this and just bought a campervan, the owner of the site very helpful with a few issues we had. I would recommend this site, very well organised and toilets and showers spotless, will definitely be staying again.

Thank you Mairee. I don't know masses aboiut campervans/motorhomes, but I'll always try to help if I can.

Thank you for the lovely review Sharon.
Great site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2022 Great site, only thing I would change is no disabled facilities and I struggled in shower with nothing to hold onto.
Toilet block was spotless, modern, personal touches like flowers, jar of cotton balls, mini emery boards, jars of scented oils, free soap, shampoo conditioner in showers. However, there's a 20p charge for 3 mins, can this not be added onto site fees?
A new shower block I am told has been granted planning permission, and a laundry room would make this 5 out of 5 for me. The owners are amazing, always on the go keeping it well attended to and attention to detail is great.
With pitches that are uneven, they have supplied levelling ramps or large flat stones to assist with levelling - a great touch.
Site's response
When we get the new shower, loo and laundry block with accessible facilities, please come back again and hopefully we'll get that 5* from you, Margaret.
When the showers were free, we got multiple instances of people repeatedly pressing the "free shower" button that either a) exhausted the entire hot water tank which meant that no one else could have a shower until it was reheated or b) emptied the 47kg propane gas cylinder that meant we couldn't offer showers until we could get another cylinder delivered. Since reintroducing the 20p for 3 min charge, we've never run out of hot water or gas! Plus, we now offer complimentary high quality shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, which we didn't do before.

Outstanding campsite!!!

Thank you George. It was a pleasure to host you at Little Acre. Paul
Fantastic site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2022 We were made very welcome by the owner from the very 1st minute we arrived until the time we left.
The site is very clean and tidy. Shower blocks are great & clean with shampoo, body wash and conditioner provided that is situated within the shower cubicle. Its great for walking with easy access to the canal tow path. There is a local pub just up the road that is affordable.
I would recommend this site. We'll definitely be coming back.
