Little Acre Holiday Park Reviews

Nice little site

Lovely little site as a stop off on the way home to the midlands. Clean toilets and showers. lovely pub over the road and a nice walk down the canal. Only thing was dog on pitch 4 wasn't on a lead and came running out at my teacup chihuahua when asked the man to put it on a lead he just continued to sit there and ignored me.

Hi Lindsey Thank you for staying with us on your way home recently. Paul

Exceeded all expectations

If there was a higher rating than excellent I would give it to this site. It was immaculately clean. The attention to detail in the showers, toilets and laundry was spot on, the site was manicured. Lovely obliging couple. Right on the Lancaster Canal for a very pleasant walk.

Last min find!

Found this campsite at last minute and feel incredibly lucky! Toilet block and laundry facilities were excellent and friendly host. Short walk to local pub and beautiful walk along the canal. Some road traffic noise but nothing that disturbed us!

Hi Sarah Better to find us last minute, than not to find us at all! Paul

Great campsite in lovely area

1st time at this campsite, would definitely return. It's in a beautiful setting, plenty of room between pitches. Facilities are new and immaculately clean. Ground are really well kept and the owner is friendly and helpful. There's a lovely hotel not far away.

Hello Karen Than l you for the lovely review of your recent stay with us at Little Acre. Paul

Lovely small site

Only used this site to break up a long journey but really liked it and will now plan it in future trips. Has new immaculate facilities, really nice and helpful park warden and although we didn't manage to go, there was a lovely looking local pub across the road.

Hi Siobhan Thank you for staying with us recently and for rating us as 5*'s on campsites.co.uk Paul

A hidden gem

Beautiful hidden away site in great location with lovely walks and Crooklands pub nearby is fabulous. Will definitely be staying again. Like the fact you can stay for one night on a weekend not like lots of other Lake District sites where weekends is two night stay!!

Hello Craig Thank you for staying with us recently and for recommending us on campsites.co.uk. Yes, we get lots of people staying with us for single nights and they are very welcome to do so. Until next time Paul

Lovely stop-over

A small site with ample facilities. We were greeted by name at the reception before even getting out of the camper. Two toilet blocks, one of which is unisex but clean and modern. Showers are 20p for 3 mins but you get hot water from the start. We were just staying for one night to break a long journey but had time for a long walk along the canal side. Would we stay again or recommend - yes, definitely.

Lovely little site

Lovely little site, great location. We booked to stay near to a car show, we were going to and it was only a short walk from the site. Even better, there was a lovely pub just a short walk away too. Very clean and tidy site, lovely pitches and the facilities toilet block and showers were some of the best I've seen on a campsite, they smelt good too. Washing up facilities good too, will definitely return again.

Hi Vanessa Thank you for choosing us for your recent short stay - I'm glad that it worked out so well for you. Paul

Great site!

Only stayed one night as a stop off after driving back to Scotland from Cornwall. What a great wee site!! To quote my wife "best toilets I've seen on a campsite"!! Pub literally a stones throw away and canal walks on your doorstep. Excellent communication from the site prior to your arrival with details on which pitch you are on and details about the site. Excellent free WIFI also! We'll definitely be back for a longer stay!

Site's response

Thank you Andrew. We'd love to have you stay with us for a longer time to explore the area. Paul

Amazing place

Booked last minute and what a pleasant surprise. we were greeted when we arrived and shown to where our pitch was. All the facilities were right next to our plot. We asked about good places to go for food and they recommended Arnside for fish and chips. Amazing. We will definitely be coming back again.

Hi Chris Thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that you enjoyed your time at Little Acre. Paul

Fab site

Excellent place to stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Just off the motorway M6 junction 36. Only booked online an hour before arrival and received a prompt email with pitch number and other relevant information detailed. The site was very clean with fab amenities. Best shower and toilet area we've experienced with free shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Had brilliant Wi-Fi too. Lovely canal walk just offsite and a pub opposite if required.

Hi Elaine Thank you for choosing Little Acre recently and I'm glad that you enjoyed teh facilities that we have here. Paul

Perfect M6 stopover

We stayed here for an impromptu one night stay as a result of the M6 being shut, causing huge delays on our way home from a few days in the Lakes. The site owner is a very friendly and affable chap. He met us as we rolled in and showed us to our pitch and explained the facilities. The site has a mix of hard standing pitches and a grass area for tents. Cars are parked next to the tents. We had a Campervan pitch with 16a power, water and a grey waste drain. We were close to one of the toilet blocks which had laundrette, wash up and unisex toilets and showers. Showers were 20p for 3 minutes with free soaps, shampoo and conditioner. All the facilities are very new and finished to a high standard. Showers are large individual rooms with a sink so give great privacy. The site Wi-Fi was easy to access and very fast. There is a good hotel and pub just across the road which does tasty food for around £20 per head. There is also a canal with a tow path which makes for a very pleasant walk. Dog friendly site. There is a little road noise if you are on the end of the site nearest the main road. It didn't bother us.

Site's response

Hi Justin Yes, we had quite a few extra people staying with us that day when the M6 go so badly disrupted. I'm glad that your time with us worked so well. Paul & Sarah

Returns

Third visit great hosts and well kept site as usual. Will visit again.

Site's response

Hello Kevin It was lovely hosting you again the other day and I hope that you left me refreshed! Paul

Lovely little site

We stayed for 1 night as a stop over on the way to Ullswater. Small quiet site with 2 shower blocks one has just been built and very nice and clean. Pub over the road and free WIFI on the site and a lovely walk along the canal tow path. Would stay again.

Hi Lindsey Thank you for staying with us recently and yes, we'd love you to come back! Paul & Sarah

Lovely friendly site

Lovely small friendly site with good facilities and excellent location.

Thank you for the lovely review Paul.

Stop over

Didn't like having to put 20p in to machines for a 3 minute shower. No grey waste point for campervan.

Site's response

Hello Neil Thank you for recommending Little Acre on campsites.co.uk. For a while, we removed the 20p for 3 minutes and immediately ran into issues - we had multiple instance of people taking 15 min showers which was a) depleting 150lt of hot water at a time and b) hugely annoying for other people who wanted to have a shower. Once we reintroduced the 20p for 3 min charge, we've never had issues of the hot water being depleted and the facilities are more readily available for everyone to use. I'm genuinely disappointed that you've only rated us as 3*'s for cleanliness on the day that you with us, both facility blocks were cleaned 4 times and were checked over another 4 times - the first check being 08.30 in the morning and the last check was 11 o clock at night. Throughout the day, at not time did I need to take additional measures to keep of top of the sites cleanliness. Paul

Our stay

We didn't know what to expect but the site exceeded our expectations. Although the site is small and compact, the pitch sizes were perfect. Having electric and water right behaved the motorhome made things so much easy. The shower and toilet blocks were amazing and very clean. The whole site was well maintained by the owners. Paul, one of the owners, came over and introduced himself and always said hello when passing. The site is right next to the canal which does have one boat that runs from 11-4 on a Sunday at a cost of £4 for adults and £1 for kids. The dog goes free. There is a lovely hotel just across the road called the Crooklands and booking is advisable. All in all, a nice relaxing site with very little noise.

Hello Michael I'm glad you enjoyed the quiet time at Little Acre during your stay. Paul

Short trip

Stayed here for a short break, the site is excellent, very well kept and immaculate shower/toilet/washing up facilities. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Site's response

Site's response

Thank you Diane We love having returning customers coming back to us. Paul

Very clean!

Brilliant for roof tent, right next to canal and pub! Very clean! Can't fault it, you get a message detailing where your pitch is beforehand and everything you need to know. Spot on.

Site's response

Hi Nathaniel Thank you for joinging our exver expanding list of roof tenters ! Thank you for staying with us and I hope that you carry on enjoying your touring. Paul

Lovely campsite

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Acre Campsite. A friendly, peaceful site. The facilities were of a very high standard and kept very clean, one of the best shower/ toilet blocks we've been to! The whole site was well looked after. We felt welcomed and were given great recommendations on where to go. The local pub was only a short stroll away, which also served very tasty food. We would definitely return to Little Acre Campsite.

Hi Nicola Thank you for staying with us recently and for leaving such a lovely review of your time at Little Acre. Paul & Sarah

Pausing for the night

Heading to Scotland from the south coast, this site was just far enough to split the drive at junction 36. Clear instructions and directions on booking, and a cheerful greeting on arrival. Nice level site with EHU & water tap on pitch. Amenities were top class, clean, warm, modern and spacious. Good showers, inside cleaning area and washing machines. Very quiet and peaceful locations. Had dinner and a few drinks across the road in the Crooklands Hotel. Truck stop on way in that had good price diesel, LPG pump, small shop and a fresh made sandwich bar. Wish we had picked up a couple of breakfast butties from here instead of pulling into Tebay!

Site's response

Hello Howard Thank you for choosing Little Acre for your overnight "pitstop". I'm glad that you enjoyed the peace and quiet with us and a good meal across the road at the Crookies! Paul

Nice holiday park

Nice holiday park with good facilities and local pub within walking distance. Very impressed with the site including the excellent facilities block. Only problem could be if the site was full, the toilet blocks may not be adequate. A motorhome service point for waste and fresh water would be a good addition. Cannot fault the owners, very helpful and friendly.

Site's response

Hello Len It was lovely to host you recently and I'm glad that you enjoyed exploring the area whilst you were with us. Paul P.S. we have 2 shower and loo facility blocks onsite, so that even when we are at 100% capacity, we have no issues at all.
