Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2024

Though the site location will not be to everyones taste, it is a location that has surprises! This is a return visit for us but this time with a caravan not a tent. The facilities have been updated since our previous visit and more improvements (if that is the word) are due to start within a few days of our departure (12th May). Paul has worked wonders with the site and facilities, always clean, plenty of good advice and the willingness to help anyone that needs it. As said earlier, a return visit and hopefully more trips in the future. A one word summary is impossible but a fair starting point would be BRILLIANT.

Site's response

It's good to read that your stay with a caravan, rather than a tent worked out so well for you. Yes, the next phase of the improvements started today (13th May) and we have started the complete refurbishment and modernisation of our 2nd loo & shower block - we can't wait for its completion ! Locationwise, we are 2 mins from Junct 36 on the M6 and we're just 15 mins from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Having a dog friendly pub that serves good food (& beer !) 200 yards away, bus stops to Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale outside the pub, a 24 hour petrol staion with shop less than half a mile from us which can be reached on foot without walking aside the road and the Lancaster Canal towpath which is only 15ft from our entrance are just some of the things that people enjoy about our location. Hopefully you'll like our recently started and planned improvements for the future when you return. Paul

Lovely stay

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2024

This campsite was a really lovely find, probably the best we've stayed at in the last two weeks (on the way back from the NC500). The showers/toilets here are totally awesome, modern, clean and spacious. Paul the site manager was so helpful and friendly, I can't recommend this site highly enough! The icing on the cake for this site is a smashing pub with great food just yards away.

Site's response

Thank you, Jacqui. I'm glad that your NC500 trip was a success and staying at Little Acre added to your big trip. Paul

What a fantastic find

Can't fault the site. Paul the owner can't do enough for you. Shower and toilet block are like a bathroom showroom, 20p for three minutes or 1p each if you've got 19 close friends (there's nearly enough room)! Pub across the road very welcoming with brilliant food but booking is advisable. We will be back.

Site's response

Thank you for staying with us recently Anthony and leaving such a lovely review of your visit (not to sure about 20 people using the shower at the same time - the complimentary shower gel, shampoo & conditioner would soon run out, plus the arguments about using the hairdryers!) It will be good to host you in the future. Paul.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2024

We arrived later than we had hoped due to traffic and weather conditions. A quick phone call to Paul put us at ease and he was waiting for us on our arrival to show us our pitch and where all the facilities were. He was extremely friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night on our way from Worcestershire to Scotland, so didn't get chance for a good look around. The site is alongside a gorgeous canal, which was great for walking our dogs. The nearby pub looked inviting as well. The brand new toilet and shower block is unbelievable. It's better than many expensive hotels we've stayed in. Overall, we can't recommend this site highly enough. Spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful and a lovely quiet location.

Thank you for staying with us at the start of your big trip Neil. I hope that the rest of your tour goes as well ! Paul & Sarah

Lovely, quiet and little family-run site, with spaces for motorhomes, caravans and tents. All motor pitches have water and electric hookups. A brand new toilet and shower block is now open, washing up and laundry machines are also in the block. We had a lovely stay. The site is definitely recommended and we will return. A* 👍🏻

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Very friendly welcome. Site shows all the signs of lots of investment and is very well maintained. Facility blocks are some the best we have encountered and worth the small charge for a shower. Location is great for walking along the adjacent canal. The only negative I can identify is traffic noise, which only reduces very late in the day.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

This was our last night away having done a mini tour round Ayrshire, Galloway Forest and the Lakes, so plenty of sites to compare and this was the nicest site of all. Not just quiet and peaceful, but the facilities were spotless. The owners obviously take great pride in their business and were very welcoming on arrival. Would stay here again in a flash when up in that neck of the woods.

Site's response

It sounds like your trip was a great success, Steve. Thank you for staying with us and rating us so highly. Hopefully we'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Good comms ahead of our visit meant we knew exactly which pitch and where it was prior to arrival. It's less than 5 minutes from the M6, making it handy as a stopover. We had pretty much set up when the owner came over. Very friendly greeting and he showed us where the facilities were located. The new toilet/shower/amenities block was outstanding. Very clean and tidy, and there were individual shower rooms and toilets. They were finished to a very high standard. Our pitch had a slight slope but was easily fixed with ramps. Plenty of fresh water taps dotted around the site too. The site was clean, tidy and well-maintained. Out of the gate and straight onto the canal towpath opposite meant easy walks with the dogs. We would happily visit again.

It's lovely to be described as an excellent site and it would be lovely to host you again in the future, Nick. Paul

Spent two nights. Lovely owner who talked us through all that was necessary. Amenities were spotless and modern. Not a big site but adequate for the 2 of us. The pub is a 2 minute walk away and Keswick a short drive also. Would definitely stay again.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Small PitchApr 2024

Simply superb in every way. The location is brilliant for reaching so many places or for just one night stopover en route to the north or south. Minutes off the motorway but you cannot hear anything but the local surroundings. Walks all around plus the added bonus of an amazing pub within a moment's walk - food, hospitality and beer are brilliant. Dog-friendly and just like the Little Acre team- faultless 😀 Thank you all.

Thank you Bruce - that is a lovely review of your stay. Safe travels Paul

Lovely little site with one of the nicest toilet blocks we've used. Greeted by Paul the warden on arrival and given the choice of pitch as it was quiet. Only stayed 2 nights as we wanted to try our new motorhome out, but will definitely return. Lovely walks along the Lancaster Canal which runs along side the site and a great pub 200 yards away! Highly recommended!

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan PitchesApr 2024

We had stayed on this little campsite before and we thought it was amazing, sine then they have added a new toilet and shower block and all we can say is "WOW hotel standard or better". Always clean and quiet, the owners are very friendly and helpful, pub/restaurant within walking distance and close enough to be near all areas of the Lake District but far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. Perfect place for a perfect break, yes would happily stay again.

Thank you for being a returning visitor to Little Acre Alexander, and yes, we'd happily host you again! Paul & Sarah

Thank you for staying with us Pamela and rating Little Acre at 5*'s. We try to meet and greet everyone and make sure that all is good with their pitch - and then as much as possible, leave people be to enjoy themselves! It will be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul.
