 Lovely place, some great views. Good site facilities.

I would go here again.

The people that run it were lovely, friendly and helpful.

I might book it for a mini break before summer is gone.

Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Dot P 792 reviews from this member

 Big site but split into many areas which are clearly defined and do make site feel more compact.

Main touring site looks recently revamped, very spacious pitches, level and all hardstanding. One side they are separated by hedges, the other smal wooden fences. It's seems a bit sterile but some signs of planting which will soften the outlook in time.

Electric on all pitches but only the odd one has water - there is another area for fully serviced.

Showers /loos 5 star, piping hot showers, washing up under cover even a dishing washing machine for those who want!

The only downside for us is the touring is high on the hill, its further from pitch to entrance than entrance to village. For those less able it's a steep climb back up to site.

For price would have expected water/waste on all pitches. On site shop bit of a waste of time, sell homeware, toys and gifts, no food other than sweets and a couple of loaves of bread - take what you need with you.

Last thing, pitches right at top are next to the workshop. Busy all day with traffic in and out, maybe book away from that bit if you want peace and quiet.

Reviewer: FlamingAthena72 17 reviews from this member

 Great winter break in our campervan, the site was quiet just as we prefer.

Easily booked online, very helpful gentleman in the office gave us information and directions to our pitch when we arrived.

The site is big and very well organised. Touring pitches are great, we had a large hard standing pitch and all the pitches looked big and well maintained. Ours had water and EHU, surrounded by high hedges and a fence which sheltered us from the icy winds!

Facilities were immaculately clean, bright and modern with hot water. Shower cubicles are big with a screened off shelf for clothes which I like.

Probably some of the best facilities we have used. There is a laundry and drying area too, organised bins and recycling areas and a dog wash and wash up area (taps switched off with it being frosty, but we managed with hot water from our van).

We enjoyed a very quiet winter break here, it’s likely busier in the warmer months but we could see it would have a great atmosphere.

Short walk into Pooley Bridge and the lake, pubs serving food, cafes and some grocery stores all to hand.

Reviewer: Karlmonty 6 reviews from this member

 Lovely site and a great location 10mins walk into P9oley Bridge. 4 pubs cafe geberal store coffee shop etc.

Immaculate shower block however I think they have missed some details. The shower spray is that fine that it's cool by the time it gets to your feet.

No shower screen or curtain so the whole cubicle gets wet even though they are a great size. Tiny soap holder instead of a shelf.

Such a shame because they've obviously spent a lot of money. But van for breaky 8-11am and pizzas at the weekend until 8pm.

Can go onto he moprs for loads of walks directly from the site.

Really tidy site would recommend and return.

Reviewer: Mickeymoocow 14 reviews from this member

 Site was gifted to us as a Xmas/Birthday present.

Nice clean site with a new toilet/shower block.

Very quiet due to time of year could imagine be busy in main season. Nice level pitches with hedge between.

Nice view over Ullswater, 10 min walk into Pooley Bridge but a steep climb back up if you`re not to good on your feet. Nice meal in Pooley Bridge Inn.

Would return.

Only dislike was walk back up site if you`re not good on feet.

 Had a good time here. Great facilities. Bit muddy but manageable.

Would definitely go again - the glamp options look great so might be tempted by them next time!

 Why can't all sites operate like this? Pick your pitch at booking.

Hedging between each pitch. Pitches were level.

Immaculate facilities. Kids roam8ng about relaxing and enjoying themselves.

Shop and games room on site.

Short walk into the village.

There is not one negative from us.

Reviewer: Foisty 5 reviews from this member

 What an absolute gem!

The site is quiet and well set out with plenty of toilets and showers that are spotless and look fairly newly built.

There is a games room for older kids and a play park with a playing field next to it. Small shop on site too.

Easy walk into Pooley Bridge where there are plenty of pubs serving lovely food, we loved the Pooley Bridge Inn.

Staff were really lovely and friendly.

Can't wait to return!
