Date of Visit: June 2026 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 6 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Timmy Trafic 9 reviews from this member

 Lovely Basic, clean, well tended Site (No site showers or Toilets) What does one expect for £25/ Night inc 16A EHU

Quiet, level with hard standings. Excellent Busy pub, Superb food too at reasonable prices.

A sign reminded us of the need to Hydrate Only to find the pub was closed on Tuesdays Ironic.

However a friendly local told us it would open later for the World cup coverage. I hate footy but love beer so we took our pints back to the caravan :-)

 What a gem of a site! We visited for one night as a stopover on the way to Scotland. We were travelling through Storm Babet and due to a combination of that and roadworks we arrived later than anticipated.

The pub stops serving food at 730, we telephoned ahead and they agreed the chef would wait until we arrived. We're so glad he / she did; the food was fantastic, simple pub food and sourced from the local butcher, we both had pies and they were the best we've had in a long time, even better washed down with a real ale and served by friendly staff.

The site itself is only small, but flat and large pitches.

Only a short drive from the local parkrun.

The only downside is no toilets, although you can use the pub toilets when they're open.

We'd definitely stay again if in the area.

 We used this site as a stop over but would return for a longer stay.

Small site at the back of an excellent pub in a nice village location. Great food and ales in the pub.

Large and well maintained serviced pitches.

Good base for Carlisle, coast and Lakes.

 EXCELLENT Idyllic-Quite village location!

Try this site as a stop off en route on the M6 near Carlisle first!

Clean, 'manicured' grass between ideal hard standing pitches.

Grey waste and chemical disposal facilities conveniently placed, clean and well tended.

The adjoining pub on site takes dogs (into the rear garden) good beer menu is good pub fair.

Worthy winner of the Pitch up 2021 best site award

 Great stop off en route up to Scotland, just off the M6.

Good gravel flat pitches, pub looked nice too. Not sure if the pub did food as didn't eat there.

A quiet area in a lovely village. 


Popular Choice in this Area

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale

Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.

Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here

 Beautifully maintained site, great, well priced meal in pub, a great 1 nightstop over en route to Scotland.

Nice staff in pub.

A little tricky to find along the lanes but worth it.

Pet friendly and the dog is welcome in the pub.

Reviewer: Ahalst21 37 reviews from this member

 Excellent site, quiet, all hardstanding and very well maintained. The pub is warm and welcoming with excellent food and service. Handy for Carlisle and the northern lakes.

We will definitely be back hopefully for longer next time. Site has picnic benches and small play area for the kids.

Basic facilities, but having own shower in the motorhome is a plus for us on sites like this.

Reviewer: V and C Harvey 1 review from this member

 Excellent site - clean and tidy, very well organised. Nice quiet location and very convenient for us as a base for walking Hadrians Wall.

Also close to Carlisle and lovely countryside. The pub is great, very good wholesome pub food - nothing fancy and expensive, perfect.

Friendly and helpful landlord. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

 I hesitate to leave a review, as I don't want others to find out about this little gem.

There are no facilities, apart from chemical point.

Ten hardstanding pitches, with good space between for a bit of privacy.

Peaceful considering it is on the back of a pub. And boy what a pub, we spent the Friday night in the pub when live music night was on. So very handy to stroll back to the van, oops several beers later.

The pub is worthy of a visit food superb, beers excellent choice of cask ales. All reasonably priced for a good evening, and the log fire made it.

So I won't recommend this to any one as I don't want it to get busy so I can't get on.

15 minutes from Carlisle centre and handy for North lakes.

Price is superb for a nights pitch as well.

Hosts fantastic and welcoming to the pub as well.

Go for a night and you will return.
