We had to move our original booking as our dog was ill and the owners were very helpful. Fantastic location for walks around lake and on to fells. Lake road was busy Saturday evening but did not distract from beautiful views. We enjoyed sail on SY Gondola, walk up Coniston... Show more

We had read the good reviews on this site so was really looking forward to our visit of 2 nights. On arrival we were met by a gentleman, not sure who he was but the owners were out for the day…. this was not an issue. We were disappointed with our... Show more

Great location
Arrived on site. It is quite tight through the gate but ok. When we got to the pitch we realised that someone else had taken up more than their allotted pitch so we had to end up closer to other vans and motor homes. The owner was very helpful in... Show more
