Perfect CL.

The site has some of the best views in England. Superb location for walking, cycling and exploring this amazing part of the country. The site has been carefully planned to give amazing views whilst being secluded and quiet. Don't tell everyone!

peace and quiet

A lovely site, very dog friendly with a fenced in dog run. two good beaches at Seascale and Drigg. A short drive to Wasdale and Scafell Pike we will be returning for a few more times this year. The owners Karen and Dave are very pleasant and helpful.

Finding Gold

We found this amazing hideaway after staying at another site close by that could not unhelpfully accommodate a longer stay! How lucky we were as we found Bolton Hall the "Gem of the Western Lakes". Tranquillity in abundance, easy access to the Mountains or the Coast any the many attractions... Show more

A relaxing, peaceful stay

We visited Bolton Hall in September 2019. Very pleased with our choice and our stay. Access drive quite narrow but adequate, even for our large 4X4 and twin axle caravan. Despite some rain, grass areas seemed well drained, no mud or ruts. Nice outlook over adjacent field, with... Show more

Disappointing and listing mis-leading

We chose this site based on the reviews, the photo of the site in this page and the fact that the CC book said that it was 2ac. The whole field may well be 2 ac, but there is a double fence separating the 'wild flower meadow' from the... Show more

Fantastic site. Will be going back.

I loved this site. The owners were extremely friendly, taking the time to give me a full tour of the farm upon my arrival, showing me the deer, the horses and the sheep. I mentioned that I had 3 acres of land and that I had considered trying to set up my... Show more

Wonderful site

We spent two weeks at this location earlier this year. Our welcome from the owners was warm and friendly and they always had time for a chat or to answer questions. From the site you can access both walking and cycling routes so you don't even need to bother... Show more

Great CL
