Great Site for Exploring Northern Fells/Northern Lake District

We've stayed on this site twice so far this year; once in April, and most recently in August. As mentioned in another review, the site layout has changed. It is now only a 3 pitch site due to the 2 small luxury cabins that have been built taking up the space... Show more

Not what we expected

If you think you are going to have an un-obilterated view of Bassenthwaite Water (as per the picture) you, like us, will be massively disapointed. The site now has 2 wooden clad Mobile homes (See https://kilnhillbarn.co.uk/) Lodges at the front of the site obscuring the veiws from the CL pitches... Show more

Stunning views - tired site

The views from the CL are stunning - in between Lake District clouds! And a motor mover is pretty much essential here - especially if the ground is wet. However, for a CL in such a beautiful location, a little bit of investment to sort drainage, mark out and perhaps extend... Show more

Good time at Kiln Hill Barn

Spent 4 nights in October. View from the pitches towards Borrowdale is fantastic. Site is very quiet. Somewhat muddy in wet weather. Access is easy from the A591, though you come across the site entrance at very short notice when driving from Keswick (More detailed directions are available on Kiln... Show more

Amazing Site

We booked this site in the depths of winter when you really need a summer holiday to look forward too. We were not disappointed. The views are spectacular and we found many walks we could do from the site. The site is well maintained and very clean. We are now... Show more

Lakes Distillery Tour

We chose this site for its proximity to the Lakes Distillery, having been given one of their gift tokens as a birthday present. The CL was easy to find. The owners were welcoming, and showed us the available pitches, and location of water/waste points. All 5 piches were occupied but well... Show more
