Idyllic spot
We stayed at Crosslands for 3 nights on our way to Scotland. The site is so peaceful and had beautiful views all around. The hedgerow and field animals were so amusing, and in our 2 days we saw such wonderful places and amazing scenery. Thank you so much!

Other people have commented that Vodafone is ok but I haven't tested that. Like most CL's, it is a working farm & is surrounded by other working farms, so expect a... Show more

Hardstanding pitches helped and there are plenty of electric points. TV reception reasonable. Really nice walk from site up to surrounding fells. Will stay... Show more

Well off the beaten track, very peaceful and quiet, lovely views. Owners very helpful. No TV or phone, site basic - all of which we wanted! The directions in the handbook are fine and probably the only safe way to get there towing a van. Although the approach from the main... Show more
