Extremely Overpriced
This CL is EXTREMELY over priced for what it is. We stayed for 4 nights at the end of July and the owners didn't speak to us once until I went to pay them at the end of our stay. There was no welcome whatsoever.
The trees on the drive leading up to the CL needed cutting back and have left our van scratched. The grass needed cutting and the hard standing pitches weren't level - levelling blocks are required here.
All 5 pitches were taken during our stay and yet there were more pitches occupied on the other side of a small wire fence with access open to this part of the field. There were about 3 vans staying on this part of the field during our stay.
There are signs all over telling you to keep dogs on a lead but the farmers dog was lead free to come and harass us during our stay.
There are signs all over the place telling you what not to do which makes the initial welcome to the site rather hostile.
We drove our motor home to Lake Coniston via Hawkshead Hill and would not advise this at all due to the very narrow roads. We did had a number of narrow escapes with oncoming vehicles.
Nearby Hawkshead village is nice to visit and the Queens Head pub does good fresh cooked food and is very reasonable.
I would certainly think twice about returning to this part of the Lake District due to the bad state of the trees and shrubbery on the roads leading into the area. The council and farmers need to get together and cut them back to stop scratching people's vans.
