A real gem of a CL
We stayed on this site for 2 weeks in August 2016 and really enjoyed it. The welcome was warm, friendly, helpful and the complimentary eggs were a very nice touch. The first thing that strikes you is how beautifully maintained the site is with nicely mown lawns and very neat access road and hard standings. There is plenty of space between each pitch so you have room to move around and privacy when you want it. Pitches have their own electric and water supply with courtesy lights on the tower so it's easy to find in the dark if necessary. The toilet/shower log cabin is spacious and very clean making them a pleasure to use and they are serviced every day (11:00-12:00). The views of the surrounding countryside are lovely and add to the spacious feel of the site. The town of Longtown is only 1.5 miles away so local shopping and amenities are very handy but if you want a more extensive shop the there is an Asda superstore approx 6 mile away at the M6 junction with cheap fuel on site, but fuel is card payment only. There are lots of places to see and things to do without travelling too far but the Lake District, North Yorksire Dales, Kielder Water are approx 30 - 45 mins away. Gretna Green and Scotland is also right on the doorstep. One of the things which really adhered me to this site was the farm animals that inhabit the field that runs down the side and back of the site. A pair of donkeys and a pair of ponies who appreciate any carrots that might be on offer, sheep, various types of geese, chickens and ducks which patrol the site at their leisure, (and not forgetting the 2 black cats who are fond of being fussed). It really is a beautiful, peaceful, well maintained site which Adele and Owen can be very proud of. We will definitely be returning in the future and thanks to both for a wonderful holiday.
