we have just spent two weeks at this site and feel I need to reply to some of the cons of a previous reviewer . we had no problem with the T V reception although did not get the full range of freeview channels, but enough. However Jon is aiming to add T V cables to each pitch by next year. A wifi booster was installed during our stay so no problem with that either. There is some traffic noise but not to the point of distraction or nuisance for that matter, just the odd motorbike with no exhaust. The site is wooded and has a beck running through it. There is a fantastic private walk along side this leading to the fells and spoilt for choice walks and fell runs. Jon and his team are very obliging and helpful. There are a couple of local shops although you will need to travel to Penrith to do a proper shop. I did see deliver vans in the area so online shopping could be an option. beautiful site and area, will definitely return.
