We were here a few years ago, under the previous owners, and our main concern then was that the pitches were too small. Since the new owners have taken over the pitches have been widened, and TV and WiFi are now available, handy as it means you don't need to walk into Glenridding to get the mountain forecast. The big draw of this site is its location. We walked Helvellyn one day, and Place Fell another, all without needing to touch the car keys. Glenridding and Patterdale have a couple of convenience stores, but it's a good idea to stock up before you arrive as nearest supermarkets are around d 30 mins drive away
