We have stayed at the Riverside on many occasions and it is by far, our favourite place to stay. You could not wish to meet a nicer couple than the owners, John and Dawn Bell and site is an absolute credit to them. You would be hard pressed to find a more picturesque, peaceful and well maintained site than this. We would recommend anyone who enjoys peace and quiet in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, to stay here without hesitation. We were absolutely bewildered when we read the review submitted by MAJESTIC125 and can hardly believe they couldn’t find a suitable walk near the site without driving miles down the road?! Perhaps it would have been prudent to invest in an Ordnance Survey Map (the OL5 is ideal) which would have shown them numerous walks, well within walking distance of the site, where they would have enjoyed spectacular scenery, picturesque villages and an abundance of wildlife. As for the comments made about the toilet and shower facilities, we have found them to be more than adequate and are always warm, cosy and spotlessly clean. Unlike some other sites, you don’t have to pay extra to use the shower (which is excellent) and it’s much better than lugging water about. If they found them so disagreeable, why didn’t they use their own, on board facilities? The fact there is little or no mobile signal is not unique to this site, in fact you will find that many areas in the Lakes are affected and that’s fine by us, as it means there is no-one to bother us! This is easily rectified if you walk up the lane and there is also a payphone in the village. We’ve never had any problems with the WIFI which is provided for a very reasonable cost, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world as we know it if we couldn’t get connected. John and Dawn were worthy winners of the North Regional CL of The Year in 2012 and they certainly get our vote every time. We would suggest that you try this site for yourselves and take the totally unjustified review by MAJESTIC125 with a pinch of salt. The fact that they have decided not to return is their loss.
