A friendly site with the most fantastic view and walks
In spite of our worries about the sharp bend on the bridge and the single track road to the site, actually access was really good; there are plenty of passing points. ~~On arrival we were overawed by the site's setting-slight hill overlooking the valley and the river where we watched otters fishing from the comfort of our 'van. February half term meant we had a choice of pitches-(actually the whole place to ourselves for most of the week which selfishly we love, but come on folks where are you-this is a great place at a bargain price,well placed for the coast or Lake District and loads to do in the immediate vicinity too) some are quite sloping front to back so make sure you have levelling blocks-it was our first time on a sloping site but a quick wander down to the river bank saw us returning with some suitably sized rocks that did the tricks- we got the 'van level without too much difficulty.
The site is lovely and peaceful-but there might be a bit of road noise as there is road on the opposite side of the valley that is a bikers route but we didn't hear much more than the resident owl. Situation for us was perfect-well away from anyone, with FANTASTIC walks all around which we fully explored but with a nearby village and town for provisions and fuel. Wellies in Feb are very recommended!
The icing on the cake was the friendly and helpful nature of the owner of the site-nothing seemed to be too much trouble and he passed by regularly to check the site and offer help and advice if needed. He had some great suggestions for walks and nearby shops etc- he really is an absolute delight, as is the site-we're not ones for going back to a place since our country is a big place but this site is superb and we most definitely will!
