We stayed at Upper Hawthwaite for four nights having selected it for proximity to the south western fells. What a lovely site; quiet, with stunning views of the fell including The Old Man of Coniston and excellent facilities. The shower even had a heated towel rail - a much appreciated touch. Nearby is an excellent inn. What more could we want? We’ll be back!
Perfect!
This is the finest CL I have ever stayed at. Great facilities, very tidy, beautiful views, cheerful and friendly owners, and a lovely part of the Lakes with excellent Wainwright walks nearby. What more could you ask for?!

IDYLLIC FARM SITE July 2016
Probable the best kept farm we've stayed on. Friendly welcome from Martin and Pauline. Absolutely beautiful position, as peaceful a CL you could find. Lovely pubs near by and Broughton for local produce and goodies less than 10 mins away. A great location for South Lakes and coast, will be back when next passing through. Phil and Nina.
what a gem
Have spent five nights at this site as was very impressed. Martin and his wife was very friendly and helpful. The site is a working farm with all the activities involved with farming, which did not spoil the peaceful atmosphere. There are wonderful scenery and you are not far from any of the attractions. We will certainly return.
Total peace
Just spent a week here. If your looking for somewhere to unwind, look no further. Total peace and quiet. the final approach needs some care but well worth it. Martin and Pauline are real gems. It was a pleasure to meet them.The facilities are spotless and the views are terrific. Highly recommended. John and Linda. x .

Delightful!
We really didn't want to leave this great CL. Beautiful scenery & a great location for touring the Lakes. All the pitches are hard standing & a good size. Martin & his family are very pleasant & happy to advise you on walks etc in the area. Highly recommended.
Stunning views
We stayed for 2 nights and would like to have stayed longer, the site has stunning views. Martin is very friendly and always has time for a chat. We walked from the site into Broughton along the road and back along the old railway track, a nice circular walk. The quaint Blacksmiths Arms is .75 mile down a very long hill, well worth popping in for a drink or bar snack.
Great break - June 2015
This is an excellent CL, on a working dairy farm, with superb facilities. Martin (the farmer) is a real Cumbrian character. I agree with all the previous reviews and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the site to other club members.
Great CL
As others have said this is a great CL with everything that you will need at hand. Martin enjoys a good chat and points out all you need to know about the area. Can see why people would want to return and highly recommended.
Great Spot
We stayed for 12 days at the start of May and thoroughly enjoyed it. The toilet and shower were brilliant and never had to wait even though there was normally four the five pitches taken. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Find the village of Broughton as soon as you can as there is great local shops like the bakers, butchers, greengrocers and P.O. come newsagents.
