Writing a review should show both the positives and negatives so here goes: The site is well laid out and covers a large area and when the brochure says levelling blocks maybe required this should read railway sleepers and scaffolding are a must. We arrived early on a Friday and were lucky to get an almost flat pitch 250 however others that arrived later were not so lucky and as I always bring wood offcuts gave them out to assist. We watched as caravans and campers pulled in spent 20 minutes trying to get level and drive off again in frustration. Others have already commented on seasonal pitches taking up most of the prime spots but to add to this we noticed the non- awning pitches seemed large enough to pitch an awning so could not see why they could not make all the pitches have awnings. By just reducing a couple of numbers it could be rearranged to accommodate this and utilise all of the pitches instead of leaving them empty. My biggest gripe of the whole site was with the chip van ( I know this is not the fault of the site)but ripped people off 3 times a week. For young families with kids on a budget I was disgusted at the price. Sausage and chips £6.00 for the smallest portion ever. My advice would be to walk into Coniston which is not far and buy the same thing for £3.00. If no one believes me I was that taken back with the chips when I got back to my van I photographed it as evidence. Gripe over we had a great stay for 7 days, staff were great, site was clean and well-presented could not have wanted a better location. The couples on either side of us were the nicest people you could ever meet (Mike and Anita plus family). As a suggestion any chance of putting some hooks on the wall outside the office/shop to leave the dog whilst inside? We would go back to this site again without hesitation.
