Just stayed here for the week. Site nice - with several routes to walk into Coniston either through the adjoining Nat Trust farm camp site or the higher route along an old railway line - be careful crossing the road. Both routes take around 30 mins strolling. Several reviews have mentioned about dogs barking - this seems to be an issue but it's down to how good the owners are at disciplining their dog / dogs. A gent had two beautiful dogs opposite us - not allowed in caravan, kept in a cage in his 4x4 overnight & then tethered to caravan during day sat on a rug. Very well behaved & a credit to the owner who they adored when he took them for walks. Back to site review- roads are narrow to site - all roads in this area are narrow so proceed with caution as a land rover going the opposite direction in a hurry tried to smash my drivers mirror off. Busses from Coniston to Windermere & Ambleside buy a day rover ticket. Try the Bluebird cafe by lake for light bites cakes etc. Several pubs in Coniston but menus are similar. Also small CoOp & other small shops for basic necessities. Also small shop on site & chip / pizza van certain days. All in all a nice break.
