Brilliant site wardens, truly lovely. Fantastically located site with the lakeside only a couple of hundred metres from the lowest pitches. Have just enjoyed a lovely short break but want to come back asap to enjoy the sheer beauty of Lake Coniston and surrounds. Usual outstandingly high quality of shower blocks and other facilities that I take for granted on CC sites but are always very welcome especially after a long walk on the fells in the wind and rain. A mobile fish and chip van visits betw 5pm and 7pm on Tue/Fri & Sat.  I highly recommend the homemade steak pie with gravy which was scrumptious. The haddock and chips were a bit bland though but were freshly cooked with high standards of hygiene and excellent banter from the guys serving up. Pitches aren't enormous and mostly under tree branches which in the high wind and rain peppered the roof of the van with acorns which was darn noisy.  Obviously won't be a problem outside autumn.  The site isn't very attractive, it looks a bit messy and stark but hey, once away from the van the countryside around it more than makes up for it and the site is only for sleeping in isn't it?  Coniston isn't huge but it has the best cafe I have ever visited, The Green Housekeeper is wonderful.  Lovely staff and lovelier food, please visit, you won't be disappointed.  Walking in the fells is a doddle from the site with the lower reaches of Coniston Old Man less than a mile from the gate.  We will definitely be back to this CC site if only for another slice of that steak pie.....
