Quiet site but needs updating

I stayed here in September for 5 nights. My brother rented a glamping lodge. I found quite a private pitch where I hadn’t any other caravans in front of me. The site is set in the woods so there isn’t really much of a view. At night you can hear the owls hooting away. It is a short walk down to the lake and an excellent path that leads to the village of Coniston. There is a pub a short walk away that sells lovely food and beers with friendly staff. There are numerous hills and walks on the doorstep and the town of Ambleside is a 20 minute drive away. The road leading to the site is quite twisty and narrow in places. The site itself was pretty easy to access and park up with the caravan. The facilities at the site are locked and you are issued a key. This is because members of the public are allowed to walk through the site and have apparently been using the facilities. The facilities are in need of updating and felt a bit grubby with old looking tiled floors and black mouldy stains on the ceiling. When I was there I found one of the two hairdryers not to be working. Incidentally it was the same down at the other toilet block. Also the one and only hand wash dispenser was empty at 10am. The general look of the site was that it needed updating. Wood around the water and refuse areas looked old and dirty. I also saw dog poo on a number of occasions.

We were at Coniston from the 21st to 26th Sept this year. This is our second visit and although it rained this visit it's our favourite site laughing. It's in the woods so to hear the owls etc is a bonus. There's nothing wrong with the site or it's facilities.
