Stayed at Coniston again in the Feb school hols as its a fantastic site. Wardens extremely helpful and cheerful, which always makes a difference to the holiday. The site was clean as all CC sites are. As the site is only partially open during the winter, this proves to be a fantastic adventure play park for my two young ones. We go deer spotting but tend not to see many as my kids aren't the quietist of ones. The dog loves the walks through arms around the site. Coniston is a short and pleasant walk away with so much to do. We tried The Ship Inn this year and that has quality home cooked food too!  All in all, I intend to book again either later in the year or again next year. Roads are a bit narrow but just take your time in getting there and use the directions provided by CC as any other way in is a bit more tricky.
