This site is set into some of the best countryside that England has to offer. It is well run and well maintained. The hard standing we found to be just that - hard. You do also need to ensure that you have sufficient levelling blocks with you (although the shop does sell them). This is important to note as, being the lakes it rains a lot and getting the awning taut depends on good pegging out and relatively level ground. If you are intending partaking in water based activities there is access to the water, but it is not direct access and is some distance from the lake.
