Just a stop off for us.

We used this site for one night only on our tour of Scotland. It was lovely, very quiet and the warden was very helpful as we hired a motor home (being caravan owners) everything was slightly different and she explained how things operated. The warden also helped when my cycle required the handlebars tightening providing tools needed. We would go back again especially if there were a toilet block.

A gem of a site

We loved this site. Although it was full and many people were coming just overnight it was so quiet and peaceful. The grounds were beautifully kept and yet we did not feel regimented in any way. We have two energetic dogs so were very impressed by the very large area fenced off for dogs to run in, very useful for first thing in the morning. The site is adjacent to Forestry Commission so there were plenty of longs walks as well. There are no onsite facilities so perhaps not the best site for families to stay for a holiday but it is quite close to Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall and the Solway Coast. The only problem, not the sites fault, were the roadworks that necessitated a detour to find the site. Please don't ignore the info on the website about the best route to take as the diversion signs sent us up a closed road and it was very hard work to turn around!

On the way to the Open Golf

Stopped her for 2 nights on our way to Royal Birkdale for the Open Golf. Had never visited this site before and as we were making our way down the M6 thought it would be a good stopover point. What a lovely peaceful place! The wardens were off for a week so 2 relief wardens were on duty. They were extremely pleasant and clued in to the area and gave us a few tips on where to go. 2 days was not nearly enough to do everything we would have liked so will definitely be back, probably before not too long. Had a good bike run to Armathwaite which is a lovely village not far from the site and a nice pint in Wetheral on the way back. We do enjoy the sites on the network without toilet blocks as we have all our own facilities. The site was extremely well kept but still had a lovely country feel to it. If you want a bit of peace and quiet this site is recommended.

Excellent!!

This was our first visit and it definitely will not be our last. Used the site as a base whilst walking Hadrian's Wall National Trail. Friendly and helpful wardens. Plenty of walking from the site. Some lovely pubs in the immediate area. Site well maintained - no facilities but we knew that when we booked!! Our only comment - the revised directions given by the club in relation to the ongoing roadworks at Wetherall are 'over the top'. They added at least 20 minutes to our journey (traveling from the north) and could have easily taken us down through Cotehill for a left turn at the cross roads.

Wonderful again!

We struggled to book online due to website maintenance last weekend but finally managed as we fancied a very last minute few days away. Booked Saturday to arrive Monday but had missed the site warning advice about local roadworks and diversion routes. Received however, a lovely unexpected phone call from the wardens on Sunday advising us of the roadworks issue and then explaining exactly how to reach the site via the diversions. We have visited the site on 2 previous occasions so had no problems with either the diversion or access to the site but I do want to mention that the wardens phone call was above and beyond customer service and over the week we have spoken to other site users that said the same. If the roadworks, which I may add is not the Caravan and Motorhome Club's fault are worrying anybody on booking or cancelling then this is not necessary, the diversion is perfectly fine what ever size unit you are driving, just as in any rural area, you take it steady. If you are not capable of taking your foot off the accelerator or do not know how wide your vehicle is then you should give rural sites a miss entirely rather than complain to the Wardens who really are trying there best to warn everyone and put them at ease about the diversion and actually it does have no affect on journey time and the alternative - normal route is much the same as the diversion in our opinion anyway. Onto the site itself, fabulous wardens, friendly and extremely approachable. The site is immaculate and pitches are of a high standard. No washroom facilities means we use our MH facilities, that's what they are there for and that's why the site fee's remain nominal. It also states on all literature that there are no washroom facilities so read the small print and you won't be disappointed. There are pitches in open area's and under tree's, plenty of room in between and also water and waste disposal points at well positioned points around the site. Will visit again, no negatives from us at all with the site and again, huge thanks to the Wardens working tirelessly to assist people with the roadworks diversions in the area and also keep a beautiful site in tip top condition. See you again soon hopefully.

We're hooked.

first time back after 20 years and it didn't disappoint. Even the weather was great. Lovely Easter. Ideal walking from site, miles in the woods ideal for dogs. We first came on a trip o Scotland and it was a convenient 2 night stopover. Now we've moved to Western Lakes its perfect, just over an hour away. . Pitches are level but the site is not flat and boring every pitch has a different view. The Eastern Lakes gets the best weather being sheltered. (Shhh its a secret). This is not a stopover site it deserves visiting for much longer stays to explore the area. We're hooked

Another lovely stay

Another return visit and just as peaceful and good as ever. The wardens are excellent and the Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday was fun, even if slightly wet! So much to do around the site and our Cairn terrier Mack loves the dog paddock and many walks in the woods! If the owner of Bracken (Cairn Terrier) wants to get in touch then please do so!

Keep coming back!

This site is a peaceful haven with spacious, well maintained pitches and pleasant views. We have previously been on a seasonal pitch here but last year and this April we restricted ourselves to a week on a serviced pitch. If you want to see the more popular and busier parts of the Northern Lake District it is an easy drive but this area is a delight in itself. We get a bit of retail therapy at nearby Carlisle or up the M6 to the retail outlet at Gretna but otherwise enjoy relaxing locally. The Queens Arms at nearby Warwick on Eden is definitely worth a visit and the farm shop at Hayton has the best meat pies you will find anywhere to either eat in or take away. The local dog rescue centre also has a small café which allows dogs in too. This site is a popular choice for breaking the journey to or from Scotland but it is definitely worth having a longer stay.

Love this spot.

Did a couple of one night stopovers in March and April, en route to and returning from the North of Scotland. We really love this spot, it's so peaceful and just what we needed. Lack of toilet block isn't a problem for us. We'll be back for sure, maybe for a longer stay.
