A delightfully peaceful site in a superb location. Friendly and welcoming (relief) wardens and the site is maintained to a high standard. Great access to walks in High Stride wood and well located for access to Carlisle and surrounds.
Wonderful site
I find it very sad that many people only use this site for overnights on the way north or south. We had several days here in April/May and it is so calm and peaceful it really deserves more time. The gardens are immaculate, and the secret garden a delight. There is lots to do in the area, from the city of Carlisle to Hadrians Wall to the Solway Air Museum, and so much more.

Lovely and peaceful
Small and peaceful site with nature right on your doorstep, the site had lots of bird feeders and plenty of birdsong as a result, this site is a must for animal lovers with Red squirrels onsite although the hide needs updating.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived which is nice to see.
This is a very relaxing site just outside of the Lake District and would make a lovely base to visit from. We only stayed one night on the way down from the highlands but we wish we had stayed much longer, we will definitely be returning for another longer stay.
Great little site for a stop over on the way to Scotland
We only stayed here one night on our way to the Highlands.
Good pitches, quiet.
Will use it again.
Perfect site, good access and helpful staff.
Spent five nights here recently, and enjoyed some good weather. A short drive out will put you in easy reach
of shops and supermarkets if shopping for food etc. Friendly staff, always busy, and available if you need them.
Great dog walks, especially High Stand wood with its lakes and number of paths.
A pity that some people find it necessary to walk their dogs past the back of your van, even if you are sitting out!!
Excellent
I stayed on this site for 4 nights earlier this month and found it to be truly excellent in every way.
The staff always seem to be working somewhere maintaining cleanliness and appearance to the highest standard, I really cannot fault it just great.
Little Gem
Beautiful little site, lovely warm welcome by the new wardens who held a get together with drinks etc for the Jubilee. Lucky enough to be on a serviced pitch to make up for the lack of a toilet block.
Also lucky again to be pitched within the WiFi Hot spot area and the speed was pretty good.
One area is quite open with plenty of sunshine and countryside views, the others sheltered by trees and lovely bushes.only there for three nights but managed to visit Hadrians Wall and stunning Ullswater which was very busy for the Jubilee weekend.
A hidden gem
Stopped here for one night on our way home as it has easy access from M6. Made most welcome by the warden on arrival. Had a modern serviced pitch set in the middle of the site where the hall once stood. Site is quiet and has a super dog walk, red squirrel viewing hide and an amazing Fairy Glen walk. We were intrigued by the hall’s history of being used as a hospital during the First World War. Remnants remain in the grand stone steps and lime tree avenues. No toilet block, but waste facilities are spread around the site so never too far to use them. We will definitely return for a longer visit.
Peaceful site for a quiet trip
We stayed for 2 nights on our way home from a longer trip in the NE. The site has no toilets or showers so we booked a serviced pitch, which was well-maintained and made things a lot easier. The site is clean and tidy, the views are fab and the wardens are friendly. It’s possible to walk to the pub from the site but takes about 25 minutes at a decent pace. There weren’t many families staying on the site. We are a 30-something couple and we found it to be perfect for us. We had a lovely stay and we will be returning.

Two night stopover
On our way to Dumfries and Galloway. First time here, recommended by a friend as a cracker of a site. Bumpy road access, but fine if you keep your speed down! The site is a gem, despite having no facilities block. Lovely and quiet and the pitches are well spaced and placed. All really well maintained and presented. A credit to the site stall. There are a couple of nice pubs in the adjacent village, both of which serve food. What’s not to like?
