It’s Good for stop over or staying longer to explore the area

A great site if you are just stopping for the night or going to stay longer to explore, there is a great dog walking area through the forest and on site. TV reception on our plot was poor (picture kept breaking up). Small village down the road called Armathwaite has 2 pubs we tried the dukes and found the food and service was very good and some good walks from the village.

Perfect peace

This was our first visit but won't be our last! We loved this site and its peaceful location. We'd like to echo previous reviewers who have said that a toilet/shower block definitely isn't needed. Even though our water pump had broken before we arrived, we wouldn't have wished the site to be any different. The running of the site is a credit to Isobel and Philip and they were both very helpful and sympathetic to the problems we were experiencing. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nice site without facilities

Nice site, very peaceful. We chose pitch 31 which clearly stated liable to flooding (1 of 3 pitches with this warning). I found the EHU difficult to use. The bollard has 3 sockets and you had to flick a trip switch to get it to work. No reference to which switch controlled which socket - I’m concerned I turned off other members EHU. Please fix with some stickers with numbers on

Please stop asking for facilities!!

Great site we need more of these on the network , please don't ask for facilities, the reason this and others like it are so pleasant and peaceful is because by their very nature they're basic , if you want a site with facilities please go elsewhere . Why book a no facility site and then moan about .

5th visit, cannot wait for the next!

We have just returned from our 5th visit to this site as we were due to go at Easter but Covid arrived and everything stopped. I have read several of the more recent reviews and there seems to be repeated comments about this site not having facilities. The comments aren't necessarily negative but I wonder when the website states that there are no facilities, this needs repeating on every review and also that surely the price paid per night during peak is so much less then a site with facilities, what do folk think they are paying for. We prefer the difference in price to pay for more nights away and wish there were more sites like this on the network. I might also add that some clientele are not always respectful with provided facilities and therefore during the current virus crisis, there is no way we would be using shared facilities with strangers. This site always has always provided us more over with the quiet down time needed and this visit although a lot busier then previous visits was no different. There was a host of electrical problems dealt with by the wardens and contractors as quickly as they could. The dog walks from site are endless and the doggy play paddock is a godsend. The grass cutting and hedge cutting was a little excessive, yes grass needs cutting to keep the site tidy looking but the hedges could have been seen to before opening up the site after lock down. I am also curious as to why glass is not recycled separately like plastics and paper etc and is just to be put in with general waste. I also think that sanitiser dispensers could be provided by the water / waste / refuge and elsan points. Yes, this is an extra cost and another job for the wardens but it would also promote personal responsibility to be covid alert and lesson the risk of surface spread. We have had a weekend jolly at a privately run site where this is done with no negative issues at all, in fact most patrons of that site welcomed it. My only real issue again and not just at Englethwaite but network wide is the need for drivers to have a lead foot on the gas pedal and speed around the sites. For some folk though, rules and regulations only apply to everyone else. If you need facilities, playgrounds, public transport, clubhouse, excellent mobile signal or a supermarket within a stones throw then this site is not for you. It will be 2021 sadly before we visit again but we will be back as this is our little haven less than 2 hours journey time from home with easy access and great friendly warden and at affordable prices.

Great location. Lovely staff. Spaced out. Could just do with some toilets but I guess you know that when you book.

Oasis of calm

Beautiful site, very well laid out with lots of space, and beautifully kept gardens. We had gone mainly for the fishing, which was a bit disappointing. there are 3 lakes within walking distance off the site, set in woodland and very pretty. there is only one fishing peg on the largest lake which is not ideal as it is set up high off the water, no way of getting a landing net to the fish. however we had a lovely afternoon sitting in the sunshine fishing. the club does not own these lakes but the permit is bought from the site office. we also had a long walk along the River Eden to see St Constantine's cells and another day walked along Hadrians Wall, both lovely walks and really interesting. it is a dog walkers paradise, with a really good dog walk from the site, plus you can walk off the site through the woods down to the river. we will definitely be visiting again. in fact we have already booked

Peaceful and beautifully laid out

Peaceful site in Eden Valley. Isobel & Joseph are perfect hosts. Beautifully laid out grounds, which is clearly a passion of the hard working gardener. If you like quiet, spacious and attractive sites, with friendly hosts, try out Englethwaite. Great walks in the adjacent plantation and down the Eden riverside to Armathwaite if you don't wish to move your motorhome. We will be back
