A great base for visiting lots of places

I wasn't a great fan of the site layout but it is located on a river which is nice and has an interesting history. What I did like though was the organisation on arrival, despite covid it was handled brilliantly. Also, it's location is great for visiting lots of places easily. Walk to Sizergh Castle and the Strickland Arms, plus the wonderful farm shop near Sizergh. Cycle to Oxenholme station where you can catch a train to Windermere, which we did and also to Kendal, Carlisle and even Scotland! Cycle to Grange over Sands which is a lovely resort. In fact, we weren't there long enough to get to Kendal with so much else to visit!

Lovely site, lots of places to go.

Kendal is an interesting site with small closes of pitch sites spread amongst the trees. As a motor-home user there is only one place to fill the water tank and this entails travelling around the site and out again once you have filled up then back in again to find a pitch. There was a queue of 3 ahead of us so we decided to find our pitch first to reduce our risk of not finding a suitable pitch for our 4 night stay. We chose number 26 which is well tucked away and is in a very quiet setting. The site was full throughout our stay. The band system for controlling numbers in the toilet blocks worked well but we always shower very early in the morning so there was never a wait. No hairdryers in action. Most people seem to be using their on board facilities as much as possible to maintain safety. Plenty of hand sanitizer available to use at toilet blocks in/out. Everywhere was usual high standard and wardens were very pleasant. No shop at the moment although chemicals are available. We walked to the Sizergh Farm shop and cafe once we were set up and had a good lunch. The second day we returned at 9.00am. for breakfast which was also very good. We had booked into NT Sizergh and walked there after breakfast. Lovely gardens but it was too wet to enjoy much more. We visited Penrith for a day with my sister to go to our parent’s grave and enjoyed the town, having an excellent lunch at Woodstone Pizza & Flame Grill in Princess Street. On our final day we walked into Kendal which felt less than 4.5 miles and got our breakfast in a small cafe on the right as we went towards the town centre. The Union Jack Cafe was working very hard to keep afloat and the food was great. Good shopping in the town then we took the 555 bus to Ambleside, back to Windermere then back to the roundabout (Brettagh Holt RA) near the site where the stop is on the sliproad, before walking along the lane back to site. The 555 goes to both Keswick and Lancaster every 30 minutes and is an excellent service. Perfect if you have a bus pass. Great site for a varied holiday and close to the Lakes and Dales. Thanks to the hard working staff.

Really lovely site! Our favourite!

Had a lovely week and really didn't want to come home! Such a relaxing site very well run! Total respect to the amazing wardens who have worked really hard to keep the site safe under these awful circumstances and still smiling and helpful! They deserve a medal! Thank you xx

Excellent first visit

This was our very first trip in our motorhome and the staff were helpful and friendly. The site is beautiful with lovely peaceful walks for our dogs. We only stayed one night due to availability when we booked but we will be back for a longer visit.

Excellent first time out!

Just arrived back from 4 nights stay here. We parked our motorhome up on pitch 74 which was great. Spacious, private and extremely peaceful which is literally what the doctor ordered. From arriving at reception to the moment we left, staff were fantastic. So helpful and friendly offering advice should I need it to set up. Clean and tidy site, well kept. Can't praise the staff enough. Thankyou for a lovely weekend.

Excellent Site

We stayed for 4 nights and loved this site. the setting in the woods was amazing with loads of space between pitches and friendly staff (we enjoyed the treasure hunt). Nearby attractions were only a short drive and we will definitely be back.

First time stay at this lovely site

After a horrendous journey up the M6 in torrential rain, it was lovely to receive such a warm welcome from the site staff. The site is split into small cut de sacs and you have the choice of pitching with other units or on your own. We thought it was a really lovely site and will definitely be back either before they close this winter or early spring next year. Unfortunately we only had one night here on the way home, but really enjoyed the stay and thought it was a beautiful site. Very interested in the old gunpowder works and hope to do the tour on our next stay. Facilities are as you expect on a club site and were spotless. Wardens do fantastic job of keeping the site clean and tidy given that it is in a forest. Highly recommended.

Won’t be back.

We arrived later than expected and perhaps that’s why we got a horrid site at junction of 3 roads. As is usual with this Club one is told where there are spaces but by the time you get there it has been taken. Very difficult site to drive around, tracks going every which way. Was pleased we had only booked for one night. Will definitely not stay here again.
