Have stayed here many times en route to Scotland, but decided this time to spend 5 nights here (and the sun shone). The wardens are very helpful and keep the site in excellent condition. The peaceful site is in a lovely location being in the woods associated with an old gunpowder mill. It is right beside a river which is easily accessible and there are numerous lovely walks along the river or through the woods. Being early May, we had no problem reaching the Northern lakes one day, although in summer I would say the traffic in Windermere and Ambleside might make this journey difficult, but it is a great location for the Southern lakes and only just 3.5 miles off the motorway. For families, there is a play area, but this site would reach the imagination of any child, and great fun would be had in the woods and surrounding area. I would highly recommend this site, but be warned as apparently the site has had some new drains on some of the pitches and we saw one motorcaravan (not a heavy one either) get stuck as the drain collapsed. Message being, avoid the drain covers when reversing onto the pitch.
