You really can't fault the site itself, it's in a lovely spot and idyllic. We have been here several times before and we like it. However... I paid an extra fee for a fully serviced pitch. Unfortunately the position of the caravan in relation to the fresh water tap was miles away and well beyond the reach of our pipes (which were reasonably long) Similarly for the waste water pipes. When I raised this with the reception there was no offer to refund, just a suggestion I could relocate to another pitch. When I pointed out that was not very user friendly for us having just manoeuvred and levelled the van, and having searched around for large rocks to put under the steadies at the rear where the ground slopes away sharply, they then said they could sell me longer pipes to overcome what they admitted were badly placed service points.  So having paid extra for facilities that were unusable, their solution appears to be to take more money still off me. TV reception is advertised as poor and that proved to be the case but there is a TV socket on the electric post. I asked if we could hire a cable to connect it to the TV (which we have done before) but they no longer do that. They offered to sell me one for £15. We got one in Kendal for 99p. Having only this month paid my annual subscription for the first time in 10 years I wondered why I bothered as it feels like I am not so much a member as a sponge from which cash can be squeezed out.  Such a shame that the attitude of the club has tainted such a fabulous site.
