We arrived on 15 April and received a warm welcome at the well organised Reception. We were able to take an excellent pitch within easy walking of the ablutions. I have never seen such clean and well appointed loos and showers - they were spotless and the showers piping hot. The shop was well stocked and we enjoyed ice cold Coke and a couple of Magnums. The whole extensive site was well maintained. The site is located on an old Gunpowder works which adds colour to the place. There are guided tours by the National Trust as well as a handy guide which can be borrowed (50p) from Reception. Kendal is but 30 mins away by bike and there are great walks to Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall. The Farm Shop and Cafe linked to Sizergh is a particular treat. At £30 a night this was not cheap but you get the quality you pay for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
