Funny how tastes change!
Many years ago when we were working this site was our go to site when visiting the lakes, usually at Easter and for a weeks holiday in Autumn. Loved it. Our dog had plenty of room on the numerous dog walks to run free and many a time we've walked to Sedgemoor or Kendal along the river Kent. The quirkiness of the pitching arrangements also held appeal with nooks and crannies to place oneself.
All these things still exist but on a one night stop recently we found that nearly all of the pitches had too much greenery around it and particularly overhanging them. As it has been known to rain on the odd occasion in the Lakes one finds a constant dripping to be annoying. Why isn't this stuff cleared from overhead? In addition the proliferation of trees gave a claustrophobic feel to the site. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing trees and shrubs on CC sites but this site had too many, for us anyway. I'm sure full sunshine would find it difficult to break through certain areas of the site. In addition a lot of pitches are not flat and are awkwardly placed.
All the usual amenities are catered for and of course the Lakes are sublime but like all CC sites in the Lakes you are sited on the edge and have to travel to get into the heart of them. I'm sure many members will find no fault with the site as we once did but we'll be stopping elsewhere, probably on a CL, next time we want a quick stopover when travelling on the M6.
