Beautiful location, lots to see and do nearby
Just spent a nice Easter break at this site. Wardens friendly and efficient and keep everything in good order, very spick and span.
Access to the site is steep and winding at one point but is worth the hairy few moments once you are past them and on site.
Site location is very good for visits to many places in the South Lakes.
We only had time to visit Kendal and Grange over Sands on the Sat and Sunday. Unfortunately the excellent fish n chip shop at G -o-S recommended to us was closed on the Sunday.
On our arrival day Friday, we stayed on site and had a walk round to the Woodlands Hotel for an early evening meal.
The service was very good but food a tad expensive for what it was I thought. I'd probably go again but choose something like the fish and chips or similar rather than the peppered steak (which was very chewy for the £18 price) with hindsight the F&C looked better value for money at about £7 cheaper if my memory serves me right.
We have booked to stay on this site again in the summer but will bring a car as that will make travelling around the South Lakes a little less challenging than in the larger motorhome.
We stayed here a few years ago and enjoyed that stay just as much but I was probably to lazy to review it.
One concern I do have is that there are quite a lot of trees which will be in full leaf by then.
I just hope this doesn't become akin to Park Coppice where we stayed there once but never again as the trees just cover the site so much that in certain areas you feel like you are staying in a forest which makes it very dark and gloomy.
At Meathop Fell there are so many lovely views it would be such a shame to hide them.
Aware of the problems with the WiFi we ensured we had brought along our own portable dongle. Both that and our phones are on 3 network and the connection was excellent.
Thank you Caravan Club and the current team at Meathop Fell for providing us members with such a lovely well kept site to stay on.
