Had a wonderful extended weekend here in the snow! The site staff are wonderful, the facilities are spotless. We had to extend our stay due to the snow but with such a wonderful site with marvellous views, who cares?
New Year
Stayed over the new year and had an excellent time, the site was in its usual great condition, despite the very inclement weather over the past there months. The facility block without doubt is second to non, and immaculately maintained.
My main concern for this site, as I have previously recorded, is the large number of non awning pitches, far more than there were a few years ago. If the dimensions for pitches to be able to accommodate awnings has become larger perhaps it would be prudent to reduce the number of pitches and realign those left to overcome this problem. Having visited this site frequently I suspect the level of occupancy has fallen since this increase in non awning pitches.
FANTASTIC
Stayed at Meathop over the New Year period. Wardens were very friendly and knowledgeable. The warden even helped us pitch up after the dreaded Caravan mover decided to pack up....! Loved the little soiree held in reception on New Years Eve afternoon, which club members shared their own holidays with others. Woodlands Hotel was great on New Years Eve (only a short stroll away) Dogs allowed in the bar there. Toilet/shower block immaculate and up to date. Would definitely visit again, as Cartmel & Grange over Sands not too far to drive to. No flooding at all, site very nicely laid out, we even survived Storm Frank, as site very sheltered.

New year break
Just spent new year at Meathop, site is easy to find and not too far from major routes. Wardens very friendly & helpful. Toilets are very good, they look brand new.
Hotel round the corner (woodlands) has a public bar which was very handy.
Grange over sands is a nice town with a lovely promenade for dog walking ang great views of morecambe bay, Cartmel is only a short drive away and well worth a visit. All attractions of the Lakes within easy access but this part of Cumbria has lots to offer without the crowds of the famous Lakes. Would recommend this site and intend to return at some point.

This is a nice and peaceful site, I stayed there between xmas and the new year.The people who run the site are very helpful and friendly and the amenities are spotless, and the hotel that is literally less than five minute walk away allows non residents to use the bar and restaurant. the site is so easy to get to even with the longest of units. defo a return in the new year.

Exemplary as usual
Meathop is a spotless site with easy access. The Woodlands Hotel made for perfection! and they even remembered us (not sure if thats good or not). We just love this site.
For anybody nervous of going to the Lakes be assured its business as usual, dont let the media put you off. Not everywhere is flooded. They need tourists. The Site Wardens were fantastic and even rung to see if we were ok on route.
Peaceful and Spotless
Meathop is a spotless site easy to get to, great wardens and has been a regular for me and my wife, but also my parents who have been with the club for 20 years, I came here as a boy and have always had fond memories
with easy access to the south lakes but also being in a short journey to windemere and Kendal Etc it has everything you could want
Good location

Autumn stay
Assistant site warden extremely helpful and friendly, giving us good advice as new comers to motor-homing. Site well located and toilet and shower block exceptionally clean and modern.
Lovely weekend.
I love coming here, the site is lovely no matter what time of year, it blew a gale on Friday night but woke up on Saturday to a crisp fresh sunny day. The Woodlands pub is great for a meal or a few drinks and dog friendly. The site is always clean & tidy and the pitches are well spaced.
