Just the tonic

Stayed mid-November 2021 for 9 nights. Meathop Fell is a lovely site. I found it to be quiet with pitches well laid out and spacious. The site is close enough to the M6 to be really handy and far enough from the A590 to be quiet. The road to the site from the A590 is tight but doable. Nice walk into Grange-over-Sands and a nice walk/cycle on the 70/700 cycle route that runs past the site entrance. We ate at the Commodore Inn in Grange-over-Sands one Sunday lunch and it wasn't great. Also had a meal at the Pig and Whistle in Cartmel and it was delicious. Cartmel itself is a lovely place to visit and is about 14 minutes from the site in the car via A590. For those who enjoy a good stroll I will suggest taking the walk from Harrowslack National Trust Car Park to Wray Castle (the walk took us about one and a half hours each way) along the side of Windermere. All said and done Meathop Fell is a site that I will probably go back to.

Nice well kept site.

Just returned from another short break at meathop, if you want a quiet break within reach of the lakes this site is ideal. you do need transport i would say as the main road and bus stop is about a mile away, our holiday was RUINED due to the butchers in grange over sands being shut (monday) lol, it really is that good. from grange its a 5 minute train to arnside or carry on to lancaster. The wardens do a good job of keeping check in smooth as long as members listen, facilities are kept clean and tidy as are the grounds , woodlands hotel is within walking distance ( 500m ) for drinks and food or take away. looking forward to a return visit.

Fab Views

Reviews - When I read reviews I'm looking for useful information. Meathop is quite a pretty site with some great views. It has lots of open pitches only a few dark tree ones unlike a recent review stated. All the usual great facilities which we don't need to mention. Useful, the bus stop is a bit of a walk, don't wait in the shelter, stand on the main road and put your hand up, otherwise buses will ignore you! Get a One day saver for £7.50, you can go to several places but still a limited service rather disappointing but I had already checked this prior to booking site. The lane to walk into Grange was flooded so that was not possible to do. Woodlands hotel bar, very friendly, allows dogs and had an excellent meal on last night. Dog exercise area good, 2 of them. Disappointing no circular off road walking for dogs, only a couple of linear road walks, yes quiet roads but not ideal. Would not recommend to stay for more than 3 nights if in a Motorhome.

Another Perfect Stay

I stayed here for the second time, in September. The rain was pouring down when i arrived at the same time as several other caravanners. Top marks to the staff who were fast tracking people to their pitches because of the weather and the queue to check in. Very peaceful site and the facilities were spotless. I can recommend Arnside chippy, and you can even watch the bore wave during a high tide. The woodlands hotel next to the site does a good take away too. Pity I never caught the little visitor that came into the awning every night to see what was in the bin! Got to expect that in the countryside I guess. I will hopefully be back in the not too distant future.

Restful quite vacation

My wife and I stayed here in late September, we really enjoyed our stay, we stayed on a service pitch which works really well for us, we have noticed some people use service pitches and still use the site facilities, we think this is a waste, we go on a service pitch so we can use our on board facilities, we had good relationship with the wardens found them really friendly and welcoming, they work hard keeping the site very tidy, that can't be easy when autumn is starting, the site now as a second dog exercise area which is really good, we went to arnside fish and chip shop and we can highly recommend it, it's excellent, approx 12 miles away, we took a thermal bag with hot water bottle inside to bring the chips back in to the caravan,yum yummy, we are definitely coming back here in 2022.

Great site

My wife, son, and I stayed here on an extremely wet and windy October weekend, and it was brilliant. We found the site staff friendly and welcoming, facilities immaculate, and the location great for a weekend after work exploring Windermere and going on towards South Lakes Zoo. I would give the nearby pub the Derby Arms a miss for food, we had a dreadful meal on Saturday night and it seems the bad food experience we had isn't a one-off, that said, the drinks were just fine. Overall, we'd stay at Meathop Fell again I'm sure.

Lovely site

We have stayed at Meathop in our Motorhome twice this year. Very friendly and helpful staff. Facilities are immaculate. Peaceful site in a lovely location. The only negative point was the number of barking dogs. Seems to be a growing problem on many sites this year ( and yes we are dog lovers and until her recent passing our Lab went everywhere with us but we ensured she was never a nuisance to other “ campers” ).

One Night Stop Over

We stayed here for one night in are Motor Home, The site was clean and the staff were friendly. The toilet/shower faculties were clean. We stayed on a hard standing level pitch with electric which was large enough for out motor home. We did not have the opportunity to explore further then the the site, so are unable to comment on what was close to the site. .

Endless strimming spoilt our relaxing morning

Lovely site no complaints. However first word of site description is peaceful. Just endured almost 2 hours of noisy strimming followed by leaf blowing. Yes I Know things need maintenance but it should be limited to half an hour per area.
