I stayed for the first time at Meathop Fell with my dog in March.  The weather was fine but windy but the site and fellow vanners were great, helping me to take the awning down and offers to help put it up in the first place.  The Woodlands Hotel staff were friendly and the food excellent.   The location is easy to find, handy for the Southern Lakes and made for a good start to my year. The wardens were very helpful when my arrival was delayed and work  hard to keep all the facilities looking fabulous. I look forward to staying here again and can recommend it unreservedly.
