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.
