Lovely views of Blencathra, also we were so lucky with the weather for our week there.  Good location for the northern Lakes though with easy connection to Ambleside and Bowness.  The toilet blocks are rather old and tired - perfectly clean but need updating.  With no mobile telephone signal (O2) and no Club wifi, there is a real problem of staying 'connected'.  We needed to go to Penrith to get e-mails and necessary information.  The Troutbeck Inn, just up the road, remains highly recommended for excellent food and a memorable meal.  This site needs some investment to bring it up to normal Club standards, but otherwise is fine.
