This site is in a perfect location for walking the fells and the laundry room is very useful for keeping on top of your washing. We prefer the hardstanding pitches over grass as they drain when it rains and don't get muddy. The pitches are nicely spaced, you don't feel on top of each other. The Wardens are very hardworking but always cheerful and friendly. The toilet blocks are kept scrupulously clean even when the site is full of families. The visiting fish and chip van is very good. The site is a good distance away for food shopping in Keswick and there are lots of National Trust properties to visit nearby. Ambleside and Grasmere are good places to spend a day, lovely traditional pubs, also Windemere where there is Lakeland shop, a super place for lunch or afternoon Tea as they do Gluten free food. There is some noise from the Activity Centre next door but it is not awful, and if you are out during the day you won't be bothered by it. The dog walk is good with a supply of free bags attached to the poo bins.
