fantastic location

Shoulthwaite Farm
We were here about 10 days ago, and loved every minute. There's a stream and waterfall directly behind the site, so the small amount of road noise is drowned out with the tranquil sound of running water. Its a simple site, but has everything you need. Access was no issue. My only criticism is that the lower pitches have lost their definition with the grass taking over, and with a motorhome you need to be careful that you aren't on the grass or you could get stuck. This aside, the views are fantastic, and this location is great for so many walks and villages within less than an hour. The site was fully booked the whole 10 days we were there, and I'm not surprised. Big supermarkets are in Cockermouth, but there is a Coop with parking in Keswick. The stone circle is worth a look, especially as the ice cream van was on site whilst we were there. Be careful if you use whitemoss carpark Ambleside- we didn't as I saw loads of reviews with people being over charged. You have been warned .....as they say, We would definitely come back again, as we loved the peace and quiet with the most amazing views, from the site. Thank you, from Beagles on Wheels and the camping cat.

A lovely CL

Shoulthwaite Farm
The location makes this site a beautiful place to visit places in the north lakes. If you appreciate the characteristics of a good CL, you'll like this site. There's a tap, hook-up, waste disposal and recycling. Access to the site is easy and there's plenty of space between pitches. Two pitches are slightly raised so if you have a 4 x 4/low ration, pitching on those will be a breeze, it'll otherwise be okay. Pitches are not lined up so you're not looking at each other. TV reception was okay for BBC and there's enough 4G to stream programmes. The farmer is friendly and relaxed - ideal for a CL. He's a busy chap. There are quiet walks/runs from the site in most directions. There’s a tearoom two miles away at Low Bridge End Farm and a pub just down the road (2.5 miles, King’s Head Inn). If you could keep this and other reviews secret, I might have a chance of getting booked on again for another visit.

Amazing Views

Shoulthwaite Farm
We stayed here at the beginning of May. The site was easy to find and the pitch we used was level. The views were beautiful and Keswick was a shortdrive away. A real gem. We hope to return.

brilliant

Shoulthwaite Farm
Spent 12 nights here. It is a beautiful site with fantastic views. the pitches are a little uneven but we got set up quite easily. We made the mistake of going on one of the raised pitches which meant lugging full water barrel up the hill. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you
