"Stunning"

Wallthwaite
We stayed at this site for five nights mid april, on our way to Scotland for a tour of the highlands, to be totally honest we could quite happily have satyed where we were. It's a dream of a place to stay , the views were amazing all around, and watching the sheep with their lambs was so relaxing. Phillip the owner was charming as well!! will definately be looking forward to spending more time here. Thank you for letting us stay, if you like peace and tranquility in a rustic rural countryside setting, this is for you.

cracking site

Wallthwaite
We Spent 5 nights at this site over Christmas 2022. we thoroughly enjoyed our time, it was everything we were looking for. Quiet, peaceful, fantastic scenery and great walks. Philip (the owner) was very helpful and very pleasant. This is a working farm so you need to ensure your dog remains under control but there are plenty of areas they can run without worrying other animals and Philip happily provided information on where we could go for walks. There is also an excellent pub within a 20 minute walk as well as a cycle route straight into Keswick. We will definitely come back again.

Great site with amazing view

Wallthwaite
After staying for 8 nights we are pleased to say how much we enjoyed the site. We have stayed at Wallthwaite in December almost every year from 2009, but missed the last couple of years due to Covid-19 restrictions and concerns. The site has barely changed from when we first stayed. The amazing views of Blencathara are always different as the weather changes. There is a new stable block from which the inquisitive horses like to watch your arrival or departure. There are new owners, but it is as lovely as it has always been. There are all the necessary things for a CL – fresh water supply, somewhere to empty the waste and electric hook-up. It is well worth remembering that when the overnight temperature is -8C the fresh water tap will freeze. This is not a major issue as the owner is more than happy to provide an alternative source of fresh water. For a working farm the site is very peaceful. It probably helps that it is a sheep farm and not a dairy farm. We did enjoy watching the sheep from the caravan while we were having breakfast along with the little robin. For many years now I have always checked the cost when booking as the website often doesn’t have the up to date price. I do wonder how much of this may be to do with issues getting the website updated. At £17.50 per night we felt that we had good value, particularly when it was so cold overnight. We enjoyed the stay and were made to feel welcome by the new owners. Thank you.

Idyllic site

Wallthwaite
An absolutely lovely CL. Tranquil yet we'll located for 'fleshpots' of Threlkeld and Keswick with the best view of Blencathra. We'll be back.

Long weekend

Wallthwaite
Lovely picturesque site. Visited with 8ft wide van. Entry is a bit tight but got in ok. Arrived in the dark so that made things appear worse getting in safely. Exit during daylight was much easier. We saw the farm dog which wasn’t fastened up as in previous review and it certainly wasn’t emaciated. Owners were polite. Just surrounded by beautiful views, sheep in the fields. Very tranquil and peaceful. Would definitely return.
