So peaceful at Yanwath.
Yanwath Woodhouse
Myself, wife and two Collies have been to Yanwath CL a few times now. This time on booking we learnt that Mr Fisher sadly passed away. Missed him this visit.
Matt greated us on arrival. He left us to set up, and settle in for 2 weeks. No mider go where you want.
So peaceful here. Sadly the weather has been bad this visit. Rain, rain and more rain. We've not let that dampen our Christmas away.
The CL is as it was a few years ago. Tidy, wc clean running cold water, elsan and EHU, what more do you need.
We shall be returning in 2024 without a doubt.
Cheers Matt & Family.
Too many outfits
Yanwath Woodhouse
Arrived for a one night stop on Friday afternoon to find five vans and three tents already on site. Was assured by owner it was ok and we were only there for one night. However through the evening more outfits kept arriving resulting in seven caravans, two motorhomes and three tents. Didn't bother us as we were only there one night but if we had been staying any longer the overcrowding would have forced us to go some where else especially with kids playing and dogs roaming free and not enough space for them. Doesn't seem like it was a one off according to other people on site and other reviews. Wouldn't book this site again.
Still amazing site..
Yanwath Woodhouse
From looking at the reviews, we feel it’s right to give another point of view. We’ve stayed here countless times and it’s always been fabulous.. we were also there when the last reviewer put their review and there were too many caravans at that time.
Everyone is allowed to make mistakes and the farmer had overbooked but there were also 1 or 2 who had arrived and set up without having booked so the genuine ones couldn’t be let down and the farmers son offered to host any just down the track at his site. The farmer has also had a v turbulent times recently so we can fully understand what happened and feel some slack should be given.
The site is amazing, overlooking Lowther Holiday Park and the paths through to Lowther Castle are superb.
There’s many returning people who visit and there’s a v v good reason for that!
A nine-van free-for-all.
Yanwath Woodhouse
There were already six vans on the site when we arrived, so I spoke to the owner's son as I was concerned we would not be allowed to remain, despite booking a month previously. He said not to worry, and blamed his father. Another van arrived that night making eight, one left the next day but another two came the following day, making nine.
The field is quite large, although only two hook-up posts each with 4 connectors, so the ninth van used a solar panel.
The problem was that the ninth van parked too close to us, less than five metres, which meant we felt overlooked, and claustrophobic. Had we been on site when they arrived I would have asked them to move further away, but they were already set up when we arrived back that day. And they were friends of the owner, in and out of the farmhouse, so when I complained to the son again and said the ninth van was illegally positioned and he risked a report to the club, nothing was done. He said he knew they would be in trouble if the club inspector paid them a visit.
This was all such a shame as the field is easily big enough to accommodate nine, if there were more hook-ups, but in the end we were not sorry to leave. In over ten years of using CL's, this is the only site where I felt it necessary to contact the club.
Lowther castle Yanwath woodhouse farm
Yanwath Woodhouse
Great little site, on a working farm. The location is walking distance to Lowther Castle and gardens (~ 1.5 miles) which has some great gardens and highland cows. Its a lovely walk down through the woods and over the river. Theres some nice pubs nearby, bee hive (local boozer) and George and Dragon (posh foody), there was more pubs nearby too, the punch bowl, we missed but looked great. It's not far from pooley bridge (~5 miles) as we popped down for a pint. All in all a nice spot, only stayed 1 night, I'd recommend staying at the top bit of the orchard field if it's been raining. Would happily return, owner friendly and helpful.
