If you want real peace and tranquility but still within easy reach of all the Lake District attractions then this is the place for you. We arrived here three days ago and only intended a two night stop but we are going to stay a few days longer as its lovely. It is extremely quiet, you could hear a pin drop here in the dead of night if there is no wind. Lovely views and walks from the site. Michelle my Wife, did High Dam the other day which you can do directly form the CL (Small tarn / lake and summer swimming spot up in the hills). We are in a 7m motorhome but we carry a scooter on the back so its ideal for us to travel around some of the most stunning areas in the Lakes. Just a 15 min ride to the ferry across Windermere, Hawkshead, Amblside, Consiton etc all in easy reach as are to the south Cartmel and Grange over Sands. The roads here though between Coniston and Windermere are narrow and take a bit of getting used to but we are finding our way now. Please please please though take notice of the carefully provided instructions from Anne and David and follow them to the letter (very easy really) as to how to get here and do not rely on the sat nav. The road from the south up to the CL is totally fine though as long as you stick to it. Its a very quiet road and in the four miles or whatever it is from the main road we never met a single car but it wouldnt have been a big issue if we had. Spot on! We will return for sure.
