This CL is just lovely. We stayed for a few nights & the site was all we could want. It isn't large, infact it seems very 'compact' BUT this maybe because of the low dry stone walls that surround the site. It is accessed from the farm yard via a gate which is kept shut but not locked.Chicken roam !! Each hard standing pitch has it's own water & electric point. The pitch we had was almost level with only minimal adjustment needed. The views across the hills towards Kendal are splendid and change with the weather..lovely. There are several supermarkets in Kendal with Morrisons & Aldi being the easiest and nearest to the CL ,which at a guess are approx.2-3 miles away.
David,is "on hand" around the farm yard and will help if needed & if he is available. He collects the fees & enjoys a 'chat' when he sees you.
So, what wasn't great? Infact, very little. However, my partner [who is very experienced towing a van] did find putting the caravan onto the pitch more difficult than normal. There wasn't much room to manoeuvre the van easily into position with out encroaching on another pitch. We both agreed that this could prove a problem for a very large outfit especially if most of the pitches were occupied.
The CL is situated 'off the beaten track' along a very narrow surfaced farm road with no passing places hence the advice of 'no arrivals' before twelve. It would be difficult to reverse an outfit should another be met half way along this road!! Although we were arriving earlier than twelve,I had contacted the owner to discuss this and it was agreed that there wouldn't be a problem...fortunately the road was clear !!
This is a lovely well managed CL on a Cumbrian Farm,which has beautiful scenery around it ....what's not to enjoy?
