Amazing Views
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
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
Beautiful location close to Keswick
Not far from A591 but no traffic noise. Beautiful surroundings and lovely walks from site. The CL is on a rustic farm but has some hardstandings and electric. Friendly old farmer. Great place to experience the Lake District.
Laid back approach
This is our third time here for one or two nights each time. This is our go to site in the lakes. Down to earth farmers run the site. It is rough and ready, but that is part of the charm. Yes, there were 7 units on site this time, but we were thankful to be accommodated. There was no overcrowding. We have been on other sites with 5 units which were much more crowded. Stunning views all round and easy access to Keswick and south to Grasmere etc
Beautiful views and friendly welcome
We just spent 9 nights here and loved every minute. The views are beautiful, the stream running alongside is the only noise and it's fairly easy to get to Keswick and also Grasmere & Ambleside. Walks from the site or a short drive, and the fells all around you. Bus stop at the end of the drive.
The site is grassy but hardstanding pitches which was helpful in the wet and the owners were really welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. Definitely one to return to.
A lovely, relaxing stay
We have just returned from a lovely week's stay at this certified location. Very peaceful place with lovely, friendly owners and amazing views of the surrounding hills. Easy to reach off a main road. Babbling stream running behind the site. Despite the rain, the pitch drained really well. We fed the visiting red squirrel each morning with monkey nuts. Turn right out of the site to get to Thirlmere which is a lovely walk/ride around. Turn left out of the site to walk into Keswick. Regular bus service in both directions. We had a very relaxing stay and we will be returning again next year.
Cracking site
Very easy to find. Spacious with lovely views, peaceful and quiet. Loved the sound of the stream with waterfall running beside site. About 3 miles from Keswick with shops & pleasant gardens. Unfortunately the walking paths from the site are still closed & will be until October, at the earliest!

Closed paths
As has been said before the site isn't where the Caravan Club map shows which makes a difference at the moment. United Utilities is putting in a new pipeline along the main road which has blocked off the footpaths from the site. There is a way to get to Naddle but it entails walking aling the road. If you want to walk the other way, to Thirlmere, thats blocked as well with no access to Thirlmere. The Naddle side should be open by Easter but as United Utilities is worse than useless with its information I've no idea about Thirlmere. Such a shame as it spoiled the visit. Also, if it's cold the tap freezes so you have to traipse up to the farmhouse for water. Why do sites open in winter but don't put a tap somewhere frost-proof. There are three barns, some with water, but no inside tap. My overall rating of the site hasn't been affected by the paths issues as these are temporary.
Excellent site
We have just returned from a memorable week here. The site is quiet and plenty of space between the vans. The scenery is beautiful and there are plenty of peaceful walks from or near the site. We found the regular bus service from the end of the lane excellent. One way takes you into Keswick and terminates by a Booths supermarket, the other way gives access to Grasmere, Ambleside and even as far as Kendal and Lancaster. Saves a fortune on parking fees and much more relaxing than trying to find parking space!
