Away from it all.

We have just spent 2 nights here and had a relaxing and peaceful break. The site seems rather small at first sight but the 5 all hard-standing pitches are well laid out and fairly private despite being quite close together. There is an electric hook-up for each pitch and a shared water point and grey water grid. The toilet, chemical disposal point and bins are down a short path towards the owners' house. The site is right next to the road but there is little traffic and it is very quiet day and night. We had no problem entering or leaving the site with our 6.3 metre long caravan and think it would be fine for all but very large outfits. The owners are friendly yet not intrusive and have taken a lot of trouble to add the little extras that make a huge difference to a site, such as a bench overlooking the amazing views and a grassy hollow with a picnic bench and an open fireplace for barbecues etc. We particularly appreciated the laminated instructions for local walks along the many public footpaths in the area, which were detailed and easy to follow, and the very informative things to do / places to go sheet, all obviously written from personal experience. Despite seeming to be in the middle of nowhere, the village of Broughton-in-Furness with cafes, pubs, an assortment of independent high quality food shops, a petrol station and a Tourist Information Office is under 3 miles away and Coniston Lake and village are about 7 miles in the other direction. In the summer there is a bus service (2 or 3 times daily I think) to both these places (and beyond) which will pick you up and drop you off at the campsite gates - timetables are in the Toilet / information room. This was our first visit but we will definitely return especially as the site has the advantage of being open all year.
