We've booked this site three times this year so far. We like the fact that it is a walk into town - gets the steps on. Great little pub called The Ship a ten minute walk from the site. Then onwards into Coniston with it's lovely cafes and pubs. My husband particularly likes a pint at The Black Bull. Have now walked Coniston Old Man twice and done a couple of the other Wainwrights in the area. Walk out the bottom of the site and you're soon by the lakeside. Coniston is a lot quieter than it's neighbour Ambleside, also quieter than Keswick and Windermere but I think it's a totally different experience - we love it. Site can be shady with the trees and you'll have to select a pitch if you need a satellite signal. Toilets are always spotless. Love the fact it's open all year round - you can't beat a good walk in the Lakes on a crisp winters day.
