Owners took us away for a short break to Englethwaite Hall for the first time this year. It was even better than last year. We now have an enclosed dog walk in which we can run around in. Doggy heaven. Owners say usual high quality of everything about the site and superb management by the Wardens. We suspect this won't be our last visit this year. Greatest! S&D????

Just spent 10 nights at this site. For us it was a 195 mile trek north but worth every mile we travelled. Both sets of wardens, stand-in and full time were extremely pleasant and helpful. The site is the most tranquil we have stayed at on the system so far. It is miles from the M6 motorway and any main roads. It is immaculately maintained despite the fact that there are very large areas of grass to be mown. It is well positioned to take advantage of all that Cumbria has to offer, both coastal and inland. We had little difficulty filling our days during our stay. There are no toilet and shower facilities, but in a way, that adds to the charm of the site. Most of the visitors were, or appeared to be retired. There are no playground facilities for children. Depending on where you live, if you miss this site, you`ll miss a gem. We certainly felt it was worth the `beat` up the M6. We did decide to leave a day early. Being frequent travellers along this motorway we know its congested times, and Sunday would have been one of them. We therefore opted to return home on Saturday afternoon which was a good call because the traffic,in the main, was light. Just a tip for anyone travelling along the M5 or M6 (though this may not ALWAYS happen), do it late ish on Saturday afternoon.....not so much on the roads.....think about it.....those who are going away will have reached their destination, and those going home will also be there. Don`t tell everyone!!
One last thing, the advice from the club is to not exceed 35 mph on the approach to the site. Ignore it at your peril. That`s not to say that the road is poor; it is undulating and there are a number of `blind summits` so be careful. In one place in particular, you`ll find this out for yourself, there is a short but severe dip in the road around which are numerous grounding scars. Take it easy and it`s no bother. Don`t let the approach put you off. What a site!
