Lovely site in a great location

I wanted to explore the North of the Lakes and found this site. It's a great location, with the train line at the end of the entrance road. Although the actual station is a few miles away in either direction. One day we did a beautiful walk along the Eden Valley to Wetheral, a pretty little village with a lovely pub for lunch. As we approached the river we were lucky enough to see 2 otters playing in the river. We could not believe our luck. Another day we jumped on a train at nearby Armathwaite to Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales. The journey was amazing as we travelled through the pennines across to Skipton. I have done the journey many times in a car, but on a train you get a whole different perspective. Loved our stay at Englethwaite Hall. There seemed to be 2 sets of wardens, all were really friendly and helpful. They did an amazing job of keeping the grounds beautiful. Loved the fairy garden, a nice little touch.

Lovely site

Very pretty site, wardens keep the site clean and tidy and the grounds are pretty and well kept. The wardens just seemed to keep the site effortlessly and quietly got on with their job. We loved it here. Approach road a bit narrow but taken carefully it was no problem.

Motorhome service point

The position of the Motorhome service point on this site is very poor . Emptying a modern Motorhome is impossible unless you have hoses and filling is not easy . The road is completely blocked by your vehicle when using the service point. We experienced some hostility from other site users because we had blocked the road . The site wardens answer to this was “they just have to wait” . When we tried to empty in the standard grey waste drain adjacent to our Pitch (58) with our hoses we were chastised by the warden . I got the feeling the warden was not a fan of Motorhomes

Lovely setting

We stayed for one night, on our way to Scotland. Site is in a lovely setting, and it was great to see sheep and sometimes horses, from our window, in the field next to the site. Glad we read the instructions on how to enter the site avoiding roads unsuitable for caravan.

Englethwaite Hall

Lovely peaceful site. We stay here quite often either for one night, on the the way to/from Scotland or for week long stays. The pitches are well laid out and well maintained. There are several nice walks close to the site. The M6 isn't too far away but you can't hear the motorway. Carlisle is near at hand and plenty of shopping. The only problem is that the mobile phone signal and 4G isn't very good. There is no site wi-fi only a small area near the site office.

What a fantastic site

A big thank you to the Wardens who were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The site is extremely well maintained and a great place to spend a peaceful holiday. There are several great walks from the site, in the forest, or down by the river. There is also a fantastic village Pub about a mile away in Cotehill, The Greyhound Inn.

Very quiet and attractive site

Ideal to break long journeys, but equally suitable for a break on its own merits. We stayed for 2 nights in April to break the long-haul back from Scotland. The site is well laid-out with lots of curves and trees to break up the views. Most pitches are not overgrown by trees but it is on the edge of a large woodland area, perfect for walks. A lovely quiet rural area surrounds the site and there is no noticeable traffic noise. Plenty of little villages with pubs available, at least one in easy walking distance, and on the way a local has built a full-scale Spitfire in his garden - a must-see and he will tell you all about it if he's in the garden. Wardens very friendly and helpful on arrival, we will definitely be returning here for a longer stay.

Beautiful Site

My favourite site! Englethwaite is a stunning site. Situated at the side of the High Stand wood which has good walks, especially if you are a dog owner. There is also a large enclosed dog walk. The site itself is lovely and peaceful surrounded by beautiful trees. The wardens have worked really hard on this site. The front of the site office was full of colourful flowers The wardens have also planted flowering shrubs around the site, and Englethwaite now has a 'Fairy Glen' which both children and adults will enjoy. The site has been kept immaculate which is a hard job in Autumn due to the amount of leaves falling! On the downside it would be nice to have more service pitches due to the site having no facilities. Also, as previously mentioned the 5mph speed limited wasn't adhered to. Many thanks again to the wonderful wardens for all their hard work.

A wee gem with a Fairy Glen

Just back from 16 nights at Englethwaite Hall. Had a lovely peaceful stay altho the weather was poor we still managed to get out and about. The grounds were particulary beautiful despite us missing the best of the blooms. beautifully kept grounds by the wardens and the volunteeers. Grass immaculate, flower beds beautifully kept altho not appreciated by some members whose vehicles ran over the lovely slate edging of a new bed near the entrance. Would also like to note the lack of observation of 5mph speed limit. Would also like to mention here how difficult it was to get a continuous booking. Seems that one nighter motorhomers really put a spanner in the works ....perhaps a minimum stay of 2/3 nights might allow long time members a chance of at least a week......Loyalty towards longstanding members like us perhaps. Disappointed that we did not get a seasonal pitch yet again. The wardens were lovely and friendly and helpful.....hope they are still there next season. Hope the Friday night fish and chips will be back on the menu to make a perfect stay. Phone signal and wifi very random and unreliable.
