We have just returned from our 4th visit to the wonderful site that is Englethwaite Hall. We can never find fault here and would go as far as saying, for us and what we want and need out of a break away, this ticks every box and remains a firm favourite. It was nice to see last years wardens are still here also and they remembered us also. They are the friendliest we have met on the network and nothing is too much trouble. Reception has restricted opening hours which are clearly advertised on the door. The small amount if groceries in offer is more than adequate for those forgotten basics or a treat. The only little snippet of negativity we have is that roadway near the entrance / exit is slippy underfoot. This is owing to the tree cover and obviously gets covered in tree sap and probably never gets entirely dry. We were in good solid walking boots and both noted the lack of grip. Not sure how it could be facilitated but a good pressure / jet wash to remove the grime and sap would be beneficial and make the potentially hazardous surface, less so or perhaps a good prune of the trees to enable natural daylight through to dry the road off. We do love this site, the many dogs walks, access to villages, towns and the county city is very easy as is the 10 mins drive off the M6.
