Visited recently for 9 nights. Wardens lovely, great location, 30 mins into the heart of the lake district. We usually abandon car once on site but weather was so good we felt obliged to drive north and climb some peaks, Fairfield horseshoe, Scafell Pike, the langdales, Coniston horseshoe, clear as a bell every day. On our off days we rode our tandem to Arnside and Silverdale 42 miles,and up to Wray Castle 43 miles round trips. On our lazy day we walked to Grange but by the time we had explored and collected a few geocaches we had still walked 10 miles by the time we got back to the van. Facilities at the site were superlative and neither of us had to wait to use then throughout our stay. Lots of exploring to do locally but given the superb weather  which forced us north we will have to return to make the most of it, shame. Heartily recommended
