Beautiful unspoilt environment, natural landscape. The tents were pitched away from the camper vans which was lovely.
Friendly peaceful campers in a lovely atmosphere.

Weekend Trip to The Damson Shepherd's Hut
It was an outstanding stay at Jo's place. It was everything we wanted - quiet, peaceful, and very pretty. This was the ideal Lakes location.

Lovely host, travelled from south west England to do the NC500 and this campsite has every essential you could possibly need. Would have loved to stay longer! Gorgeous peaceful spot next to the river.

The site has fantastic views and lots of space for children to play. We had a mighty thunderstorm on Saturday with spectacular lightening. Lynne came to check on her campers in the rain, to make sure we were alright. Very thoughtful 😊

Bierhope Alpacas is one of the kind. The site is great, away from any modern living noise. The host, Lynne, is absolutely amazing, we felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. She honestly felt like family, nothing was too much trouble and she was very accommodating. The pitches are clean and very big. Clean facilities, alpacas, and the honesty shop has everything you might have forgotten..... And ice cream!!! What I'm trying to say is this is one of the best camp sites we have visited and I would recommend it to anyone.

We booked a pitch for one night, but couldn’t make it overnight in the end. The host Lynne was very understanding and lovely. We did come the following day to feed the alpacas which my son loved! And Lynne was extremely welcoming! Will definitely come back for the full experience!

Kestrel Lodge is a friendly campsite with lots of little touches to make it an excellent base for a base camp or a one stop. There are thoughtful open anytime honesty boxes filled with useful things you might need or have forgotten - payment into the box or by card when reception open. There's a washing machine, wet room and phone chargers for use too - alongside nice loos and showers. If you have a dog the separate exercise field if fabulous. The location is superb for Skiddaw, the north-western fells and hidden gems like Dash Falls. All in all highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Chilled Out Adult Only Glamping
Lloyds meadow what a beautiful place! As soon as we got here Sarah made us feel very welcomed showing us around and explaining everything that we needed, the bell tents were so clean and cozy. I can now see why the bed is award winning as I had the best sleep ever it was so comfortable! Little touches as ringing the bell for any help and bringing us fire wood whenever we needed it made us feel at home and welcomed. Lloyds meadow is the perfect get away and I would definitely highly recommend to anyone, it’s close to Chester town and has lovely bars and cafes nearby! Cannot fault in any way! Thankyou for having us, will definitely be coming back again! P.S we also made friends with the neighbours they were very welcoming also!!! ( the ducks & goats) xxx Beth and Dec

This is a lovely campsite. The location is peaceful, the fields are spacious and there is a good distance between tents. The fire pits and availability of wood is a very nice touch. The hosts are great, really helpful and friendly. Facilities are clean and in nice condition. We have been back and will return.

A really lovely site, facilities are perfect and the views are fantastic. Loved the communal fire pit where you can sit and meet fellow campers. Also there is a pub within walking distance which was a bonus. Fully recommend, I will return.
