Camping Pod - PodNov 2024

This is the second time we have used this pod. We used it this time, as last year, for a visit to Workington on the Saturday. It is also situated quite close to Ravenglass and we paid a visit to the railway on our way home. The facilities on site are excellent and very clean. It is quite a small pod, so two or three nights is probably enough, but we were very comfortable and warm. I was with my brother, who is almost seventy, (we had been to a football match when our local team were playing Workington) and he found the high step to get in and out of the pod a bit difficult. He did manage though and we enjoyed our stay. The who stayed section does not really cover us, so I have gone for the nearest, as I cannot post the review without it.

Single Axle Caravan - Medium Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

The campsite was very clean, well kept and had the most amazing views. The site wardens, Bruce and Sandy were absolute angels, they were very accommodating and effective communicators. We're most definitely visiting again before the end of the year. A nice little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the West Midlands.

Welcoming and relaxing

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

The facilities were exceptionally clean, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We were very unfortunate with the weather, arriving just before a storm. The hosts were thoughtful and offered us a less exposed pitch, which we were very grateful for.
