Thank you for staying with us Bethan. The new facilities block at Little Acre has just had its first birthday and during the Winter, we're going to finish the complete refurbishment of the other facilities block that we have. Enjoy your touring. Paul & Sarah.

Helpful and friendly staff, Shower/toilet blocks were great. It was close to lots of tourist sites, lakes, trains, museums and stately homes. There was a great pub across road.

Immaculate site, not overcrowded, quiet, easy access from M6.
Site's response
Hi Beverley, I'm glad that you enjoyed a quiet and peaceful time at Little Acre. September is a cracking time to visit the Yorkshire Dale and Lake District from us - everywhere is still open, the weather is (usually) decent and its nowhere near as busy as the Summer months. Paul.

What a lovely little site, right opposite the Crooklands Hotel and on the canal. Lovely walks in the area and ideal for dogs. The site was well maintained, the toilet blocks were immaculate (with shower gel provided too), although you'll need 20p for the shower. Highly recommended.

Very good, ease of access from the 'wonderful' M6 after long drive. It's a quiet site by the canal, with an excellent restaurant a very short walk away. It's a well laid out site, with high quality toilet blocks which were extremely clean. A slightly sloping site, but ramps were provided to level up. We had a lovely email before we arrived which meant we 'knew' the site before arrival. Paul the owner was very helpful. We will be back.

A very nice site and the best facilities I have ever seen. My only concern was the couple next to us allowed their dogs to roam free. We had our dog and he was always on a lead on the site. Other than that, it's a top site and a credit to the owners.

First class, near junction 36 M6, a great place for a stop over or a visit for a week about 6 miles away from Kendal. The site is well maintained and the owner is very helpful, the toilet and shower blocks were recently upgraded. I only stayed a few days, but were thinking of going back next year for a better look around the area.

Lovely, clean, quiet site. Within walking distance to a couple of pub/restaurants (one just opposite, the other about 3 mile away). Excellent, free WiFi. No facilities for young children on site, but within easy reach of Jendal and Southern Lakes.

Hello Sarah, Thank you for the recommendation on Campsites.co.uk following your recent visit and I'm glad that you enjoyed your time with us. Paul & Sarah p.s. as the vast majority of our visitors don't have small children, we don't off any facilities for tinies and don't have any plans to add any in the future.

Stopped off for the night on the way back from touring Scotland. By far the best facilities we've had. Shower and toilets are spotless. Grounds are well maintained and the pitch is perfect size. Wi-Fi is handy for the TV streaming. We had a lovely walk along the canal. Paul is really welcoming and the communication was perfect. Would definitely recommend this site!

This is our second visit to Little Acre this year. We previously stayed two nights in June and just had to come back, as so lovely. We stayed this time for six nights. Lovely owner, Paul, who is so friendly and welcoming. Luxurious facilities, super hot water, shower gel, shampoo/conditioner all supplied, plus cotton buds/balls, hand cream and even nail files! 20p for a 3 minute shower, and worth every single penny. Lovely hardstanding pitches with water and electricity. Plenty of room for our motorhome, awning and tow car. Canal walk right opposite, which is great for our dog. There's currently work ongoing to replace the towpath, which will be great for future walks along the canal and will make it more accessible to all abilities. Site perfectly situated for visiting either Yorkshire Dales and Lake District. Lovely pub/restaurant 5 minutes walk away; we ate there once and food was lovely and generous portions. The village of Milnthorpe is 3 miles away and all shops needed to stock up on food, including a lovely Booths supermarket which we frequented quite a few times. Would also highly recommend a visit to Arnside, which is approximately 6-7 miles. Beautiful, old fashioned, seaside/estuary town, particularly lovely in the evenings with the sunset and highly recommend a pizza in J J Crossfield's. Highly recommend Little Acre and can't wait to return.

We loved staying at Little Acre. The County Show was on in the next field for 2 days and we were able to walk along the canal to the show. Loved everything about Little Acre, top shower block was excellent and exceptionally clean. Our dogs loved their walks along the canal. The owner's were a pleasure to talk to and very helpful. We would definitely be booking again when we visit this area. The Crooklands Hotel was just a short walk down the road, the food was excellent and very busy. Would recommend to book a table.

Stayed at this site whilst visiting friends in the area, which worked out really well. Good site with average size hardstanding pitches and grass area, mainly for tents. Chocks on pitches where they are required was a nice touch and not something I have seen before. One older toilet/shower block and one newer one, all kept clean. Good washing up facility and laundry if required. Crooklands hotel opposite site really nice to have a drink or food, but best to book as was busy all the time we were there. We ate on there one night and they were big portions. Bus stops on main road 5 minutes from site going to Kendal or Kirby Lonsdale. Not very regular service, about every 2 hours. Best to check the 567 stagecoach service timetable if you are using them. We went to Kendal and last bus back is 17.10pm. Paul the owner came to check we were OK and happy with our pitch, which I had specified when booking. All in all, a nice little site and would return again.
Site's response
Hello Marina, Thank you for staying with us recently and I'm happy that I could accommodate the pitch request for your stay. I'm surprised that you've only rated the cleanliness as only 3*'s, when you've made a specific mention that the facilities are all kept clean! Paul
