Reviewer: Trampervan 5 reviews from this member

After 9 years of static caravan ownership on this site we have decided to sell up, the site is very large and could do a lot better if the present owner invested in it. But in saying that some of the site facilities are good if not a bit tired and the staff are all excellent. Drainage has always been a problem as mentioned in other reviews.

Dont think I will go back.

We stayed in the buttermere chalet +, our group had 4 adults & 4 children & we absolutely loved it!

The chalet was very clean with 3 big bedrooms & a comfy sofabed in the lounge area, fully fitted kitchen with everything you need & bathroom with shower & bath, the living area was large & airy, we had a fenced outdoor area with decking around the hot-tub & picnic bench all pathed & private. Overall the chalets could do with being updated, but as I say perfectly clean & usable!

In the main areas there's a lovely indoor swimming pool & gym (could do with an update, but still clean & enjoyable) fab arcades, pool tables etc, good bar areas & plenty of outdoor seating. The kids soft play is good with ballpools slides etc.

The outdoor park is really good too with zipslide, slides, swings etc, large sand pit & crazy golf! There's a large night club area & also an over 18s bar along with another main sports bar with flat screen tvs for sports etc! Also a launderette if needed?

There's a little farm where there are many free roaming animals pigs, deers etc,also a golf course, the little corner shop has everything you need & is reasonably priced

Don't listen to the bad reviews its much better than they make out, I was worried about going when I saw the bad reviews but we all honestly loved it & will be going back!

I highly recommend a chalet with a hottub. The kids (& adults) loved it, so if you can afford the extra do!

I stayed here with my 1.5 year old daughter. I found as previous posts have stated that it could have done with a spruce up and to be fair some of the entertainment facilities were being renovated while we were there.
However it did not detract from the fun we had on site, the pool was great, as was the kids entertainment including the indoor soft play area (cost extra) that was invaluable when it rained.

We loved the farm (some of the animals were a bit old and desheveled but obviously cared for, we met the keeper every morning and helped him feed) The train was fun and the location of the site is very good for getting into the village.

The only down side I found was that it was quite away from other tourist sites, we did go to the ostrich farm near by and loved it. Over all I would definitely recommend this site for families with children of all ages, but if youve not got kids you might want to give it a miss. I will go back.

2nd time been to this campsite, first time in a tourer liked it so much stayed the season. 2nd time in a tent we stayed at this site, found the toilets clean and tidy plenty to do. Went to kite festival in village. Recomend fish shop Johns Place, try mince patties their huge. Only downside, got bit off midges but didnt spoil the holidays would go back again soon.

Have just returned from 5 day camping at this site. The surrounding area is absolutely brilliant if you are into peace & quiet. The site is ideal for use as a base to visit the Lake District. After reading other reviews I did not have high expectations of this site & this pretty much summed up my experience.

Took 4 attempts to get a pitch with electric hook up (booked months in advance!) as other units already setting up - this resulted in numerous visits back & forth to reception before we decided to tour round the site and find our own pitch. Again, creating further visits to reception to advise where we were now pitching.

Toilet & shower facilities are very basic & not exceptionally clean. Paid £5 deposit for key - showers are on timers and turned off after 30 seconds. Sauna was the size of a small garden shed & the one sunbed (solarium) was out of order.

Paid £4.95 for each pass which no one requested to look at. Noise levels were pretty ok despite being the bank holiday weekend. Pitches were a generous size and well marked out although not quite even which when camping in a tent can prove problematic if it rains.

Despite this, I would return to this site, purely for the location.

Reviewer: Chaz451 2 reviews from this member

Good value site three nights bank holday £41.

Could do with another shower block but clean and tidy. Site okay for a weekend, not sure if a week would be advisable.

Club's okay as well, good entertainment. Would go back.
