Highly recommend and would love to go back.SSaraGroup
- Avg. price/night: € 140.588.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 1,586 reviewsBreakfast was not inclusive with our stay, but we were so impressed with the breakfast on the first morning, that we didn't look for anywhere else. Their Eggs Benedict was exceptional. The flat rate breakfast fee of £10 for non-inclusive residents, worked out cheaper than casual diners selecting breakfasts from the same menu. It was great value for money. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. The village is extremely peaceful and quiet at night time, and we felt very safe walking the dog in the early hours of the morning.

HollyGroup - Avg. price/night: € 46.868.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,049 reviewsThis is a hostel/glamping site. They offer some evening meals and limited breakfast but there is also well equipped kitchen on site to cook your own food and fire pits to cook on too. Plenty showers and toilet facilities kept clean. It is not safe to go walking from the site but with a car it’s location is fantastic for so many Lake District popular places. Site closes for winter at end of October.

The grounds are very pretty and in a great location. We felt safe enough on site, and other guests were respectful of each other. Breakfast and dinner included and of good quality, if needed.
