We have stayed at this site at least twice a year for the past ten years. It is so quiet, clean and beautiful. We have stayed previously in Firs and Briar Bank. As Briar Bank is no longer available we stayed at Apple Tree lodge in August and thoroughly enjoyed it. The views are better than from Briar Bank. The lodge itself is so comfortable with everything you need. The only issue is the decking.

It was so dirty and covered in cobwebs that my husband cleaned it himself. The outside furniture badly needs changing as the table set is shabby and the wicker furniture is uncomfortable due to having

Best ever holiday home park. Been here 15 years already, on our second static. New lake view development on site. Grab your slice of heaven before it's too late! Well maintained, dog friendly, children friendly, with our own alpaca to pet.

Our first visit to Skiddaw view. Absolutely stunning scenery and so peaceful. Site is very clean and cared for. My only other comment is. The lodge that we are staying in (apple tree lodge) needs a bit of TLC looking a bit tired!! New table and chairs would be nice. As these are a bit old!!. No gate on decking so had to use one of the outdoor sofas to block it off. Dog friendly places should have gates. Could be a bit cleaner as I felt I had to wipe down with antibacterial wipes and clean the toilet!! This is not the sites fault. Cleaners should clean properly. Hope it gets checked when

I loved my time at mulberry lodge. The views was amazing. The park had a lovely calm relaxed feel. I LOVE the herb garden. 100% recommend for a quite viewful getaway. Only thing I would have loved it the shop to be open for when you forgetten little things or run out of milk.
