The Quiet Site

A brilliant site. Staff very friendly & helpful as soon as you arrive. Clean & warm shower block & toilets. Shop & bar very good & a great little pizza place open every evening & breakfast rolls in the morning. |Beautiful scenery & loads of walks you can do. A long way to public transport especially if you haven’t got a car|We stayed in our campervan for a couple of nights. The pitch was perfect with electric hook up. Very peaceful this time of year. |Will definitely be back

Wonderful spot and worth staying several nights! Fantastic facilities including warm bathrooms, a lovely kitchen, fantastic pub on site as well as pizza/breakfast bar. Lots of thought gone into eco concerns - at the same time as lots of treats! Lovely staff and great views/walks/boat ride+++ … can’t recommend highly enough!

My fiance booked this for my birthday via Virgin experience. On receiving the gift we upgraded it to two nights instead of 1, and also added our two dogs. We had email confirmation about a week before to explain we were given a complimentary upgrade from camping pod to gingerbread house. This helped a lot as we didn't need to bring so much stuff. Thank you for the upgrade, it truly made my 30th birthday celebrations that much more special. The gingerbread house is spacious, has stunning views and is very comfortable. We were a little worried about the site rules of dogs barking etc as our dogs can be, let's say, temperamental in that department. But the atmosphere and friendlyness around the site really helped our dogs feel settled and they were so well behaved, we are still a little shocked ha. Bar is so warm and cozy with reasonable prices drinks. Quiet bite pizza are really delicious and again, reasonably priced. Lovely dog walking fields next to site as well which the dogs loved. EV charges on site which are a little cheaper than your usual public charges so that was a bonus. We also hired a boat on the lake which was such an enjoyable day! Staff around the campsite are welcoming, friendly, and keep it clean always. We will definitely be back and we are truly greatful for such a special break for our first time in the Lake District.

What a wonderful site- they have thought of everything! We stayed for a couple of nights when it was rainy but their fabulous facilities meant we could dodge the raindrops. We used the wonderful bar with a roaring woodburner and a cosy village pub feel, with live music on a Sunday evening and the games room where we had several rounds of pool. The first night we had a gorgeous pizza rustled up in 5 minutes in their wood fired oven, they had a well stocked shop but best of all was the campers kitchen. It was well equipped and there are tables and chairs, fridges and freezers, a lending library of books, games and DVD's. We cooked our evening meal there and played cards and chatted with other campers.|We had a fully serviced pitch at a very reasonable price and the shower and w.c. units were warm and immaculately clean. What a fabulous place we will be back !!

We’ve stayed in our campervan on this campsite on several occasions but this is the first time we have used The Quiet Site’s new electricity meter system. We found this very easy to use, after downloading the Metpow app, just follow the very simple steps provided by The Quiet Site. The app sets out clearly how much electricity you are using so you could manage any extra costs if necessary but, in our case, the Fair Usage allowance of 14kw per day included in our site fee was way above the amount we needed. In fact, we only used a total of 1kw during our one night stay. The Quiet Site is everything they say it is on their website, I really can’t add anything extra to that, well kept, friendly, the most amazing shower facilities. Looking forward to returning soon.

Our second visit this year and definitely our favourite site in the Lakes and probably UK. Great fully serviced pitches on this well kept site. The shop has a range of local food and drink, there’s a lovely old bar and some great food at the kiosk freshly made for breakfast and good pizza in the evening. There are great walks on the doorstep and Pooley Bridge and Glenridding nearby.

Stayed here twice now, both times the staff have been wonderful, the bar and the small cafe type thing called the quiet bite are lovely and serve good food. The bacon sausage buns are the best ove ever had anywhere and thats without any sauces. The washroom facilities are clean and tidy. The second time I stayed in a hobbit hole glamping pod they upgraded me to which was really kind of them. The hobbit holes are insulated with heating, their own toilet and wash basin and plenty of plug sockets. With a lovely view of the lake from the covered porch. Will definitely keep coming back here.

We’d been recommended this site by a few people and don’t know why we left it so long to visit! The site is immaculate, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and they really have thought of everything. We love that the site is strongly focused on sustainability and, of course, that it’s wonderfully quiet! It’s so reassuring to know that all your neighbours are respectful and that you’ll 100% get a peaceful night’s sleep. It’s also super dog-friendly — the dog bath/shower has hot running water, which is a massive bonus as most only have cold. We can’t recommend it enough. Thank you, team — we’ve already rebooked!

This is a brilliant site for people who don't want the parties, the crowds and hustle and bustle of some other sites. The site is what it is called and this is what attracted us. Don't get me wrong or think I'm being boring as we like to party and have a good laugh as much as anyone else it's just we have an 18 month old baby and therefore this quieter site therefore suits us. The site has many awards under its belt and also has its own pub what is an absolute must. The bar is an old barn and all are welcome including dogs. It has pretty good facilities including good showers and the on site shop gets you away with any essentials you may have forgotten about. The views are good over Ullswater what is about 1 mile down hill. In general the site is small, low key, dog friendly, not over run by kids, quiet site and in a good location.

Pleasantly supprised. This is a quaint little site providing ample room for tents mobile caravans statics and camping pods. There is a pub on site which sells local beer and lager however the owners are missing out on the fact they could make a mint if they started selling bar food or meals. Our weekend was really nice however there were quite a lot of children running around the site making noise during the day when there is a playing field provided. I havent a problem with this but the parents should have more respect for other people who are here to relax. Overall we liked the site and will definately be coming again. Close to pooley bridge and penrith. Keswick is easy half hour drive.

Not really being a fan of camping my wife and I decided to give it a go and booked a Pod for a midweek break at the end of July. The only let down was the weather, the campsite was extremely friendly and the facility were very clean. To make me even happier there was a superb bar on site that sold local real ale. I'm still not convinced that camping is for me, but if I'm going to give it another try I'll certainly head back to The Quiet Site.
