Woeful Pub food and service

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Avoid

Brackenrigg Inn A lunch experience of quite unspeakable awfulness. The pub was hardly busy and there seemed to be plenty of staff around - but as customers we were at times invisible. A food order took 40 minutes to appear. We ordered Fish pie and its appearance when plonked on our table was of two large white brown cow pats on cereal bowls. It was served with a large hunk of stalish white bread and an apology for a salad. Hacking ones way through ...
...to be fair, some decent pieces of fish beneath. But the presentation and the general culinary standard was woeful - and this for dishes that were priced at an astonishing £11.95 each! On our experience this is an overpriced rip-off of a pub with diabolical service, unfriendly staff and a complete lack of regard for its customers. Avoid! ...

Review of Brackenrigg Inn, Penrith

Great Holiday Park

Advantages: Lots to do, beautiful area
Disadvantages: couldn't fit everything in.

Last year I holidayed at Fallbarrow Holiday Park (a park run by the company South Lakeland Parks), and have an absolutely brilliant time. A family of 7 of us all went to Fallbarrow together - me, my partner, my parents, my brother and his 2 children, who were at the time 5 and 2. We went in October last year, as my niece was on half term break. More information on Fallbarrow can be found at http://www.slholidays.co.uk/Fallbarrow, we also booked online ...
...Holiday Park * Fallbarrow Park is set in the perfect location between the borders of Lake Windermere and the beautiful parks of the Lake District. I found it a very relaxing and tranquil place even thought we never seemed to stop because there was so much to do. There is a lovely bar and restaurant on site with lovely good and a great atmosphere. A play area outside for the kids kept the occupied before and after meals or just while awe needed a ...

Review of South Lakeland White Cross Bay Holidays, Cumbria

Our New Holiday Home

Advantages: Cosy, friendly, welcoming.
Disadvantages: None

...bought a holiday lodge at Gatebeck holiday park on the outskirts of Kendal. It is in the perfect location to appreciate all of the surrounding natural beauty, as well as being close to shopping centres and markets while still enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. After viewing the complex and lodges, we decided to buy a lodge at this complex, as it was such a lovely place with so much surrounding nature. Along with my partner's ...
...I believe that Gatebeck only has owned lodges but many of these do seem to be rented out to holiday makers during the summer. There is plenty to do while at Gatebeck including South Lakes Wild Animal Park, The Aquarium of the Lakes, The World of Beatrix Potter, Lakeland Miniature Village, Ruskin Museum, Grizedale Park, Homescales Activity Centre, Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, Windermere Lake Cruises, plenty of walks, world-class bird watching, ...

An amazing holiday experience!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

I haven't been to Center Parcs in years and i'd only been to the Sherwood Forest one but this summer my family and I decided to give this one a go. it's set in the north of the lake district so as you can imagine it is a beautiful setting. The accommodation isn't exactly five star luxury but that is not what you expect from this holiday. This is a fast-paced, action packed holiday. The accommodation is fairly basic, the'villas' don't look appealing ...
...and have everything you need. You can pay extra to have the few luxuries such as the towels to be included and have a tv in the bedroom as well as lounge. The outside area of the villa has a little BBQ area and table and chairs which is a nice feature as well as your little bike rack for all your bikes. The activities you can vary immensly and you can book online before you even arrive so to be sure to g et your things booked! The activities include: ...
