Just spent 4 nights in the 2 bed Dollywagon apartment. The appartment was amazing and it was exceptionally clean. The location is perfect in a beautiful setting within walking distance of Pooley Bridge. The appartment has fantastic views across the lake and is one of the most comfortable I have stayed in. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I would definitely book this apartment again.

Lovely site, staff are brilliant always saying hello and can't do enough for you. On the other hand manager/owner, the man who doesn't were uniform is the most rude person I've met when touring around the UK. He needs to take a step back and look at how the staff treat the customers and maybe try doing that him self! Site has everything you need, shower block decent, touring area kept tidy.

Beautiful site! Just came back from 2 nights in one of the dog friendly pods. The pod was great with kitchen facilities, shower and toilet definitely the best pod we have stayed in! The site itself was very clean and quiet. Short walk from poorly bridge. Cant wait to go back and stay in another pod or with our campervan. Would highly recommend!
