Having previously enjoyed a visit to Waterfoot Park in July with our touring caravan we returned again in November and certainly weren’t disappointed in any way. Gorgeous autumnal setting. The site is maintained to a high standard and is very clean. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The shop sells a variety of goods. A short walk to Pooley Bridge for restaurants, pubs and shops.

We stayed at Waterfoot in one of the glamping pods. We had a lovely 2 night stay, it was very comfortable, plenty space and very clean. Although it was a glamping pod, the park provided majority of utensils and equipment needed, which was great. You need to take bedding, towels, and drinking glasses. Thanks again for a lovely stay, we will be returning 😊

Lovely pod with everything we needed, really cosy and warm. Site shop was well stocked and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Great location and very central to local attractions and fab places to eat. Would totally recommend the Secret Garden in Pooley Bridge. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff seemed unaware of the area in regards to where shops and things were which left us as first time visitors alittle out of our depth. Pooley bridge was the closest town and was so expensive. Bar on the site itself was closed all the days we were there leaving us nothing to do once night fall came. We left at 9am in the morning we’d slept terrible being pregnant also these beds in the glamping pods are awful.
