We’re flying high

By | Uncategorised | No Comments

So May has been a rather lovely month for us and we’re going to take 5 minutes to blow our own trumpet.

Today we happily received confirmation from VisitEngland that we have retained our 5 Star Holiday Park Award for 2019. We have been working hard on improvements, maintenance and upkeep so we hoped we had done enough to remain at the top – but that little wait for confirmation from the powers that be is always a slightly nervous one.

To add to that we have also been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and a Reviews Award from PitchUp.com for consistently great reviews from our guests. So we are really thrilled to have our little corner of Kirkby Stephen so widely loved by both our guests and the Official Tourist Board for England.

We work hard to make sure your stay is pleasant, to keep our park in good condition and to show off how truly wonderful The Eden Valley and it’s hidden gems really are. We also have to thank our brilliant (and very small) team for all their hard work. If you haven’t already been to stay with us, we’d be happy to welcome you and show you what all the fuss is about! 😉

Coast to Coast – the perfect pitstop

By | Uncategorised | No Comments

We have literally thousands of walkers passing through Kirkby Stephen every year on the famous Coast to Coast walk and plenty of those that brave a tent for accommodation land on our doorstep.

We see many a weary face (and a few spritely ones!) arrive after the long slog from Shap – don’t get me wrong most people are having a wonderful trip with views and experiences to last a lifetime, but after a week of walking over some pretty high hills most a ready for a rest. So we want to let you know there is no better place on the route to take a rest day.

Kirkby Stephen is one of the few towns on the route with all the amenities you need, pubs a plenty, cafes, shops to restock, camping/walking supplies and all set in a pretty market town that is widely recognised as the ‘half way’ point of the route.

Pennine View Park is located at the top of town and is an easy 15 minute walk to the centre. We have an onsite laundry so you can freshen up those socks, free wifi (and charging sockets) to reconnect with the world and for those wanting a little extra comfort we have warm cosy camping pods with heaters, kettles, fridge and most importantly comfy beds! The perfect pit stop to ready you for the next weeks walking.

So when planning your trip why not factor in a rest day with us, we’d be happy to welcome you.
