Carleton, Penrith

Look at it properly, before you ring anyone.

Walk through a lodge on your own screen, at eleven at night, with nobody stood next to you. Then come and see the real one on a Saturday.

Every lodge here is privately owned.

Nobody new moves in next door on a Friday. There are no holiday lets on this park, so the people you wave at in year ten are the people you wave at now. That is the whole product, and a park with a letting programme cannot sell it to you at any price.

It is a small field run by one family, open all year. The town is seven minutes down the lane, with a supermarket, a doctor and a station.

Three things we would rather you heard from us.

  • You can hear the A66.

    A guest wrote it first: the closeness of the A66 road which is always busy and provides a distant traffic hum 24/7. Bigal1870, October 2019.

  • The nearest pub is a mile, and there is no pavement.

    A guest wrote it first: 1 pub about a mile away along quite a busy road with no pavement. JF60, August 2022.

  • There is no play area.

    A guest wrote it first: There is no play area (bonus for us). Podbods, August 2017.

Fifteen people have reviewed this park in public and all fifteen scored it ten out of ten. We print the complaints too, because a park that hides the traffic hum should not be believed about the quiet.
