Stayed for 3 nights in December in our motorhome soon after lockdown ended. The site is really well laid out and whilst it was a quiet time of year, the facilities were all open and available. Amazing showers and washroom facilities. Pooley Bridge is a lovely village to visit with really welcoming hostelries. Best of all, the walking at any time of year is fabulous. We walked the length of Ullswater and caught the steamer back - a perfect day. We will be back....Read less.

This was the first time I’ve stayed at Hillcroft Park, although I’ve stayed on many other sites around the Lake District.
The site was very to get to, having travelled from the M6 and we received a warm welcome from the gentleman on the reception desk. He couldn’t have been more helpful, providing advice about the site and facilities but also recommending cycling routes and places to visit.
The fully serviced large moho pitch was superbly located, with views towards Ullswater and the hills.
The toilet/shower block was superb. Very clean, spacious with the sound of birdsong and sheep piped in to add a great atmosphere.
The walk from the site into Pooley Bridge took just ten minutes and was very pleasant and we enjoyed a couple of very good meals in the pubs and coffee and cake in the cafe overlooking the river.
We took the opportunity of cycling whilst we stayed and are very much looking forward to returning to explore the area even more.
I can’t fault this site. It was a lovely place to stay....Read less.

An excellent site with well thought out touring spaces that had privacy and decent space as well as outstanding facilities. Fortunate enough to visit in the middle of winter, it was quiet, which suited us as we were looking for a walking base with some comfort while touring in our Motorhome. The Shower facilities were amazing and very well thought out, obviously enjoyed the powerful showers and warm floors and the sound track of the animals. I normally don't use the facilities at a site but these were to good to not use. The staff were all very friendly too....Read less.

We’ve stayed at hilcroft many times over the last 5 years. It’s the perfect base for us as we have family nearby so it enables us to visit them whilst enjoying a short break too. The park is kept beautifully and the lodges are comfortable, modern and well equipped. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. It’s a perfect base to explore the beauty of the Lake District and local attractions. There’s a few pubs and cafes in walking distance and we love to feed the ducks around the lakeside. It’s become a well loved home from home for us....Read less.

Excellent location and clean comfortable well laid out accommodation.

This was our first holiday in our caravan and we were apprehensive to say the least. When booking, the staff were helpful to recommend a pitch with easy access and assured us that the roads to the site were no problem, they were right! Checking out the shower block (with great Covid rules) it was spotless, warm and with countryside music playing softly in the background. In the evening a lovely tree lit up the shower block area with a colour changing light (just another lovely thought to make a stay memorable). The dog shower was a great addition, with lovely warm water.
There are fantastic walks from the site in all directions. We also had some great food in Pooley Bridge, which is only a 10 minute walk from the far end of the site
We will definitely be visiting again! Thank you to everyone who made our stay so great....Read less.

We stayed for 2 nights in a pod. This was perfect since you still felt like you were camping but without having to put up a tent. Since it was raining heavily on our arrival we were very grateful to be able to get into the pod straight away even though we were a little early in arriving. The shower facilities are just amazing, they are clean, warm and lots of hot water. The system they had in place to keep everyone distanced during the pandemic is really good. I always felt safe and distanced from everyone else. I will definitely recommend to others and we will most certainly come back here....Read less.

The site is within easy walking distance of nearby Pooley Bridge. It has well maintained, flat hard standings with hedges between to give privacy. The facilities are clean. The motorhome service point is rather basic and does not have a fresh water supply so is only useful for emptying grey water. There is only one chemical toilet emptying 'hut' which is very basic and quite a distance from pitches....Read less.

stayed on premium pitch with superb view of the valley below from pitch B18 as you can pitch face in which is unusual but a good idea here. A small criticism is that although the pitch looks flat it has a large dip to one side needing a ramp to level up the van which makes things difficult when also trying to line up an Alko lock aswell ! This is easily sorted by some more materials and grading, otherwise excellent as usual and look forward to our next visit...Read less.

The lodge that we stayed in was fantastic with lots of space and was very clean and comfortable. Great location and a nice walk into Pooley Bridge where there is nice pub nd couple of shops. Due to the fact that the bridge was being rebuilt in meant that we had to do a few detours to get to the other side of the Lake, will be better when Bridge reopened. Lovely walk up to see the Aira Force waterfall. Enjoyed our stay....Read less.

Fantastic clean park with full confidence keeping park facilities as clean as possible and ensuring all guests are safe. Great location and lovely gift shop on site.
