We have just returned from an excellent stay Ravenstonedale, Tarn Centre.
Everything was faultless and the photos don't do the place justice. Lovely scenery, well equipped kitchen and very clean throughout.
Alison answered every question promptly when asked and we will be back next year.
Ideal for large groups (if people don't mind sharing 8-person bunk beds)
Location is great, facilities more than adequate
Wouldn't hesitate to use again
24 of us stayed there and really didn't know what to expect but it was a good experience. Inside facilities were good specially the cleanliness and hygiene were spot on. We would recommend to our friends and family. The only little negative if I can put it that way is the Mobil network is not brilliant but there is wi fi to compensate that.
We would surely go there again.

Great Place
Second time here for my group and we enjoyed our stay just as much. Great scenery and everything you could need is provided. It's remote and has no Wi-Fi or mobile signal, but that's exactly what we wanted. Will be back again I'm sure. Thanks again to the owners who were a pleasure to communicate with.
