This is one of my favourite local campsites . I recently went to a van meet here for the weekend. the site is clean and well maintained . And showers are available. The view from the site is lovely. And added bonus is the pub on site that serves food and even takeouts . The pub had a great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly . I would highly recommend here .

We stayed in a caravan behind the Wheatsheaf and ate in the pub a few times. The classic burger is fab and served with homemade chips. The Sunday roast is delicious with lashings of gravy and a large yorkshire pudding. There is plenty of food for big appetites. I would definitely recommend it.

So disappointed. We'd visited previously and enjoyed a meal but didn't even get to order this time as they said they had stopped selling food from the menu at 5pm despite the board outside clearly stating 8:30pm. They advised that this was because they had a festival on. We'd phoned earlier to book a table for 7 (plus 3 dogs) and we're given a time of 4:15 to sit down. Fout of (plus 2 dogs) arrived for 4:15 with the other 3 arriving very shortly after. We were handed menus and a drink order was taken but when we approached the bar to order (as nobody had come to us) we were advised that food was no longer being served. Having paid for the drinks, I asked to speak to a supervisor and was advised that they thought we were a "walk in" and not a booking. We won't be coming back.

Our first visit to the pub during a weekend break, and we were so impressed. I had the steak and ale pie which we nicknamed "the everlasting pie" as it never seemed to end! Huge portion and absolutely beautifully cooked. The whole meal was exceptional. My husband had the cumberland sausage which he said was the best he has ever had. We were impressed by the efficiency too of the staff, and the pub in general. Cannot rate highly enough, hats off to the chef and staff

We came here around two weeks ago… We had just finished our afternoon up Haystacks and were looking for somewhere to stop, to refuel our hangry selves. We came across this place along the way - I’m so glad we did. I had the beef shin with leek mash from the specials menu. Wow, it was fresh, delicious, plentiful and such good value. The sauce was insanely good - I really want the recipe to recreate it at home 😉. The boys had burger, and the dirty dog hot dog with pulled pork and steak. Huge portions, no complaints. The staff were attentive and friendly, and drinks were a reasonable price - dog friendly too. Shame it’s over five hours away - see you again on another trip. I didn’t take a photo unfortunately, I was too busy devouring it; but here’s a picture of the beautiful view from Haystacks.

Walked in at 15:13 after cycling 25 miles, I asked if they were still serving food and the answer was no, they stopped serving food at 15:00, they said they have shut everything off. Fair enough, I understand that, so had a pint and a packet of crisp, 45 minutes later I walked through to find both the bar staff just about to tuck into burger and chips! They need to eat, I understand that, but it's very frustrating to be lied to about shutting the kitchen down, won't be coming here again!

A great place just 5 minutes from where we stayed in Lorton valley. Having just arrived at our cottage that evening we hadn't booked a table but the staff were fantastic in getting us seated. Our only negative, and it's a piffling one, is that because we didn't book, the table we were given was at the far end of the pub away from all the atmosphere. The beef & ale pie with thick cut, crunchy chips was incredible. Definitely recommended. Very friendly staff, great selection of ales (go for the Cumberland if, like me, you enjoy blonde ale) and seriously good food.

We stayed at the campsite in our campervan for 3 nights, overall the stay was very enjoyable. The pitches are good size, hard standing, and more or less level ground. We also ate in the pub one night, it was good food and good service, can't complain. The only letdown was the toilet block. It seriously needs attention. The biggest issue is that there is only one shower in the gents and one in the women's, and these are only divided from the rest of the toilet facility by a shower curtain. No locks! Other issues are; - missing toilet seat - toilet doors hard to close(when you do mange to close them, good luck opening them again as no internal handle) - mouldy/damp room - quite dirty One other issue is that the only washing machine is located in the women's toilet block. What are solo male campers supposed to do? Especially given there are no locks in the showers. Would probably not stay again until the toilet block has been addressed.

Food & service good until I found a long dark hair in the middle of my chicken pie. Staff insinuated it could be mine, despite having curly and blonde hair. Had to ask them to remove the meal from the bill but they weren’t hugely keen. Stayed in the campsite out the back in a camper, pitches fine but toilets weren’t great (even for a campsite) and the one shower was very mouldy - Also only secure with an old curtain, no lock or door. Numerous dogs off lead (despite signs saying on lead at all times) barking constantly and worrying our (on - lead) dog. Smells of decaying animal when the wind blows by the pitches top end of field. All in all we won’t be returning, shame as we came on a friends recommendation.

The staff allowed us to park up our camper in their field at the back of the pub for the night with toilet and shower facilities. The views were amazing of the mountains surrounding. We had a great day and night, with plenty of dri ks and met some really nice people. Im sure we will be back . Thankyou.

The biggest disappointment is the toilet block. Only 1 shower and that would look better without the mold. 2 urinals and 2 toilets 1 without a seat. Just needs a bit more love, I'll use it again but use my own facility's.

Given all the positive reviews, we were really keen to book this place for a special occasion.

I also tried to email and sent a message on their online message system. This was well over a month ago and I’m still waiting to hear back from both. Very disappointing but luckily managed to book elsewhere! If you want to book for a large group or for a special occasion, I’d avoid trying as you’ll be disappointed!

I visited Oilys with family and just after the meals were served my brother had taken ill. One member of staff in particular was so helpful and attentive. Part way through the meal we had to leave to take my brother home and the same lady offered to box up all our meals for us as we had only started. Excellent service. The meals were delicious and it is just a shame we had to leave early. Luckily my brother is okay and we will have to go back sometime for a better experience.

Lovely afternoon tea, highly recommended. Atmosphere was so friendly too. Well worth a visit for one of their cups of tea, a secret blend that is delicious.

Thought we would give this place a try as we saw it when coming back from Lodore Falls a few weeks ago and thought location was good. Booked Sunday lunch for 2 adults and 2 teenagers as a pre-Christmas family lunch out. On arrival no one greeted us and we waited in line at the bar to be told, not shown to, which one our table was and to come back to the bar to order. This is fine but at hotel restaurant I would expect staff to come and take our order - main course Sunday lunch £24.95, burgers the kids had £21.95 so not cheap. Inn on the Lake Glenridding for example is less expensive and far superior in location, class, service and food quality. I ordered roast beef and when it arrived I actually got lamb - no problem mistakes happen - but it did mean i had to wait for it to be replaced whilst the rest of my family ate their meals. When beef arrived it was dried out, as if heated under a grill. No one checked on us during the meal but asked if everything was ok when they came to clear. I told them my beef wasn't great - half of it uneaten - and they said i should have told them and they would have replaced. Fine, but bearing in mind i had already waited for it to be replaced once and eaten after others had finished i didn't really want to go for round 3. My meal was removed from the bill but the experience for a family lunch out was spoilt. We were in the restaurant area that doesn't allow dogs but close to the open doors to the dog friendly area - I love dogs but the smell coming through wasn't pleasant from time to time, especially when eating. Generally i think it is expensive and disappointing for what it is, pub type service and food at restaurant prices. £9.50 for puddings for example is excessive for the environment. A shame as location is great to stop for lunch if walking around Derwentwater but I wouldn't recommend based on pour experience today. As a final comment the staff did seem genuinely apologetic.

We head to Caldbeck couple times of the year to do the Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Elf Hunt with our daughter. We always head to The Oddfellows Arms for lunch once we've finished the hunts for lunch and never fails to deliver. I had the all day breakfast and is as good as you'll get. See you at Easter...
