Yes, I've camped there many times and it's so absolutely pitch black some nights that you can't see your feet never mind the road ahead.
After the first time you know to take a torch with you to the pub.

But perhaps you weren't referring to the darkness?

Bit of both really. Luckily someone came past with a head torch on just before we walked into the Beck.

Farmers Arms at Lowick Green is great value and the restaurant attached is spot on.

Another one I've eaten at but not stayed at. On both occasions, the meals have been excellent.

We used to end our Lake District walks by eating at a pub and savouring a pint or three ... and whenever we saw they did accommodation, we'd say how good it would be to stay there.
In the end we put together a fortnight's itinerary and did so.
A really great holiday, that was.
