Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great campsite, good facilities, lovely friendly staff and kids loved the farm animals. Stunning location & near to everything you want & need. We didn’t use the WiFi so can’t comment on if it was any good.

Disliked: Some guests didn’t respect the 10pm quiet rule

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Brilliant amenities with kettle, microwave, washing up area and laundry room. Bathrooms were spotless and the general area was very tidy, location picturesque.

Disliked: The sound from the nearby A road was quite prominent in camp - not an issue, I just prefer quieter locations. The office hours ended at 5, meaning you couldn’t request logs for a fire right before dinner time if you ran out during the day - again, not really an issue just something to be aware of.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (riverside)

Liked: Quiet campsite, despite being close to the A66, it felt remote and the sound of the stream and waterfall were wonderful to wake up to. The facilities were spotless and the shower hot. We had a warm welcome at reception and can’t wait to return. Very relaxed, our dog was welcome and so was our wood fire that kept us warm this early in the season

Disliked: There is no signal I. Your phone, pretty minor when wanting to get away

Camping pod (no pets)

Liked: Fantastic location Nice, cosy pod Clean facilities Play park for kids Hairdryer available in shower block Communal room with microwave and other little luxuries. Lots to like about this site and I would definitely recommend.

Disliked: Presonal preference but the showers were too hot and there was no way to adjust the temperature. Fold out matresses in pods weren't the best but easy enough to bring your own.

Local attractions

Ullswater is the nearest of the lakes at 10 minutes’ drive away, so that’s as good a place to start as any – stop by at Aira Force waterfall on your way down there, then get down to the lake itself for waterside walks, steamer cruises and various watersports – or even a wild swim if you’re feeling brave. Over on the banks of Derwentwater, Keswick (15 minutes’ drive) is another good place to explore, with a brewery, The Puzzling Place and the Derwent Pencil Museum as well as boat trips and paddleboards to hire. Walkers of all varieties have much to choose from around here, from gentle lakeside wanders to uphill scrambles at Blencathra and Helvellyn, both of which are close by. The folk on the farm are happy to suggest routes to suit – or point you towards the likes of Dalemain Mansion (15 minutes), Mirehouse & Gardens (20 minutes) or Lowther Castle (25 minutes) for stately-home strolls.
