Weekend Trip to Puddlemire

We had a great time, second visit and will definitely come again!

Weekend Trip to Puddlemire

Our second time camping here and was brilliant again. 4 small children, lovely walk to the pub, paddles in the stream. All great. Shirley is an excellent host too.

Weekend Trip to Howdy Glamping

From first meeting Andri and Tom I knew it was going to be a lovely place. They couldn't be more helpful, nothing was any bother. Beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. I'm definitely going back and I met other people who are regulars to Andri and Tom. I would HIGHLY recomend staying there.. Thank you Andri and Tom x

5 nights at Moss Rose Campsite

Beautiful setting. Really friendly host. Absolutely loved the extra touches like being able to use a fridge-freezer and the snack and honesty box (I hope my girls put enough money in!) such a shame we had to leave early but the weather was just too awful but we will definitely be back another time.

1 night at Howdy Glamping

Close to the A66 & M6 by Penrith, so good place to be based for exploring the area. Site clean and tidy, super laid back, a bit rustic and quirky... in a nice way. Friendly people and dog! Free use of on site fridge/freezer and kettles, toilets and shower clean. Nice out door seating area/s with fire pits/bbq's. Glamping pods/tents and caravans looked interesting...! We stayed in my campervan..

2 nights at Ewe Love Camping Pods

A lovely stay, with excellent facilities and a great view! Would recommend to anyone looking for a destination in the Keswick area.

2 nights at Moss Rose Campsite

The best campsite I've been to! They've managed to retain so much nature and in essence of being in the wild. Facilities are excellent and lots of thoughtful touches such as paving slabs that you can help yourself too to put underneath campfires, as well as a coffee machine and a microwave. The showers and toilets are clean and thoughtfully stocked. There's plenty to do in the local area and it's really close to the coast and some beaches. The family that run it are incredibly kind and thoughtful and are clearly doing a good thing by putting so much thought into preserving the wildlife around the site.

Weekend Trip to Moss Rose Campsite

It was a beautiful campsite, quiet and friendly. John came round to welcome you . All amenities are quaint and clean. I don't live too far away, it was perfect to try camping on my own with the dog. I'll be going back.

Weekend Trip to Howdy Glamping

4 nights at Damson View Glamping

My 2nd time coming here and it didn't disappoint, I didn't want to leave. The pod are beautiful and cosy, exceptionally clean and well looked after. The pods are situation slightly upground which gives them a spectacular view Its so peaceful if you want time to unwind and I really enjoyed the company of the two chickens and the three ducks that visit. Also I love the log bundles that you can buy for the fire pit as it makes starting a fire so easy. Carole and Howard are so friendly and hospitable. Would definitely recommend.

Mark and Angie have created such a lovely camp experience with there pods! We enjoyed every second of our stay. The pod is immaculate, and has all the things you need to enjoy a couple nights in nature. Thanks again for hosting us!

1 night at Howdy Glamping

I stayed on the campsite. Gorgeous site with really good facilities. Close To Ullswater. Hosts were the best. I’ll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Hazel Mount Fellside

Beautiful close to nature small site, not a vehicle in site. Wonderful views. The owner,Ruth, is a wonderful host with a real concern and plans for the natural surroundings.

Weekend Trip to Malhamdale Glamping

Great directions from the host to this site. Well located with beautiful views towards Malham Cove and handy that there is a farm shop with cafe on site - great breakfast baps! Spotlessly clean and well-equipped glamping pods (4) with outside picnic tables and fire pit/BBQ. Comfortable bed and sofa. All added up to an excellent, relaxing stay.

Weekend Trip to Hazel Mount Fellside

Ruth was absolutely fantastic. Lovely location and it was nice to be nestled away on her farm. Honestly though, we'd come back just to spend some time just to have lively intelligent conversation with Ruth. If you're looking for a fully catered experience with all the bells and whistles then this place isn't for you. If you're looking for your basic needs to he met and have a respect for the land then look no further.

Weekend Trip to Howdy Glamping

I had a very nice stay at Tom and Andri's. They both said hello to me at different points and made me feel very welcomed. Andri told me a great place to walk my dog and Tom showed me some of the new facilities the place is getting. Lovely quiet stay.

Weekend Trip to Ewe Love Camping Pods

An amazing stay, amazing location with an even better view! The pods were well equipped and the underfloor heating was amazing. I will definitely be returning. Perfect location for our hike up Blencathra.

Weekend Trip to Trawden Forest Glamping

This is such an amazing location and such luxury! Everything you need is right there! The lovely couple who run the location were lovely and really accommodating with my strange request to cook with my cast iron pot on the open fire, even providing more firewood! We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Deerstone Glamping

Me and my boyfriend spent two beautiful nights here in the domes. Katrin is simply wonderful super helpful and just a phone call away if you need anything. The dome was just perfect, beautifully clean and came with everything you could need to make the weekend perfect. The cinema dome was fantastic we used it two nights. The showers and toilets were so clean and had shampoo conditioner shower gel toothpaste and deodorant. The heater in the shower was perfect for the cold mornings. The hot tub was fantastic super clean and got really hot, we struggled the second night to get the fire going for the hot tub but with just a text message to katrin she was there sorting it for us with her beautiful little dog woody who came to say hello. There were two heaters inside the dome to keep you warm, also in the chest at the bottom of the bed there were cups, cutlery, mini table, fire starter, pans, bbq utensils, and much more to make your stay homely. The breathtaking views from the domes are just magnificent. 100% will be returning to the site with the kids and the dog. We can’t wait to come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
