1 night at Cross Farm Retreat

We had a wonderful stay in the bell tent. The bed was comfy and the tent is very warm and inviting. Kirsty is very kind and considerate and we had everything we needed to give my daughter her first introduction to camping.

3 nights at Moss Side Farm Campsite

Quiet, relaxed, easy feel, part of a working farm (in which you often get curiously and delightfully visited by various pairs of animals from a couple of old rams, a pair of goats, ducks and sheep dogs!), fires permitted, no children, stunning views, perfectly good enough facilities and great walks on the quieter (but no less beautiful) side of the Lakes! Highly recommended. Louise, the owner, is salt of the earth too. ❤️😁🙏

Weekend Trip to Y Llew Bach Cottage

Absolutely beautiful stay - has everything you need and then some! Beautiful views all round . Such a friendly and welcoming host. We would absolutely recommend trying some of the food in the pub - amazing ! The pub is very homely too. The cottage also had a vast variety of games and dvds to enjoy if you feel like being ‘unplugged’ , the host also provided a large folder of walks/hikes which you are allowed to take with you . Big bonus - DOG FRIENDLY! I could go on for ages about how much we enjoyed our stay .
