King Garth
6. King Garth

Carlisle, England · 1 unit
Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon
I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position.
In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you.
The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river.
My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay.
You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk!
Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there.
This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host.
The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

4 nights at Ewe Love Camping Pods
We loved our stay in Tan Pod over the weekend. It was cosy and had exactly what we needed for a comfortable stay. The shower had great water pressure and was nice and hot. The amenities were ample and the bed was really comfy. The view was gorgeous and a joy to wake up to. The grounds and surroundings are beautiful. Perfectly situated between Keswick and Penrith with a delicious farm shop 10mins drive away. We would stay here again.

Perfect in so many ways but a little maintenance needed. We pretty much had the site to ourselves, beautiful area, the host was the friendliest host I've had so far. For the price I can not complain. It is a working farm so be prepared for the smell of manure but that did not bother us. Great toilet facilities but require maintenance. But we were happy wanted to stay longer . And will definitely be returning . Preferably in the pod as we stay in the gypsy wagon, nice but the pods looked more welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality

I stayed in Rosella one of the two Gypsy caravans at Thornbank farm. It was just me and my two dogs and it was just right size wise for one person and two dogs but would also be fine for two people. There’s a comfy double bed to sleep in and seating at one side of the van. The van comes equipped with toaster kettle mini fridge and air fryer. It was tricky to keep my dogs contained overnight but one of them is a jack Russell and he wanted to be out hunting farm cats! As long as you have a good sturdy line to attach excitable pets to it’s all fine (from previous camping trips I had brought one anyway). The views and setting are beautiful. The location is in close vicinity to Seascale, St Bees, Whitehaven coast towns / beaches. Food wise you can manage for some meals self catering but there’s a local pub the Lion and Lamb I ordered a fish and chip tea from - delivered to the farm - it was lovely. The owner Cathryn was warm and welcoming and helpful too. Me and the dogs will definitely be back one day. Highly recommend.

This was a very peaceful camping experience with spectacular views. The camp site is well kept and the toilets are clean. The farm tour is great for children as they get to see some of the animals and is also a great learning experience. Cathryn is a wonderful host and was very welcoming.

2 nights at The Damson Shepherd's Hut
What a gem of a place - beautiful, peaceful and relaxing . Jo was a superb host with thought to every detail from wood to a fully equipped kitchen . The shepherd’s hut was tastefully decorated throughout with an amazing power shower !
The walks around Winster and Crook were fantastic - we walked for seven hours and we only saw three people - a hidden jewel of a place ! We fully recommend ! Not at all difficult to find with Jo’s carefully constructed directions .

The site at Otter Moss is stunning, and set in beautiful, quiet Cumbrian countryside. Ruth and her family are lovely hosts, and the beautiful cabins and yurts make the camping experience cosy and comfortable. Close to Hadrian's Wall and less than an hour from the Lake District, this is really a special find. Would highly recommend!

Such a beautiful place to spend a few days of relaxing or exploring the local countryside. So much care and attention has gone into this spot, we loved the yurt & the space surrounding it, so lovely & tranquil, we especially loved the fire pit and the indoor log burner, as well as the super king bed! We loved it so much we added on an extra night & I’m sure we’ll return! Thank you so much Ruth!

The pods were great, they had everything you needed including salt, pepper, sugar, tea coffee and milk, and were clean and comfortable. The camp site was nice and quiet and we enjoyed watching the cows in the neighbouring fields. We had an issue with the electrics while we were there and Terry the owner came down straight away and sorted it for us, which was massively appreciated.

Such an amazing stay - we loved having the whole field to ourselves and the doggos being able to roam off lead. The cabin was super cozy and we loved the outdoor covered kitchen area. So many small touches made this off grid stay feel like a proper luxury. Everything was super clean (even the BBQ!).
Excellent views, proximity to loads of lovely little walks and adventures, cool wildlife. Susan was so welcoming and helpful but also content to just leave you be to enjoy the land.
A couple things to be prepared for -
To get there, you need to take your vehicle up a rough gravel path.
There's no fridge so if you need milk for your tea, you may need to bring a cooler.
We're already planning our next visit. 🙌

Lovely stay in a lovely location! Would highly recommend for a few days of switching off. A car is necessary and I’d recommend bringing your own food to cook! A cool box would also be useful if it’s warm as there isn’t anywhere to store food.

We had the BEST 2 nights here, it’s like paradise, the lake and grounds are so stunning and peaceful. On our first night we spotted a big tawny owl watching us from a tree, just beautiful. Literally everything you could need is here and we loved being all cosy in the hut together whilst it was raining. We just had so much fun and quality time together enjoying the simple life and cannot wait to come again thank you so much xxx
