Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees.
The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde, all a gentle walk from the sites.

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.

From the moment I arrived Lynne greeted me and my kid (6yrs) and made us feel welcome - she went out of her way to be helpful and made us feel really welcome. The site is beautiful and our pitch was shaded which helped (heatwave) and higher altitude meant consistent mild breeze. The alpaccas were soo charing and make a relaxing murmuring noice (so not disruptive) . Lynne and her team clearly are important to the local community they had a small gathering to watch the lunar eclipse and meteor shower with fire and bbq, which a local enthusiast brought telescope/camera to stream the eclipse through to look & special glasses. Beautiful shop too. Just perfect!

Once again, Lynne and the crew at Beirhope go above and beyond and do not disappoint.
Last year we stayed at the Hatties Hideaway pitch and were impressed by the outdoor kitchen, so this time we picked Samuel’s Super Pitch. Did not expect to have a stove and proper cutlery and crockery included, but I now know that when we next come we can pack lighter.
The highlight had to be the astronomy event that was organised for campers and external guests alike, including a short trek up the hills to take pictures of the sky in one of the darkest places in the country.
Lynne greeted us by name when we arrived, checked in throughout our stay and coped with the offspring’s animated info dumping. Cannot recommend Beirhope Alpacas enough and already making plans for our next stay.

I would 100% recommend anyone to check out camping at Bierhope Alpacas. Me and my girlfriend stayed for 2 nights on Phil’s patch and it was brilliant! Lynne welcomed us and she was absolutely lovely and happy to help with anything during our stay. The views and surroundings are great, and you have everything you need in terms of facilities. We will definitely be back!

This is a nice quiet spot in the Borders, within reach of a few good places. Clean and well kept campsite, the alpacas provide that extra interest. The charm is the rustic off grid but even within the basic nature of the place most things are still provided, shop, fires and toilets. Lynn is a good host and took the time to make us feel welcome and even managed to find small screwdrivers to fix our glasses.

My partner and I had a fantastic time here, plenty of space on the plots, we had friends stay in the one opposite with their van, very ideal. Amazing views from the site but if you enjoy hiking there’s even more to be seen, toilets/showers kept clean and toilet roll never ran out you won’t need to bring your own if that’s a worry, fire pit on the plots are a lovely touch, perfect being able to get the £6 bags of fire wood on site, cash or card! Great signal on camp too as there’s 5G masts close by, for those that care! Bats at night to watch and a peaceful stream to fall asleep to. Gareth can’t be topped, he’s an amazing addition to the campsite, thank you🙏🏼

Lovely campsite, so peaceful and Lynne couldn’t be friendlier. We really loved the reading nook and being able to camp so close to the Alpaca’s. Lynne has clearly put a lot of attention to detail in ensuring people have a comfortable stay and there are a lots of complementary add-ons you can purchase once you arrive. Would definitely recommend to those looking for a relaxing stay in the Borders.

Very good campsite in a lovely location. We went when it was probably at it's busiest, during the school holidays, yet it was still comfortable. The facilities are really good. The shower/toilet/washing block is clean and well maintained.
We would definitely stay again but probably when it's less busy as it was hectic at times.
That's no complaint towards the site though, they do a great job and the heavy horses there are spectacular to see.

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!

A wonderful stay for our anniversary weekend.
We had everything we needed and hosts that made us feel like family.
The alpacas made awesome neighbours, as did the other campers. There was just a general feeling of happiness at the site. The pitches are well thought out, spaced so that you have plenty of room but can still enjoy atmosphere from others around you.
There are birds everywhere, swallows, house martins, chaffinches and in the twilight hours, little bats!
The eco loos and washing facilities were immaculate.
On our pitch we had Kale's kitchen and were very grateful for the seating under shelter when we were hit by heavy rain.
We have been campers for a few years and nothing has come close to how good Beirhope is.
This place is really special - a slice of rural paradise that we hope to see again soon.
Thank you Lynne and Al. x
