  • In the Cumbrian hills a couple of miles from Witherslack
  • A 15-minute drive from Grange-over-Sands and 25 from Windermere
  • Campfires allowed: firepits for hire and wood for sale on site
How might you fancy a peaceful and well-equipped Lake District place to stay, among the peaceful hills of Cumbria, and with easy access to famed Lake District destinations including Lake Windermere, Ambleside, Cartmel and Kendal? Bed down at quiet and secluded Moss Howe Farm for all the above, a couple of miles from local village Witherslack and 15 minutes' drive from Grange-over-Sands. This is an excellent setting for campfire evenings: guests can arrange firepit hire by adding a request to the Moss Howe team when booking, or use their own barbecues as long as they're raised off the ground and placed on top of the firepit using the supplied grill. A shop and pub are nearby in Witherslack for supplies and other eats. Moss Howe is well equipped, with modern shower, washroom and toilet facilities, plus a tumble dryer in the ladies' shower block, and dishwashing basins just outside. Charging facilities are available for an extra fee; freshwater taps are around the accommodation areas, and wifi is at reception.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-maintained site praised for its stunning scenery, clean and modern facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, spacious pitches, and on-site shop. While most found the location ideal for exploring the Lake District, some noted the narrow access road. A few reviews highlighted issues with shower sensors and water pressure. A single review detailed a negative experience regarding pitch allocation and staff communication, which the manager addressed by emphasizing the site's seclusion and traditional values.

Ainslie W.

Electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch (medium)

Liked Spacious pitches, wrll-stocked shop, lovely little taproom with some great small batch local beers, pizza on Saturday night, morning pastries. The site is nestled in a secluded and well-protected valley, so even though it was a blustery weekend, we didn't feel the wind at all in our tent.

Disliked The showers are a bit hot and could do with a seat to help with getting dressed afterwards without everything getting soaking, but that's r ally nitpicking...we had a lovely stay.

Annelli S.

Valley View electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site. Great toilets and showers(with humorous signs). Lovely lady who met us as we arrived. Lots of stock in the shop and considered us due to bad weather and moved us onto a safer pitch.

Disliked Very narrow track down to the site so now wonder they don't have mobile homes. Intermittent WiFi.

Local attractions

A particularly scenic way to explore these surroundings is atop a horse, so make your way first to the Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre, 10 minutes' drive away, for rides through the woods or on the local fell. A big sheltered arena is also at the centre if you'd like to practise your cantering first. If horses aren't for you, take to the car instead for the spectacularly scenic 25-minute drive to Windermere and Consiton Water via the A590, among the views of the east side of the lake to Bowness, Troutbeck and Ambleside. You'll need at least a day at Britain's biggest natural water lake, for steam ferry rides from Bowness Bay to Waterhead at Ambleside, or boating trips around the water and Windermere's 18 islands. Also have a potter around Lakeside Pier at the southern end of the lake (the ferry from Bowness finishes here), for the Aquarium of the Lakes showcasing Windermere's wildlife. Hikes, mountain biking and lake and mountain views are at Grizedale Forest, 35 minutes away.
