Shepherd's Hideaway camping pod

Liked: Sarah was absolutely lovely and we could tell she was really passionate about what she does. We booked for the Friday night as a halfway point on our trip to Scotland but we decided to book an extra night. The pod was brand new, really clean and had everything we needed, even a coffee machine. We decided to have a bbq for our tea and she has bbq packs available which she delivered to us with bread and salad even jacket potato's. The pod is located on a working farm and has cows, lambs, horses, dogs, cats and even a donkey. The toilet block was clean and tidy. We literally couldn't have asked for anymore. Thank you for a really nice weekend and keep it up. We will be booking again so my partner can see her favourite sheep "Boris" :)

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site is well designed and well maintained. The pitches are divided by fences and are level. It's a working farm. There were new lambs, calves, a donkey, a Shetland pony and alpacas. Christine offers home cooked food. We had her pizzas one evening. Very nice!

Local attractions

If you're looking to spend some time by the water, Bassenthwaite Lake (20 minutes' drive) will surely be on your list. This most northerly lake in the national park is very quiet, with few towns and villages around its shores. Head here for walks along the path that runs along the western shore, or stick around to discover the animals on display just to the north of the lake at the Lake District Wildlife Park (20 minutes). It's a short drive to other top attractions too, the likes of which include historic Dalemain House (20 minutes), the Lakes Distillery (20 minutes), mountain peaks like Helvellyn (30 minutes) or Skiddaw (35 minutes) and the far-famed Derwent Pencil Museum, where you can learn all about graphite. Birdoswald Roman Fort, part of Hadrian’s Wall, can be reached by road in 50 minutes as well. Cumbrian life isn't all about the fells and lakes, though: you can take yourself off to Carlisle (30 minutes) for a more urban day out at the castle, cathedral and Tullie House museum, or you could get to Cumbria's gorgeous coastline in about 35 minutes for days out on the sand.
