Glamping on a beautiful family oriented site.
Camping pod (family)
Liked Absolutely stunning location. Very friendly hosts, immaculate pod with lots of space inside. There was electricity and lights, a big empty storage box for our kit and tables and chairs outside the pod. Lovely hot shower and bonus for us was use of kettle/ toaster. Although we didn't use it there was also a fridge and microwave. Fantastic! Oh an WiFi in a separate barn area to get our little phone fix!

Camping pod (family)
Liked Great facilities, really family and child friendly. Lovely, welcoming owners. Felt safe and secure. Having the wild swimming/paddling there was a real bonus. Lovely pod too, just an enjoyable, straight forwards stay!

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Location is only 1 mile from a fantastic bar and restaurant and lots of walks
Fields were clean and well laid out.
Owners were friendly and helpful (we even got a lift to Kirkoswald)
Lovely quiet place.
Disliked There was a lack of toilet facilities and could do with a bigger shower block for ladies and men.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words on your review and we are glad you enjoyed your 2 night stay with us.
There are 14 showers and 14 toilets here at Mains Farm. I am wondering if you didnt find your way to our big block at the bottome of the car park.
Hope to see you again

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked What a lovely camping spot!! Had the best time there. Not a far drive from the Lake District. Supplied hairdryer, fridge freezer kitchen and hob. As well as an honesty shop. Will be returning to the little gem. Everything for the full family to enjoy

Excellent site, well deserved of all the great reviews!
Camping pod (family)
Liked Can see why this site has such good reviews. We stayed for 2 nights in a pod and honestly could not fault the place. Was extremely hot when we arrived so once we'd unpacked the car literally went straight to the river and within 3 minutes the kids were in and cooling off. Facilities excellent. Toaster, microwave and kettles to use as well as a fridge and freezer. Paid for a firepit and logs and we were pleasantly surprised at how many logs we were given, have stayed in many other places and ended up paying a fortune in logs but very generous amount given. Showers and toilets clean. Lovely little honestly shop which came in handy for a cold drink after a walk in the sunshine. Our first time in a pod and the only advice I can give is if it's hot bring a fan! We made the mistake of not bringing one and had the door open during the evening - only to have to battle the cast of bugs life come bed time - lesson learnt - keep the door and window closed 🙈😂 Lovely and peaceful at night time and we camped alongside some other very respectful campers who abided by the quiet hours so was a peaceful stay. Have already recommended to family.
Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Excellent idilic site in beautiful surroundings
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This is a great site. Loved the no music and no cars by the tents. The house Martin's, swallow and swifts flying around and raising young was great to watch. The river on the edge is a great walk and place to swim. Richard and Julie run a great camp and we will definitely return.

Around enjoyable stay.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Friendly helpful owners, large pitches, honesty shop, rural location near river. Showers hot, albeit a little rough and ready (being on a farm), peaceful and quiet, would use again.
Disliked Some areas could do with a clean, but that saying there had just been a music festival!!
