Leap and lollop your way to Harebeck Holidays for peaceful rural breaks with mountain views near the Cumbrian coast. Set a mile outside the pretty village of Gosforth and 10 minutes' drive from Seascale beach, this site is perched on the western edge of the Lake District, making a great base for days out around the river Esk and Ravenglass.
The Wasdale Valley, where Harebeck Holidays is located, has lots of mountain views to liven up the scenery, including vistas over Scafell Pike, England's tallest peak. Let yourself get fully immersed in the countryside – and don't worry if your clothes come back a little on the damp side, as the site has a handy drying room where you can leave your boots and outdoor gear to air out.
Other on-site facilities include a bathroom block with two separate showers and three toilets, as well as extras like a changing mat, step, toddler seat and hair dryer if you need them; bath towels are also available to hire. Outside, there's secure lock-up bike storage available on request, as well as a washing-up unit with hand towels provided. When it comes to sourcing provisions, you can order eggs or a meat or veg pack from reception (at least 48 hours prior to arrival) or buy a disposable barbecue pack from site staff. Stocking up for the long haul? Harebeck Holidays is happy to take supermarket deliveries too.
You may also get the chance to go on a farm tour where the owners explain their agricultural methods and show off some of their prize animals.

T hank you for your review and for the comment about hot water for washing up. This is being addressed this week as my plumber is looking at what can be done to rectify this.. |
|||||
From the manager...
Score for cleanliness seemed low as the toilet block facilities were cleaned at least twice a day with only two vans on the site and there are two rooms to the block. Recycling facilities and general waste disposal are provided but not toilet emptying as chemicals mean my waste treatment plant may be compromised. DIY fittings? I suppose this may be a reaction to there being a retro kitchen fitting being reused/recycled as a pot wash facility that at the moment has only cold water. This is being looked at and investigated further to try to fit hot water, |

Local attractions
Local must-sees like Muncaster Castle and Gardens (10 minutes' drive) and the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (10 minutes to the nearest station) are great for seeing some of the prettiest pockets of the surrounding area's landscape, while for ancient history there's second-century Hardknott Roman Fort (30 minutes) – lots more artefacts from the days when Cumbria as an outpost of the Roman Empire can be seen at museums in Workington (35 minutes) and Carlisle (an hour and 20 minutes).
For time along the coast, treat yourself to an ice cream at Seascale beach (10 minutes), explore Whitehaven (25 minutes) and its Georgian port or set off to spot seabirds on the cliffs around St Bees (20 minutes).
Rock climbing, scrambling, guided walks, bike hire and horseback riding are all available in the local area. To keep the kids happy, take them to permanent activity centres like go-karting in Maryport (45 minutes) or the indoor climbing wall at Kendal (an hour and 20 minutes).
