What customers say
This small, peaceful site on a working farm offers stunning views and friendly, helpful owners. Pitches are level with water and EHU. Facilities, including toilets and hot showers, are clean and well-maintained. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere, the farm animals, and the many resident cats. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District's fells and nearby beaches. Some minor issues with pitch size and Wi-Fi availability were noted.

Enjoyable stay
Fully-serviced gravel motorhome pitch
Liked Remoteness, scenic views and its on a working farm.
Disliked Larger sign for Harebeck holidays or the name of the main farm.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are in the Lake District National Park where signs need to be unobtusive. At the end of our lane there is a sign for Thornbank Farm, with a picture of cows and sheep on it and others from our milk co-op with the farm name on. and smaller ones for Harebeck Cottage. Smaller Directional signs are there for our glamping site.
If it is night time these may not be as easily seen as they are set back a little from the main road.
I try to send to send texts with directions to everyone.

A cosy stay on a working farm with great views.
Anonymous Gypsy caravan
Liked The caravan was very cosy, with a little fan heater to keep it warm during an unseasonably cold June. The owners were friendly and lent me an air fryer from one of the other pods. This was alongside a kettle, mini fridge and toaster. There were lovely views from the caravan while having my breakfast.
The showers were hot and there were towels and a hair dryer in the bathroom. Very welcome after a soggy walking day! The owners kindly took my very wet boots into the house to dry overnight, which was wonderful.
It's also a cat lovers heaven! Very friendly with a bunch of tiny kittens running about.
Disliked It would have been extra helpful to have a bit more info in advance - that bedding is provided, so no need to bring your own and which appliances are in which caravan etc. just to help with food planning and packing.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: You made friends with Mopsy my favourite car she is friendly and quiet.
On the description on pitchup it does state bedding and towels are provided. It also states there is a light , toaster, kettle and minifridge in thr bowtop.
Descriptions for the Shepherds hut and Pod are seperate.
I will look onto this to ensure the site has the correct information displayed in the correct place.
I only provide travel advice when contacting guests.
Great - would defo recommend.
