Liked: We loved our stay at Strudda Bank Farm. The pods are beautiful, clean and plenty big enough for our family of 5. We loved our tour of the farm with Farmer Kev and feeding the baby lambs. We will definitely visiting again!!

Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: The hosts are great and let us watch lambing and talked to us about farming life. So many great beaches which are dog friendly. The pod is really nice and has pretty much everything you'll need. Great little park and some goal posts for the kids to play around on.
Disliked: Pillows and bedding could do with an upgrade, but apart from that and the fact we were unlucky with the weather, there wasn't really anything we disliked.

Liked: The pod was great and we enjoyed the firepit for grilling, smores and relaxing by the fire. Our daughter was excited to get to hold a baby chick and help feed the lambs. It was much more than just a place to stay.

Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: We loved everything about this place. The pod was lively and clean. It had everything you would possibly need. farmer Kev took the kids on a tour of the farm and let them hold baby lambs. They collected their own eggs from the chicken coop every morning. We roasted marshmallows on the fire and sat and watched the views. And the peacocks that came to the front door and looked in were beautiful. The kids really enjoyed the playground right in front of the pod aswell. We have already been looking to go again

Liked: The most wonderful stay in such a beautiful location! The pod was perfect, everything you could need for a relaxing stay in the middle of the countryside. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, they are such lovely people! Staying on the farm was such a wonderful experience, getting to collect our own eggs from the chicken coop and seeing the farmer go about his daily routine feeding the animals, with the best doggy entourage!
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Excellent, spotlessly clean accommodation, all the beds were comfy, kids particularly loved the bunk beds. Ensuite shower, toilet, fully equipped kitchen, tv, firepit/bbq. Very quiet working farm location with just 2 pods on site. Great to see the emus, peacock, sheep & free range chickens. Friendly, knowledgeable hosts.
