What customers say
This well-maintained and spacious campsite offers beautiful countryside views and is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful owners. Guests highlight the clean facilities, including warm showers and toilets. Children enjoy the farm animals, and the location is convenient for local attractions like an ice cream farm and town. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised regarding the lack of mirrors in showers and the basic nature of portaloos.

Liked Friendliness of the owners was second to none. Always there to help. Very clean campsite will definitely go back. Kids had a brill time. Location brilliant, about 20 mins drive from Coniston lake. About 2 minutes drive to the nearest shop. Owners kept noise to a minimum from other campers.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Location is ideal, owners are lovely and accommodating, little tuck shop and option to rent a firepit/buy wood. Facilities are brilliant.
Disliked Only thing to improve on would be more showers/toilets as queues form due to amount of people camping as opposed to the amount of toilets/showers

Liked We had a really nice couple of nights away at Hayfield, the atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. Bev was very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Our children loved the animals that they were allowed to feed. We were a group of 2 families and have said we would love to return next summer.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great campsite, peaceful location and large field with views and level pitches and the cut grass was a treat as was the perfectly functional loos and hot showers. We appreciated the thoughtful extras: washing up sink and even soap. The very reasonable rent of fire pits and firewood to purchase meant we had everything we needed. Thank you!
Disliked Nothing - all was great
