Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Beautiful location in Thirlmere with a bus stop right outside so perfect if you want to avoid getting stuck in the holiday traffic. Louise was super helpful and friendly - we loved the little on-site farm shop (we had fresh eggs every day!) We stayed in our campervan for its maiden voyage and had great views from our pitch despite the fact it rained almost everyday. I would recommend Stybeck Farm to all my friends and family as it is really reasonably priced for the spot its in. We loved the fact it was on a working farm. Great experience!
Disliked: nothing!

Birchell’s summer house microlodge
Liked: Absolutely stunning location and a perfect central base for so many great walks. Good pub only a 15 minute walk away. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. Loads of animals to see (shout out to the goat especially who was super friendly!)
Disliked: Didn’t like the proximity to the main road (not that the owners can do much about that!) but the noise wasn’t too bad when inside the micro lodge.

Wonderful little site for me and my bus to explore the lakes!
