Howdy Glamping and Campsite

Syntes om: Everything: the welcome, the campsite, it's quiet location and the facilities. Tom & Andri just the best. We will be back :)

Syntes ikke om: Waze app took me to the wrong farm but that might've been the address from PitchUp. Quick call to Tom who said use Google maps. Got there no problem. And clear instructions where to pitch.

Syntes om: Very convenient overnight stop off enroute to Scotland. We were in a camper on the hard standing which was level. Enjoyed walking around the glamping site- very quirky

Syntes ikke om: Quite a long walk to the toilets and shower from the campsite, all looking a bit ‘end of season’ tired.

Syntes om: I loved how cosy this little campsite was, it was so peaceful, the owner came to welcome us and made my child feel welcome telling her where she could go to play etc, we couldn’t believe how much facilities there was for the price, a full utility room which we didn’t eclectic as we’ve paid more more for just a Porta-loo on site, the location was beautiful and not far from the Lake District, there was no light pollution, it was tidy and peaceful. We will 1000% be back but for longer next time as we loved it so much, our favourite camp to date!

Syntes om: Stunning and unique place, Ive never quite seen a campsite like it. Nice and quiet. The glamping accomodation in the woods was really special, although I took the campervan option. A warm welcome by Andri, Tom and their dogs! Farmhouse kitchen offered toilets, shower, washing up facilities, a washing machine, microwave and the use of a fridge freezer. Plenty of wood to buy and firepits. Far too many sites these days are missing a trick by not using firepits and by not allowing fires. Its what campings all about. Very eco friendly with recycling bins. Tent field is pretty, level and surrounded by trees and an open field next door. Stunning sunsets. Penrith, Ullswater and plenty of heritage sites nearby. I'll be back with Alfie for sure. Pity I cant upload the photographs as Pitch Up websute says they are too small? 🙂‍↕️

Fra bestyreren: Wonderful to hear ! Thank you !!♥️🙏🙏🙏🌿💚🌿

Syntes om: The site was small, flat and surrounded by trees and fields. Absolutely delightful. The walk along the lane to the toilets was lit with a string of lights that gave it a very romantic feel. It was also wonderful to have access to a fridge and freezer and microwave. The owners were extremely welcoming and even invited us to take our food over to theirs to put it on a bbq - so if you like to be social when you go camping this is your place! The fact that you can have firepits and wood can be bought adds even more to the magic of this spot. I can't comment on child friendliness because we didn't have children with us - there aren't any facilities specifically for children but it doesn't have any lakes or anything that could pose a risk, assuming you don't let your children run near the fire pits. I also didn't try to connect to the wifi so can't comment. We were trying to get away from it all....which is why we chose this spot. It is a huge advantage to be able to book for one night only.

Syntes ikke om: The communal space is a square room with the fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, one sink, a book case with some books and a table. Off this are two cubicles, one with a toilet and no sink, the other with a toilet, a tiny sink and a shower with a shower curtain. The description does say there are two toilets and a shower - it would be more accurate to say there is a toilet with a shower in the same cubicle and another toilet. Despite that, we always had access to a toilet when we needed one and to be honest, I only saw one person use the shower (which didn't appeal to me.) the facilities are in an outbuilding attached to the main house - there was one large sink for washing dishes in and for the people from the single toilet to wash their hands in too. We took our dirty dishes home. The facilities really need revamping and felt very grubby, but it doesn't claim to be 'posh' and in fact, might add to the charm for some. The owners had an impromtu 'get together' in the evening to which we were invited but were too tired to join with. It turned out to be very loud, and went on until 12.30am, despite the fact we texted earlier. We were reassured this was a one off and some of the other campers did join in and seemed to be having a great time - but several of us didn't and the bass from the music kept going until much later than 12.30 even though the music was turned down. I was told by someone else that it was extremely peaceful during the week though and I don't doubt that at all.

Fra bestyreren: I m so very happy to hear you won’t be visiting us again … music was turned off before 12 and yes there was chatter around the fire until 12.30 , when I received a txt from you and asked the group of mainly campers to disperse.. it wasn’t overly loud … life is for celebrating and living to the full … respectfully which is certainly what we do here … happy quiet camping to you ♥️

Syntes om: Location, fire pit and the friendly owner took my wife cold water swimming. Peace at last)
