Shepherd's hut
Liked: Lovely hut in a lovely setting. Couldn't wish for anything more, would definitely stay again. The hut was clean and tidy and contained everything we needed. The host was very helpful and quick to reply. Would recommend the fox and pheasant inn, in Armathwaite. Village shop in Armathwaite was also very handy for wood for the log burner and other supplies. Our dog love it too
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Camping pod
Liked: We loved everything about our stay. We stayed in the pod and It was equipped with everything we needed and more for our weekend getaway. The kids had a lovely space to run around freely as well as the adults having a beautiful view. It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The rowing boat was a brilliant touch and added a little extra fun. The views and walks around were wonderful. We enjoyed the fire pit to toast marshmallows and to keep warm each night. Shops are not too far away either, no more than a 10-15 minute drive to local co-op. It was our first holiday/getaway as a family and it honestly was brilliant. We can’t wait to come again.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Highly recommend. We really loved the Shepherds Hut, it was really well equipped and spotless!! Everyone was helpful & super friendly. We are dog lovers so the resident pooches were an added bonus. Gorgeous site and far enough away from other guests it didn’t feel cramped at all. Loved the little boat too, a fun touch. We stayed with friends who booked the cabin and didn’t realise it wasn’t in the same field but it wasn’t an issue for us. Our dog loved roaming around the open field and pond area. We headed to Duke Of Cumberland for a pub lunch and would recommend, especially the steak pie! Would absolutely stay again. Peaceful weekend on a gorgeous site, just what we wanted :) thank you!!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: A peaceful location with everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay in the shepherds hut. Morning walks around the grounds the sun beaming down, birds singing , the smell of breakfast cooking and fresh air was wonderful. A very clean cosy well equipped accommodation. Ruth literally provides everything you need. We will return here. A hidden gem full of serenity.
Disliked: Nothing

Cabin
Liked: Privacy and tranquility. Comfy bed. Watching the wildlife. Attention to detail from the owners re comfort. Good shower and washing up.
Disliked: Cooking in the room would be a bit unrealistic. It’s great for good weather. Loo a bit further away than we expected but not too far

Camping pod
Liked: Overall we had an absolutely fantastic stay and Ruth was amazing throughout. Totally made us feel comfortable and we were able to contact during and after the stay (when I thought I’d left something on site😬🤣) -The little rowing boat on site which is available to use whenever you like for free. -Everything you need is in the pod: pots, pans, cups, cutlery, heater, extension lead, etc -Very comfortable bed and bedding included- I even searched online for the duvet once we left! -Clean toilet block with shower. -Complimentary jar of biscuits. -There is a large grass area for children/dogs to play around on so I’d recommend bringing a ball or some games as there’s not much in the area to do with kids. -Overall a lovely, relaxing, clean site, and we would definitely stay again.
Disliked: -Not much around (about a 20 min drive to local Tesco) however this is not the site’s fault, just worth pointing out. -Again, not the site’s fault but the description states there is a fire pit but doesn’t state if wood is provided or is available to buy- it isn’t- therefore we had to travel to the nearest shops to find some. -The rules when you first go in state that dogs are absolutely not allowed on the beds, which although incredibly difficult with our dog, we did manage to adhere to, but if you have a larger dog or it is used to sleeping in beds, the pod doesn’t have much room for them to stay on.

Liked: Everything, so peaceful, dog and child ran free for 2 days and it felt safe. we loved the boat and went round the dub several times the owners were lovely and resident dogs were friendly too and we even managed to spot the deer as well. Everything we needed was there bonus when ur travelling with a child as my boot was already full as I have to take the bike with us everywhere at the moment. We are all gutted to be home and will definitely be back again.
