  • In the Cumbrian hills a couple of miles from Witherslack
  • A 15-minute drive from Grange-over-Sands and 25 from Windermere
  • Campfires allowed: firepits for hire and wood for sale on site
How might you fancy a peaceful and well-equipped Lake District place to stay, among the peaceful hills of Cumbria, and with easy access to famed Lake District destinations including Lake Windermere, Ambleside, Cartmel and Kendal? Bed down at quiet and secluded Moss Howe Farm for all the above, a couple of miles from local village Witherslack and 15 minutes' drive from Grange-over-Sands. This is an excellent setting for campfire evenings: guests can arrange firepit hire by adding a request to the Moss Howe team when booking, or use their own barbecues as long as they're raised off the ground and placed on top of the firepit using the supplied grill. A shop and pub are nearby in Witherslack for supplies and other eats. Moss Howe is well equipped, with modern shower, washroom and toilet facilities, plus a tumble dryer in the ladies' shower block, and dishwashing basins just outside. Charging facilities are available for an extra fee; freshwater taps are around the accommodation areas, and wifi is at reception.

Moss Howe Farm offers a peaceful, rural getaway with clean facilities and friendly staff. Praised for its charming shop, pop-up bar, and pizza van. Beautiful views and a great Lake District base. Minor notes on muddy pitches and shower sensors.

Lodge

Liked Very welcoming, clean and organised. We stayed in the fox’s cabin and it was one of the best we ever stayed on. The bed was so comfortable I took a picture of the mattress brand to enquire to get own for myself. Kitchen was well supplied with pans and cutlery. The cabin is small but the outside kitchen and garden area makes up for it.

Disliked I wish the shower was hotter (it was warm but I like it quite hot) - i wish we could control the temperature.

Valley View power optional grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked Location, views and walks. Little shop but, not much choice. Wardens really nice friendly people and helpful. Toilets and washing up all fab.

Disliked Showers (stupid rubbish sensors). Pitches small and quite close to your neighbours. Could be a nightmare with the wrong crowd (we like quiet sites).

Local attractions

A particularly scenic way to explore these surroundings is atop a horse, so make your way first to the Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre, 10 minutes' drive away, for rides through the woods or on the local fell. A big sheltered arena is also at the centre if you'd like to practise your cantering first. If horses aren't for you, take to the car instead for the spectacularly scenic 25-minute drive to Windermere and Consiton Water via the A590, among the views of the east side of the lake to Bowness, Troutbeck and Ambleside. You'll need at least a day at Britain's biggest natural water lake, for steam ferry rides from Bowness Bay to Waterhead at Ambleside, or boating trips around the water and Windermere's 18 islands. Also have a potter around Lakeside Pier at the southern end of the lake (the ferry from Bowness finishes here), for the Aquarium of the Lakes showcasing Windermere's wildlife. Hikes, mountain biking and lake and mountain views are at Grizedale Forest, 35 minutes away.
