The bell tents and firepits

  • Simple bell tents on a working farm in Cumbria’s Eden Valley
  • Half an hour’s drive to the Lake District; 25 minutes to Carlisle
  • Wild-style glamping on grass, with simple toilet/shower facilities
Located in the stunning Eden Valley, Stone Raise Farm is a great base from which to explore the fells, lakes and peaks of Cumbria. When you arrive, spacious bell tents are already pitched and just waiting for you to settle in – all you need to do is get your bedding installed on the beds and get into that holiday vibe as fast as possible. This is wild-style camping rather than full-service glamping (simple facilities include compost toilets and a solar shower) with just a handful of bell tents on a working farm with stunning country views, yet reasonably close to Carlisle’s handy supermarkets (25 minutes’ drive) for anything that you’ve forgotten to bring with you. Once you get down to the serious business of exploring the countryside in this handsome corner of Cumbria, you’ll find riverside walks along the Eden and a choice of national parks to visit. The mountains, hiking routes and watersports of the Lake District are less than 30 minutes’ drive away, while the North Pennines National Landscape serves up rugged walking and cycling routes over moorland to dramatic waterfalls. You can barbecue on site, but if you don’t want to cook there are village pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, where you’ll get a warm reception, local beers and comfort food.

What customers say

Guests rave about the stunning views and lovely, off-grid spot. Hosts are consistently called great, helpful, and attentive. Comfy tents & good facilities impress. While the peaceful escape is a highlight, some experienced noise from others. Close to Cotehill pub is a plus.

Bell tent

Liked Beautiful location, the views are absolutely stunning. The fire pit and extra wood, at a small charge of £5, we found to be a lovely addition to the trip. The tents are large and spacious. The hosts are lovely, very helpful and attentive. The facilities are basic, but it’s an off grid experience and you get exactly that.

Disliked Not really anything to do with the site itself but we had some very noisy neighbours drinking until 2:30am then screaming all night, meaning the 3 of us are absolutely shattered today. Again, absolutely no reflection on the hosts or facilities, but it definitely negatively impacted our trip, which is such a shame.

Local attractions

Historic Carlisle (25 minutes' drive) is known as ‘the great border city’; it’s well worth a visit to tour its medieval cathedral and mighty castle and get a feel for the history of the region at the Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery. Racing fans can have a flutter on the horses at Carlisle Racecourse (15 minutes), and if you’d quite like some gentle physical activity yourself, there are golf courses also within 15 minutes’ drive of Stone Raise Farm. If you prefer to exercise in less manicured surroundings, head straight for the Lake District National Park, with its hiking and mountain-biking options on peak and forest trails. Keen to get out on the water? Explore Ullswater (35 minutes) on a boat cruise, or hire a kayak to explore its scenic shoreline. Take the kids dinghy sailing on the lake at Talkin Tarn Country Park (25 minutes), or to spot endangered red pandas at the Lake District Wildlife Park (45 minutes). To combine family walks cleverly with a history lesson, hike a length of Hadrian’s Wall and learn about Cumbrian life 2,000 years ago at the Roman Army Museum (both half an hour’s drive).
