Liked: Everything about this place. This was my 4th visit to The Tup, 6th visit in all (2 camping trips) that tells you everything you need to know about Jane and her land. One of the nicest people you will ever meet and we have built a great relationship. Itâs always great to see her and the Tup itâs self is an experience in its self. Such a great little building and even last night I was sitting looking about thinking about its little quirks. Trust me, if you love peace and quiet, you will love this place!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you it was good to see you both.

Liked: Prefect little getaway. The tup hup itself was amazing the kids loved it. With the log burner making it extra cosy. Set amongst a working farm with sheep walking around made it extra special for my little girl. My son was playing in the river just behind the Tup Hup which we couldnât get him out of. Only a short drive to Kendal and Windermere. The hostess Jayne was lovely and made our stay very enjoyable and Iâm sure weâll be back again.
Disliked: Nothing. Not a dislike, but just make sure you bring an extra duvet or blanket in the colder months.

Liked: Amazing location - breathtaking views everywhere, sheep everywhere, beautiful skies at night and close enough to so many landmarks! Peaceful - it really felt like we were the only people in the world in this little hut! Kids could play outside without us having to worry about them, gorgeous walks all around just watch out for the poo! Really cosy - we pushed both sofa beds together and on a night had the fire going with card games etc lovely family time (when the kids weren't fighting) electric metre there is really good we put four pound in and only spent about two after two nights there! Never done anything like this before, usually pitch a tent & camp that way but so glad we tried this little hut and will definitely be back!
Disliked: Toilets were a little bit smelly when flushing the chain!

Liked: Brilliant little bothy in a great location by a little river and we had the place all to ourselves apart from the sheep đ The wood burner is excellent, it was all we needed to boil the kettle and kept us very cosy of a night. Highly recommend a stay here anytime of year.

Liked: I stayed in the Tup Hull. Fantastic quiet location and fantastic hut. We loved the sheep living amongst our home for the weekend. A short walk up the beck and you'll see a few waterfalls and generally great walking in the surrounding area. It really felt miles away from everything but just a stones throw from the A6. Kendal is nearby and we found a village (Burneside) that had a pub, shop and chippy is you need to stock up. Generally very accommodating and we have already been recommending it to friends.
Disliked: The only downside to the lovely sheep, was the sheep poo but it didn't affect out trip at all

Liked: Lovely site isolated with a pop up campsite in next field. Very small though so didn't notice they were there. Make sure you read the description it's accurate. No running water or showers but more than adequate toilet block. You will need ÂŁ1/ÂŁ2 coins for electric and bring your own logs in milder weather. None of this is an issue as it clearly states this in the description. Kids could free roam have a 10 and 11 year old boy. They loved it came back with treasures (horns and bones) they loved this me not so much. Follow the stream up and you will find a couple of lovely little waterfalls which are worth a visit and very close to site Stunning place really felt like we were alone, well other than the sheep lots and lots of sheep! Rather cure although the dog did decide it was a free for all buffet on the poop. Host was lovely and very welcoming will be visiting again! Keep doing what you are doing wonderful place.
