Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Such a laidback attmophere, amazing back to basics camping. Had a great stay, and the views are incredible.
Disliked The bush heading into the camping ground NEEDS trimming, scratched the hell out of my van.
Farm dogs hanging around the campsite whcih is fine only it meant our dog needed to be out in the van alot which is very unfair.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Calm ruralness, excellent views. Fires are allowed. Friendly host. And, it is a farm! With farm animals and farm dogs!!
We had a bad experience prior, so we had to change our booking period (1 day earlier), no problems, no costs. Very lovely.

Excellent site, clean facilities and lovely owners.
Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful working farm. Lovely owners who were helpful and kind. I managed to book a railway pod as it was pouring and didn’t fancy putting the tent up and then back down in the rain. Very comfortable and easy walk into Broughton in Furness with all amenities.

Bring your own firewood!
Rail camping pod
Liked Lovely dogs
Disliked I understand the business owners may want an evening off every now and again, however I think it is unreasonable to prohibit guests from bringing their own firewood, whilst also being unable to provide a reliable alternative.
I am glad we didn’t travel in winter, and we urge anyone visiting to bring their own firewood if they wish to have a warm night’s sleep

From the manager: Ohh dear I m so sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay. We do sell fire wood at £7 per sack, £1.50 for kindling which I think is very reasonable. I state that fire wood sales finish at 7.00pm although we do often get knocks on the door after hours, some times up until 10.00pm, and if I’m still awake I greet with a smile, although at that time summoning a smile take a little more effort.
We do ask visitors to buy their wood from us for the stoves to try and prevent guests burning wood/coal/ heat logs which are unsuitable. Heat logs and coal have cracked our stoves in the past and logs too long do to fit in, encourage guests to leave the stove doors open which is a health and safety risk. I don’t make up rules to be awkward I add them as experiences force my hand so to try and keep running my little farm Campsite safe and manageable.
Thanks for staying and I hope you had a pleasant journey home.

Liked Umgebung, göttliche Ruhe auf dem Platz, sehr freundliche Besitzer.
Der Ausblick ist ein Traum!
Disliked Ich finde die Betten in dem Railpod nicht ganz vertrauenswürdig, habe dennoch, vor allem aufgrund der Stille, sehr gut geschlafen.
Ist rustikal, muss man mögen.
