What customers say
This small, quiet farm site offers stunning views and helpful owners. Clean facilities and well-equipped glamping were praised, as were the peaceful vibe, nearby walks, coast, and farm animals. Wi-Fi and some dated amenities were occasional drawbacks, but the owner is responsive.

Sheep Fold shepherd's hut
Liked A great little site, friendly owners and fabulous views.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We try to help guests where we can offering our local knowledge if asked. When there is no cloud down to lower levels there are fabulous views of fells surrounding the Wasdale Valley with Harter Fell and Coniston Old Man in the distance.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. Personal circumstances mean the site has not had the usual lick of paint that we usually do in early spring. Yes my mower was broken and needed a part imported from Germany even though it is a British make. We are currently trying to bring the place back up to our usual standards, Glad you enjoyed your stay.
We loved staying on the farm,…
Gypsy wagon
Liked We loved staying on the farm, looking out over the fields to the cows & sheep, Meeting the farm cats.
Such a peaceful location, I slept better than I do at home.
There was everything we needed there, bedding, pillows & towels.
Heater, air fryer, toaster, little fridge & kettle plus plates and cutlery.
We would definitely stay again 💕

Liked We went to sleep listening to the birds and woke listening to the birds , very peaceful and quiet, especially as there was only us and another van there .

Sheep Fold shepherd's hut
Liked The location and the friendliness of the owner.
Disliked Bed could be confier
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I understand the bed is not the best hence we provide a mattress topper and when funds allow we will look to replace this sofa bed. Thank you for your comments
Enjoyable stay
FHU gravel RV campsite
Liked Remoteness, scenic views and its on a working farm.
Disliked Larger sign for Harebeck holidays or the name of the main farm.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are in the Lake District National Park where signs need to be unobtusive. At the end of our lane there is a sign for Thornbank Farm, with a picture of cows and sheep on it and others from our milk co-op with the farm name on. and smaller ones for Harebeck Cottage. Smaller Directional signs are there for our glamping site.
If it is night time these may not be as easily seen as they are set back a little from the main road.
I try to send to send texts with directions to everyone.

A cosy stay on a working farm with great views.
Anonymous Gypsy wagon
Liked The caravan was very cosy, with a little fan heater to keep it warm during an unseasonably cold June. The owners were friendly and lent me an air fryer from one of the other pods. This was alongside a kettle, mini fridge and toaster. There were lovely views from the caravan while having my breakfast.
The showers were hot and there were towels and a hair dryer in the bathroom. Very welcome after a soggy walking day! The owners kindly took my very wet boots into the house to dry overnight, which was wonderful.
It's also a cat lovers heaven! Very friendly with a bunch of tiny kittens running about.
Disliked It would have been extra helpful to have a bit more info in advance - that bedding is provided, so no need to bring your own and which appliances are in which caravan etc. just to help with food planning and packing.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: You made friends with Mopsy my favourite car she is friendly and quiet.
On the description on pitchup it does state bedding and towels are provided. It also states there is a light , toaster, kettle and minifridge in thr bowtop.
Descriptions for the Shepherds hut and Pod are seperate.
I will look onto this to ensure the site has the correct information displayed in the correct place.
I only provide travel advice when contacting guests.
Great - would defo recommend.
