Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: Great accommodation, everything you need and lots of nice little extras. Great for kids with goats, chickens and emus on the doorstep and nice little play area. Owners were friendly and really helpful coming out at night in the rain with clean bedding when our daughter was sick.
Location is also perfect peaceful, stunning views and close to the beach. Can't recommend enough.

Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: Fabulous clean pod with everything we needed. The views were amazing day and night! Farmer Kev was very welcoming and informative on the little tour of his farm animals and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge. The amount of bird song was abundant and watching the animals from the pod with their young was lovely, especially the goats. Fire pit looked great and wood was already at the pod, but we were too shattered to stay up and light it!
The beach at Seascale was lovely with a great cafe, chippy, ice creams etc and a clean sand a land sea for paddling.
We will definitely return with the grandkids.
Oh and the fresh eggs are delicious!
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Even though we didn't have the weather on our side, it really didn't make any difference. The hut was warm and clean. And the views are amazing. We are 100% going back. I'd imagine it's even better in the summer. If you want a chill time. Or a good base to explore, this is the place for you!!

Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: It was worth every penny!
We stayed in the Swaledale Shelter pod and you could tell that when they designed the pod they thought of everything and used the space so well.
We’ve travelled all around the country and stayed in many places, you can normally tell straight away if the host is just in it for the money and don’t put much effort into their accommodation or guests who stay. However, with this place you could tell they cared and were very thoughtful.
The heated floor was a perfect touch and made it very cosy during the night.
We went there with our 3 young children over new years with the intention to lock ourselves away and have a good few nights with no technology and good old fashioned board games.
We would love to visit again maybe in the summer and explore a little as it was a really relaxing stay.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike
