About the site
For a peaceful escape in the Lake District National Park, this site offers a combination of countryside charm, wildlife, and comfort. Tucked beneath the slopes of Black Combe, this family-run working farm is surrounded by unspoilt scenery, birdsong, and open skies. For campers, there's something to suit everyone. The Streamside pitches and grass electric pitches are set beside a gently running beck, ideal for tents and small campervans. Each pitch has its own fire pit, with some car-free spots available across the stream for a peaceful, family-friendly camping experience. The hardstanding electric pitches provide 16 amp hook ups, private grass areas, and level, all-weather bases for caravans, campervans, and motorhomes up to 8m in length. For a more back-to-nature stay, Bramless and Little Mead Fields are open in summer only, offering non-electric pitches with wide-open views. Or, start your stay in style with one of four glamping options. The beautifully crafted Roundhouse sleeps four and includes a double bed, heating, a log burner, electricity, and a fully equipped kitchen. Three glamping cabins - Black Combe (sleeps 6), Wholebarrow, and Hook Knot (each sleeping 4) offer ensuite shower rooms, private decking, and the option to add a hot tub for a touch of luxury. Right next door, guests can experience the world's only BHS-approved Heavy Horse Riding Centre, home to the Cumbrian Heavy Horses. From gentle taster rides to exhilarating fell hacks, riders of all abilities can meet and ride these iconic Shires, Clydesdales, and Suffolk Punches. The farm's ancient Baystone Bank Woodland and winding stream provide habitat for birds and wildlife, while the peaceful valley setting makes the perfect base for exploring the South Lakes. Walks lead straight from the site to Black Combe and White Combe, with Haverigg Beach, Coniston Water, and the Cumbrian Coastal Path just a short drive away. Guests can enjoy clean, modern facilities with showers, toilets, a washing-up area, and a seasonal café and shop serving breakfast, light lunches, and local treats. Each pitch includes a private fire pit, and raised BBQs are welcome. Up to two dogs are also allowed per pitch.
