About Howgills Hideaway

This is a charming farm that has been in the hands of the Stainton family for three generations, set in an idyllic part of the country. At the farm, you'll have the 350 sheep, young livestock being reared and free range hens for your friendly neighbours! Why not taste the farm's fresh eggs or say hello to the four legged residents. If you fancy glamping, there are three enticing pods here that are sure to tempt you. All pods include their own private kitchen, with an electric hob, microwave, fridge and toaster so that you can rustle up something tasty. Comfortable and beautifully furnished, they offer warmth, dryness and a touch of glam in these lovely surroundings. All the pods have their own decking and patio with outdoor seating and combined firepit and BBQ. If you fancy pampering yourself in the morning you can order a breakfast basket (for an extra charge) and it will be delivered to your pod. Alternatively, choose the furnished bell tent raised on its own decking with space for a family of 5. It sits in a secluded spot next to the beck it has its own outdoor camp kitchen, picnic table, firepit and BBQ. If you have all the camping gear but don't want the faff of putting up the tent, then the unfurnished bell tent is ideal for you. A 5m bell tent with porch, all ready and set up for you. Travelling with a larger group or friends or family? You'll love a static caravan with all the amenities you need inside.

The glamping pods are available from January to September. Bell tents are open from May to September.

A note from the site themselves...

We have welcomed guests to the farm since back in the 1990's. I actually first met David (my husband) whilst holidaying on the farm with my family and many years later a holiday romance resulted in marriage.

It is amazing that I would end up living in the cottage that we used to holiday in! While David is busy working on the farm with our dogs Belle and Jess, I run my own business providing business advice and book-keeping support to other local farm businesses.

We have three children Jen, Beckie and Chris. Together, we love welcoming visitors to the farm and have made many friends over the years. We hope you become a regular soon, Siobhan

Pod - Glamping PodsMar 2024

Had the most amazing time at Howgills Hideaway! Highly recommended and we have recommended to friends and family! Lovely and clean and the pods are very cosy and very warm! Perfect little stay away from the hustle and bustle. The pods were very well equipped and there was nothing that we needed as it was all there. The honesty shop was perfect, with the use of games and DVDS along with books that you could borrow! There was nothing that the owners hadn't thought of that you might need on a little weekend away glamping. The outdoor toilets and showers were clean and smelt really fresh! Just an overall lovely stay with the most beautiful views! Already booked to come in back in July!

Amazing stay!

Siobhan and David were brilliant hosts. On arrival, it was heavy rain but they still made the effort to come and say hello to us! The pods were very clean and with a very comfy bed! Would definitely recommend to anyone and very very good value for money! Thank you again. We will be back soon :)

Pod - Glamping PodsApr 2024

This was a nice relaxing night away. Clean pod in lovely surroundings. The farmer and his wife were lovely also. Great value and the little shop on site is very useful. Remember you only have cooker rings and a microwave when you pack food. If you forget there are shops a short distance away.
