Spanning over 600 acres of farmland, it makes an ideal romantic break, a family adventure, and anything in between. There are two glamping pods open all year, both with underfloor heating. Each pod includes an ensuite bathroom with complimentary toiletries, a Smart TV, and a well-equipped kitchen with kettle, microwave and fridge/freezer, plus electric and gas. Outside, both have private decking with seating. Pheasant Field sleeps four (two adults and two children) and features a skylight window for stargazing under dark skies. The sleeping setup includes a double bed and a sofa bed/futon. It also has the largest decking area and a dedicated dog pod outside.

The nearby market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is just ten minutes away, with Devil's Bridge, independent shops, boutiques and a popular Thursday Farmers' Market. The coast is a short 20 minute drive away, and offers beaches such as Silverdale Cove and Hest Bank Beach.

A note from the site themselves...

Hi, welcome to our site, we're the Barker family. We have farmed in this area for generations, and you will likely see James, Barry and Kevin farming the land during your stay.

We are three families made up of James and Lynda in the old farmhouse (Mum and Dad Barker), and then you are likely to meet Danielle, Kevin and their two children, who also live on site and Cath, Barry and their three keen little farmers, who are based just a few miles down the road.

We are a livestock farm with over 1000 sheep that lamb from January to May as well as a herd of beef cattle and calves. The sheep are often in the neighbouring field to the pods and they love to come over to the fence and say hi to our guests.

We want everyone to have an amazing experience, so whether you are on a family getaway, a couples retreat, a walking holiday or anything in between, we would love to have you stay with us.

Keer Valley Glamping is ideal for...

Couples
Older children (13+)
Peace and quiet
Young children
