Outside, you'll find an off-ground fire pit too. Great handmade facilities are nearby, including rustic hot showers and toilets in a converted horse trailer. On-site, you'll find small ponds dotted around, attracting various wildlife. There is also a bigger lake has a jetty installed and is open for swimming. So don't forget to bring your kit to take a dip! There are plenty of countryside walks nearby and a pub down the road too.

A great stay at the Holmsted Himalayas, we all enjoyed it. We particularly loved the swimming pond with the kayaks and the community tent made it more friendly for the kids and adults alike. The facilities were kept clean and everyone appreciated the warm showers.
Great location, amazing views
