Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We have just stayed for 3 nights as a family of 5. What a lovely, quiet and spacious site! The field was very sheltered from the wind and so much space for the kids to play. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They keep the facilities nice and clean. The owners made such a fuss of our kids talking to them about the farm animals and letting them stroke the little kitten! They also provided us with a firepit and wood. There are plenty of shops really near, and a good few takeaways. It is really close to the Safari Zoo, as well as being well situated to other attractions around Coniston/Windermere. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. Thank you both 😊

Liked: Nice quiet field, friendly family farm. Porta Loo very clean and able to buy logs, water etc on site. 5-10 min walk to pub and 20-30 mins into the heart of Ulverston.
Disliked: Lane into field a bit rough on the bottom of the car. Would benefit from some hardcore to raise the ruts up .
