2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: Gorgeous views from the safari tent which was well equipped and set up lovely! Really enjoyed our stay on the quiet campsite. Remember your warm clothes as we found it a little chilly in the tent as there is no heating like some other glamping tents may have, however lovely and cosy in the comfy beds! The showers were clean and powerful. This was our first time using composting toilets which were kept clean although they did smell occasionally we wouldn't say this put us off our visit. Unfortunately somebody must have been smoking in the toilet and that smell for us was far worse. We would recommend this campsite to others and would love to come back! The children loved the oppertunity to see the live stock and it was lovely to wake up and see the sheep so close.

Liked: Gorgeous views, well kept small site with simple but pleasant facilities. The baby loved watching the cows come in to be milked. We'll be back!
Disliked: The only sink is quite high up, my arms got tired doing the dishes! A little step would be useful for us shorter campers!

Shepherd's camping pod
Liked: Couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the farm. The pod itself was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the provision of stove, kettle and cutlery was great. The setting itself is stunning and waking up to that view was a real treat. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities.
Disliked: Perhaps the only point to mention would be that the fire wood provided was too damp to use so we bought our own which was no real inconvenience. Didn’t manage to get hot water in the shower but again this wasn’t a problem for us.

From the manager: Hi Sophie, thank you for your lovely review - so glad you had a nice stay. The showers need to be run nice and hot with lots of flow to get the water heater to ignite! You should have mentioned the logs - we’ve had quite a bit of rain - I could have replaced them with a dry bag. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back in the future. Joe
Peaceful and beautiful

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Really enjoyed a few nights at this simple, quiet campsite. It offered far views over the valleys and hills (when the clouds cleared!) - every pitch had access to a firepit which was great on chilly evenings. Having direct access up onto the limestone pavement was a treat.... and the views got even better! Lovely warm welcome from the owner.
Disliked: Not having a separate sink for hand washing after the loo was difficult, i really didnt feel comfortable washing hands and cleaning teeth in the same sink dishes get washed in.

Liked: Excellent customer service, Joe kept us updated on the condition of the field as the weather was poor leading up to our stay. We had no problem with the access (camping in VW) and was so impressed with the facilities and how clean everything was. Beautiful location, just stunning views! We were so lucky to have the place to ourselves with just the sheep, horses and cows for neighbours! Despite the miserable weather, we had such a lovely weekend in this peaceful spot. Loved that there was a quick access up to the craggs which is a fab walk. We also walked to the pub in Lupton, which was a fairly easy walk but didn’t really rate the pub itself - expensive for lunch and the staff were more attentive to locals so would give that a miss next time we come.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The view, the quiet, the level well-groomed pitches, the simple clean facilities, the smallness and (mostly) the weather! Also liked the advice to approach from the south west. Lanes from the other directions are VERY narrow with very few passing places.
Disliked: No grumbles at all.
