Herdwick Hideaway camping pod
Liked: Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Even though we didn't have the weather on our side, it really didn't make any difference. The hut was warm and clean. And the views are amazing. We are 100% going back. I'd imagine it's even better in the summer. If you want a chill time. Or a good base to explore, this is the place for you!!

Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: It was worth every penny!
We stayed in the Swaledale Shelter pod and you could tell that when they designed the pod they thought of everything and used the space so well.
We’ve travelled all around the country and stayed in many places, you can normally tell straight away if the host is just in it for the money and don’t put much effort into their accommodation or guests who stay. However, with this place you could tell they cared and were very thoughtful.
The heated floor was a perfect touch and made it very cosy during the night.
We went there with our 3 young children over new years with the intention to lock ourselves away and have a good few nights with no technology and good old fashioned board games.
We would love to visit again maybe in the summer and explore a little as it was a really relaxing stay.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: We had such a lovely time. The pod is cosy and comfortable and in a picturesque and peaceful setting. We were given a tour of the farm and got to meet their friendly prize sheep and even stroke an emu. We're hoping to return. My daughter loved the playground.

Swaledale Shelter camping pod
Liked: Gorgeous pod with absolutely everything you need. Brilliant play area for the kids and was lovely to let them roam free and safe on the site.
Pod was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Farmer kev showed us the emus and hens and even gave us some eggs for breakfast in the morning !
We had a slight issue with the toilet but text Vicky who had sorted it by the time we came back from a trip out . Thank you so much for a lovely stay x
Disliked: Bit of a drive to the nearest shop but our intention was to be remote and enjoy the countryside and that’s what we did :)
