  • In the Cumbrian hills a couple of miles from Witherslack
  • A 15-minute drive from Grange-over-Sands and 25 from Windermere
  • Campfires allowed: firepits for hire and wood for sale on site
How might you fancy a peaceful and well-equipped Lake District place to stay, among the peaceful hills of Cumbria, and with easy access to famed Lake District destinations including Lake Windermere, Ambleside, Cartmel and Kendal? Bed down at quiet and secluded Moss Howe Farm for all the above, a couple of miles from local village Witherslack and 15 minutes' drive from Grange-over-Sands. This is an excellent setting for campfire evenings: guests can arrange firepit hire by adding a request to the Moss Howe team when booking, or use their own barbecues as long as they're raised off the ground and placed on top of the firepit using the supplied grill. A shop and pub are nearby in Witherslack for supplies and other eats. Moss Howe is well equipped, with modern shower, washroom and toilet facilities, plus a tumble dryer in the ladies' shower block, and dishwashing basins just outside. Charging facilities are available for an extra fee; freshwater taps are around the accommodation areas, and wifi is at reception.

What customers say

Moss Howe Farm gets props for its beautiful, peaceful setting & friendly staff. Guests loved the clean amenities, shop, and pizza. Many enjoyed the quiet, roomy pitches, though some mentioned low shower pressure and weak Wi-Fi. It’s a great spot for a relaxing escape with awesome walks nearby.

Power optional grass tent or campervan campsite (large)

Liked Brilliant campsite which is a firm favourite with our family. Makes camping feel luxury when you can get a really good coffee in the morning. The shop is brilliant if you have forgotten anything and they were so helpful letting us borrow an extension lead for the power supply.

Powered grass tent or campervan campsite (large)

Liked People, staff, facilities, area was great spot.

Disliked Just a little more space between pitches would be cool byt most people wpuld be happy with the space. and its hard pitching tent cause there are alot of stones and rocks under the grass so most people couldn't get pegs in properly.

Rachel W.

Power optional grass tent or campervan campsite (medium)

Liked Great campsite with spacious, well-kept pitches. Facilities were spotless, and the showers had excellent pressure and temperature. The owner was welcoming and personally showed me to my pitch. The on-site shop was well-stocked, with fair prices, some items even cheaper than the high street. Free wifi which was strong which was great for my girls. Bonus points for pizza nights on Wednesdays and Sundays. Easy to find and set in a peaceful location — would happily stay again.

Local attractions

A particularly scenic way to explore these surroundings is atop a horse, so make your way first to the Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre, 10 minutes' drive away, for rides through the woods or on the local fell. A big sheltered arena is also at the centre if you'd like to practise your cantering first. If horses aren't for you, take to the car instead for the spectacularly scenic 25-minute drive to Windermere and Consiton Water via the A590, among the views of the east side of the lake to Bowness, Troutbeck and Ambleside. You'll need at least a day at Britain's biggest natural water lake, for steam ferry rides from Bowness Bay to Waterhead at Ambleside, or boating trips around the water and Windermere's 18 islands. Also have a potter around Lakeside Pier at the southern end of the lake (the ferry from Bowness finishes here), for the Aquarium of the Lakes showcasing Windermere's wildlife. Hikes, mountain biking and lake and mountain views are at Grizedale Forest, 35 minutes away.
