Ideally located in the Yorkshire Dales and near the Lakes, Howgills Hideaway is a base that's hard to beat. Come and recharge your batteries - fuelled by stunning Lakeland views - in a glamping pod (with an en-suite option), bell tent or spacious holiday caravan. All around you are walks in the Howgill Fells, while it's not too far to Windermere, Kendal and Wensleydale.

Standard glamping pod

After reading only good reviews, I had booked at Howgills Hideway for 5 nights (family of 3 adults) in a standard clamping pod. We arrived at the site after driving a very narrow bendy road with few passing places. Siobhan, the owner, was friendly and helpful after asking for swimming spots. The BBQ hamper (meat & vegetarian) we ordered was very good. The surroundings are beautiful with lovely views. Unfortunately our standard pod. Wasn't very clean and full of cobwebs, I had to clean the kitchen drawers and shelves, and the BBQ grill before use and I swept the patio too. The kettle hadn't been descaled for a while, didn't use the toaster or microwave. Some dishes & cutlery were missing. It was very small, only two chairs inside and not enough space for your clothes, but we left some of our stuff in the car. I wouldn't call this a glamping pod. Though the double bed was comfortable and clean bedding was provided, the sofa bed (small mattress topper provided) was very hard and uncomfortable. We had a massive problem with flies inside as no fly screen on window or door. Very hot to sleep with window closed. We had to buy a fly screen to be able to sleep. A fan in the summer time would be nice, but a fly screen on window is a must. The kids we saw enjoyed there stay as lot's of toys & trampoline and big a lawn to play on. Maybe we were unlucky with our pod, but I wouldn't recommend it for more than two people for more than one night, but we still enjoyed our stay, because the weather was great and we sat outside after a day of walking in the evenings with nice views.

This was a nice relaxing night away. Clean pod in lovely surroundings. The farmer and his wife were lovely also. Great value and the little shop on site is very useful. Remember you only have cooker rings and a microwave when you pack food. If you forget, there are shops a short distance away.

Had the most amazing time at Howgills Hideaway! Highly recommended and we have recommended to friends and family! Lovely and clean and the pods are very cosy and very warm! Perfect little stay away from the hustle and bustle. The pods were very well equipped and there was nothing that we needed as it was all there. The honesty shop was perfect, with the use of games and DVDS along with books that you could borrow! There was nothing that the owners hadn't thought of that you might need on a little weekend away glamping. The outdoor toilets and showers were clean and smelt really fresh! Just an overall lovely stay with the most beautiful views! Already booked to come in back in July!
Brilliant pod and well equipped

We stayed for one night, the park was perfect. The little honesty shop was the cutest, even though we didn't buy anything it had everything, worth knowing for next time. The breakfast basket was so fresh and tasty! Pod was clean and welcoming with cookies, tea/coffee and milk with a welcome card! Toilets are in a great area and so clean. Amazing stay!
Amazing stay!

Really pleasant stay at this site. Feels remote, peaceful and quiet but is only 20 mins from Sedbergh and 40 mins from South Lakes. Lovely camping pods, would definitely recommend!

Just come back from a wonderful stay at Howgills Hideaway. The facilities are the best I've ever known at a site like this- the cleanest shower/toilet block ever! The honesty shop has everything you need. It's a beautiful location and the host, Siobhan was welcoming and accommodating. Thank you for a perfect stay. We look forward to visiting again.
Fantastic facilities

We stayed at Howgills for 2 nights in the standard pod. We were met by the owner when we arrived who was friendly, helpful and welcoming. The site is dog friendly and there was a dog bowl and dog screw left outside our pod should we have needed it. We were directed to our pod, which had beautiful fairy lights on. The heating was on (great given that it was cold, wet and windy!) and it was so clean and had everything we needed. The 'shoilet' block was clean and new and had plenty of hot water. With the honesty shop and dog wash area, this is certainly a place we will visit again as a base for both the lakes and Yorkshire! Thanks so much again.
Great campsite in a peaceful location

Spent a couple of nights here in the Brown Moor pod. It was nice and clean with a comfortable bed, kitchenette, TV etc. Everything you would want in a pod. On arrival we were greeted by Siobhan, who made us feel very welcome. The free cookies were a nice gesture and very tasty. The honesty shop is a great idea and was well stocked with essentials you may have forgotten to bring, including items needed to light your firepit/BBQ. I would gladly recommend and visit again. Met some nice people and doggies too.

We have just returned from the most incredible stay at Howgills Hideaway. Siobhan and family are the most gracious hosts, the site is stunning, and you have absolutely everything you could need and more. The pods are beautiful, welcoming, and have lots of little homely touches! We felt right at home and loved sitting on the decking by the fire watching the sunset. We already cannot wait to book to visit again soon! Thank you so much for the best mini break ever.
Outstanding views, family campsite

On arrival we were greeted by a lovely woman, who was very helpful and welcoming. We stayed in the unfurnished bell tent, beautifully lit, and very spacious for a family of 5 (probably) even more. Bench outside, bbq and fire pit is a lovely touch. The honesty shop is absolutely brilliant, prices more than reasonable, plenty of range and essentials. The marshmallows and skewers were an amazing extra, along with the popcorn maker. Very family-oriented with a brilliant trampoline and a box full of toys and games all for free use. Shower block/toilets nicely finished I would definitely recommend a stay here, the views speak for themselves and the campsite has more than enough to offer to anyone.
Best stay ever!

Beautiful place, stunning scenery, great location. Toilets and showers were very clean and warm. Pod was very cosy and warm with gorgeous views and fire pit outside. Very friendly owners, dog friendly (our was running free), and great honesty shop ❤ There was a huge trampoline in the middle of the field and game box so plenty stuff to do for kids - all kids were playing together. We've chosen glamping pod because of our 8months old baby and it was best decision ever! Two double beds, radiator, two hobs and fridge... We'll definitely come back there!
Excellent

We stayed for 3 nights in the Brown Moor pod. The surroundings and location were beautiful. Really peaceful. The pod itself was lovely. Little LED lights at the back over the bed really set the cosy mood. It had a kitchenette and a bbq out front and a toilet and shower block a minutes walk so you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is also a fold out sofa bed so could sleep 4. There is also a shop on site which is handy, and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. Kendal was a half hour drive away and plenty of local walks to do. Overall we have had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Howgills Hideaway to anyone. We would definitely come back again. Thank you.
