We had a wonderful trip to Black Beck Farm for my partner's birthday. The bow top caravan is the perfect mix of a rustic retreat and cosy comfort. We had a lovely visit to the nearby White Hart Inn then spent the evening playing cards and listening to the rain fall on the tarp of the caravan. The site is absolutely idyllic and teaming with wildlife. Unfortunately, we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Ann but Neil was a perfect, attentive host and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We'll certainly be recommending Black Beck Farm to our family and friends and would love to visit again ourselves. Thank you for helping us have such a incredible time.

Absolute heaven for me and my dog. The caravan was super comfy and the log burner was a gem. All other facilities nearby were clean and perfectly functional. I definitely hope to return.

Had the most amazing time in the Bow Top Gypsy Caravan. The van was so cosy, quaint and the facilities on site were well maintained, clean and well lit. The views were stunning and the hosts were fantastic (left us wood for the stove and brought us more on request). This will be our new go to site for weekends away. Jamie &Tara

The bow top is gorgeous and in a beautiful location, it is very dark and would do better with some extra lights. We struggled with no electric (charging points). The bathroom facilities were basic and although adequate, by the evening and due to lots of rain, they were pretty dirty. Would prefer numerous cleaning times through the day, especially in bad weather.

Hi Donna. Many thanks for your feedback, we are pleased you thought our Gypsy Bow Top was gorgeous and liked the location. Our Bow Top is advertised that it's does not have electric, sorry if you thought it had. We do provided two battery powered lanterns and also lighted garlands in the accommodation, if we had known you were having issues with lighting we could have provided more, electric sockets for hair dryer use are available in the washrooms, we would have happily charged your phone for you at the farmhouse if you had only mentioned that to us. The weather this summer has not been good and the bank holiday weather was very disappointing for us all, unfortunately we can not do anything about that. In regards to the washroom's, I personally serviced the washroom facilities fully each mornings and early each evening, to try and keep our washrooms clean. Due to the weather, the floor area soon got muddy and wet, despite our best efforts. Many thanks for taking the time to leave us this review, we hope you returned home safely and with good memories of your weekend in a rather wet Lake District.

Peaceful and charming campsite surrounded by beautiful countryside. We stayed in the bowtop and used it as a base for going on walks exploring the local area. Neil who runs the farm is such a legend and even gave us a lift back to the station! Sad to leave and could’ve stayed for a week relaxing out there. Campsite also has incredible views.

I think the accommodation offers good value for money. It is set in a beautiful quiet location. The facilities are basic but that is reflected in the price. If you want a peaceful escape away from it all, this is perfect.

We spent Easter weekend in 'Roe Deer Lodge'. Lovely little welcome gift from Neil & Ann when we arrived was a nice touch. We had a fun weekend exploring the lake district, location was great 👍🏻 The lodge was an adventure and would be great in warmer months but was incredibly cold in the night, we had to go out and buy a quilt and a heater as sleeping bags were not enough. The bench seats that make the beds for the children definitely need an air mat or an air bed on them, as the mats on them are very narrow. Definitely take an electric kettle or gas camping stove, as getting the BBQ going to boil the kettle was pretty hard work, which meant a long wait for a brew. We would definitely return with our tent, the site is basic but hot (ish) showers and clean facilities. The local pub, The White Hart, was lovely, a real country pub atmosphere and the food was ok too. Highly recommend the fresh eggs from the farm house too, they were delicious.

The park was small and quiet, it was lovely. The pod itself was lovely, basic, but had what you needed. The fire/BBQ pit was great in the middle of the pod, especially for the colder nights. You will need your own bedding, towels etc and we took a little plug in electric stove and we could cook just about anything. The facilities included a shower and toilet facility along with a washing up station and these were clean and appropriate. The boiler went off one day and it was a cold shower that morning, but we didn't mind at all. The local country pub is a short 5 min walk from the site and we visited on 2 nights. A half hour drive to Coniston, Windermere etc. Ann and Neil were very helpful beforehand in answering my questions and Neil met us when we arrived. The only improvement I would suggest is that the cleaners do a more thorough dusting job, there were cobwebs and dust on the shelves. But that wouldn't put us off staying again, in fact, we are going back with the children sometime. Would recommend if you are looking for basic, cosy, quiet, a good price and lovely scenery 😊

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us this great review. We are pleased you enjoyed your weekend with us in our glamping lodge and that you found the accommodation and facilities satisfactory. We are also pleased that you enjoyed the indoor barbecue and fire pit. This can cause some dust within the lodge when in use. Spiders and flying insects can be an issue too at different times of the year, but we will note what you mentioned about the cobwebs and dust. We are delighted that you would like to return and we look forward to welcoming you back with your family. Ann and Neil

Never stayed in a shepherd's hut before, so glad I have now and what a setting to experience it in. Black Beck Farm has some stunning views out across the valley, and is only a short drive to Windermere. The facilities on site are good and was able to have a hot shower everyday. Ann and Neil, the owners, are really lovely, even put our freezer packs in their freezer overnight, which was really appreciated. Only thing I would say to anyone staying in the shepherd's hut is that they're is no electricity. There are some solar and battery powered lights but they are dim, so I would recommend you take a torch/lighting of some sorts and also make sure you are able to charge your phones. I had to find a pub to charge mine, well that's not a bad thing really is it?

So, this was the first time you stayed in a Shepherds Hut 😀 really pleased you enjoyed it and do hope it's the first of many, Glad you enjoyed the views, we do feel so very privileged to live where we do and love sharing our home with people that appreciate what we have to offer. Delighted that you found the washrooms to be satisfactory with plenty of hot water. It was our pleasure refreezing your ice packs and we would have happily recharged your mobile phone for you too. We will take on board about the dim lights and replace with brighter ones. Many thanks for your lovely review, pleased you feel you could recommend us to your family and friends. Here's hoping we can welcome you back with us again. With our very best wishes, Ann and Neil.

We enjoyed the views, the setting and village very much. The facilities were basic but adequate and clean. The lodge was outstanding and we made extensive use of the indoor bbq. All in all, we had a lovely time and we enjoyed some easy walks and a boat trip on Windermere. Best of all was the peace and quiet which helped us unwind and recharge our batteries. We would love a return visit in the future!
