Howgills Hideaway

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 ensuite 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.

About Howgills Hideaway

This is a charming farm that has been in the hands of the Stainton family for three generations, set in an idyllic part of the country. At the farm, you'll have the 350 sheep, young livestock being reared and free range hens for your friendly neighbours! Why not taste the farm's fresh eggs or say hello to the four legged residents. If you fancy glamping, there are three enticing pods here that are sure to tempt you. All pods include their own private kitchen, with an electric hob, microwave, fridge and toaster so that you can rustle up something tasty. Comfortable and beautifully furnished, they offer warmth, dryness and a touch of glam in these lovely surroundings. All the pods have their own decking and patio with outdoor seating and combined firepit and BBQ. If you fancy pampering yourself in the morning you can order a breakfast basket (for an extra charge) and it will be delivered to your pod. Alternatively, choose the furnished bell tent raised on its own decking with space for a family of 5. It sits in a secluded spot next to the beck it has its own outdoor camp kitchen, picnic table, firepit and BBQ. If you have all the camping gear but don't want the faff of putting up the tent, then the unfurnished bell tent is ideal for you. A 5m bell tent with porch, all ready and set up for you. Travelling with a larger group or friends or family? You'll love a static caravan with all the amenities you need inside.

The glamping pods are available from January to November. Bell tents are open from May to September.

Camping Pod - Glamping PodsJul 2024

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.

Camping Pod - Glamping PodsApr 2024

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.

Amazing

Camping Pod - Glamping PodsMar 2024

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!
