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.
