View on Google MapsPhoto: Harebeck Holidays.
Harebeck Cottage works well for families or small groups wanting a proper farmstay experience. Set on an active dairy farm in western Cumberland, the cottage sits close to Gosforth village and within reach of Seascale beach. The coast is less than three miles away; from here you can also access the Lake District fells, including Scafell Pike and Wast Water.
The ground floor has an open-plan living and dining space with an Aga and wood burner, plus a separate kitchen with electric oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. Upstairs, a steep staircase leads to two bedrooms: one with a double bed that can be closed off, and a second with a double and a bunk. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and roll-top bath. The essentials are included—electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi—plus initial fuel for the wood burner. Private parking for two cars is on site. One well-behaved pet stays free. The cottage is not suitable for people with limited mobility due to the steep stairs. No smoking throughout.

What guests say
This place truly deserves all the custom it can get! Such a gorgeous little spot to stay. Catherine, the host, was absolutely lovely – she explained everything we needed to know and even shared the exact what3words location, which made finding it so easy. She was also really helpful in giving us directions to a local pub, which was a great touch. Her farm is stunning, with the most amazing views, and the facilities had everything you could possibly need. The toilets and showers were spotless and well looked after, which made the stay even more comfortable. There was also a small play area for children, which is such a thoughtful addition for families. I loved the little shed on site too, where she sold extras like marshmallows for the fire pit and homemade jam. And the cutest cats wandering around the farm just made it feel even more homely and welcoming. Thank you so much for letting us stay – it was perfect! x

Such a friendly, welcoming and lovely holiday park, it is very quiet and remote, we stayed for 1 week and saw families and couples pass through and there was never any disturbance, everyone was happy and kept to themselves and comfortable. The owners of the site were all so kind, always there whatever you needed, up for a chat and keeping the place clean and tidy. The communal shower and toilets were always clean and available to use at any time. The park is dog and family friendly too. Fantastic location with surrounding outdoor wonders such as scaffel pike, Stanley ghyll waterfalls and wast water circular walk as well as the beach! We would definitely return!

Easy to get to, and away from the main road so it's nice and quiet. The cottage faces the fells and treats you to some lovely colourful views come sunset! Cathryn puts in a lot of effort to make sure her guests feel welcome and it really shows. Looking forward to visiting again!

We loved our stay here. We had a pitch for our camper van and stayed for 2 nights. The toilet/shower facilities are very clean and well thought out,there were even fresh hand towels each day. The owner was so friendly and welcoming and it's in a great location for hiking.
