Burns Farm Caravan, Campsite and Glamping

My wife and I stayed here last month and have just booked for a longer stay. Being from London we don’t get to see this amazing beautiful country we live in very often and when we do we like our comforts. With the VIP area a bit out of our price range we decided on a hut which is the first time (normally hotels). OMG what a place. Hot tub, BBQ, fire pit and the view was absolutely beautiful. So peaceful with the Mountain View’s. This place has simply stolen our hearts. And the smaller details such as a welcome hamper was so nice. No expense was spared on the furnishings, amazing shower/wash room, kitchen has all you need. bed was really comfortable which made it all such a lovely place to stay. The hut itself is a bit tight and only a bit of storage but I certainly wouldn’t deduct a star for it as staying in a hut you should expect it to be a little tight. Popped into the shop a few times. Staff are so friendly and helpful. All in all, if you’re looking for a place to get away from the day to day then this is the place. Romantic,peaceful,and beautiful. Thank you from Tom and Tracy x PS; special mention to Linda who has been very helpful making our second booking

We have just returned from a five night stay at Burns farm and what a great time we had even though the weather wasn't always in our favour. The site is family run and very well organised, we were sent all the information we needed in an email the day before with pitch number and codes for the toilet block etc. No issues straight into the site and on to our pitch. The site is kept very clean and tidy with stunning 360 views of the surrounding scenery which is very beautiful wether it was raining, snowing, hail stones or sun. Yes, we had the lot but it is the Lake District after all. The Rams (gents) wash room facilities we kept immaculate and consisted of 10 showers, 8 toilet cubicles and approx 5 sinks with 1 lower lever for children. It also had 2 blown air hand driers once again 1 at lower level for children, I think it was very similar in the Ewes (ladies) from what I was told by my wife. The reception and shop are open for a couple of hours twice each day and if you are need of other assistance there is a number to call. The site also has facilities for chemical toilet, dog washing and if I remember rightly boot/bike washing along with washing machines, dryers and a freezer for freezer packs. Like the sites Web page says the TV signal in that area is very poor so smart TV or satalite is recommended but we had no trouble with our phones running on GiffGaff. The route from the A66 to the site is plenty wide enough and not a problem for access into the site only about half mile once you leave the main road. I can honestly say I did not hear the road whilst we were there. A short walk down the lane is access to the Skelkeld to Keswick trail which follows the old rail track route. It is very well maintained and once on it would be excellent for pushchairs and youngsters on bikes etc. It is about 3 miles into Keswick using the track and takes about an hour to walk into town. We enjoyed our visits into wetherspoons. All in all we had a very peacefull relaxed break on Burns farm, the staff were helpfull and friendly, the facilities were excellent and would recommend the site without hesitation not forgetting that they have some gorgeous Highland cattle on the farm. The only problem for us is that it is a bit too far for us to travel for a weekend but we will definitely be visiting again when we have more than a weekend away in the caravan.

Absolutely stunning campsite with great views of the mountains all around. The facilities were immaculate and the shop was nicely stocked. There was highland cows on site that you are allowed to feed and i absolutely loved it. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely stay again!!

Myself and partner have just spent the weekend at Burns farm staying in the Mountain View hut “Roan Tree”. This hut was perfectly modern and easy to use and we both agree this was our favourite so far glamping getaway. The staff were very helpful at Burns farm, equipping the pod with birthday balloons making our weekend away extra special. The hut was amazingly equipped with everything listed and also came with some lovely extras such as a greeting basket of food, prosecco on ice and fresh milk and orange juice. Our stay at Burns farm was perfect and the location just takes it that one step further. Highly recommend!
