Non electric field / showers and toilets

Family-friendly, family-run site on a working farm in Cumbria
Less than five minutes’ drive from Lake District National Park
Top spot for walking, cycling and watersports

Fresh air, wind in your hair and the sounds of nature… Rural holiday dreams, right? Get a good dose of all the above at Shepherds Views Holidays, a small, family-run site on a working farm a few minutes’ drive from the village of Holmrook in Cumbria, North West England. Shepherds Views, less than five minutes from the edge of the Lake District National Park, is a top spot for an outdoor getaway. There are hundreds of walking routes throughout the park for all levels of difficulty – keep your eyes peeled for otters, deer, eagles and the elusive red squirrel as you go. If you’re more comfortable on two wheels than two legs, hire a bike on site and head off on one of the many cycle and mountain biking trails that crisscross the park, or follow Hadrian’s cycleway, which passes the Shepherds View entrance. You can also take to the water an hour away with boat hire, steamer and launch trips, and rafting and canoeing, or venture out of the Lake District National Park and head over to the coast, less than five minutes away, for swimming or exploring the beaches. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, make your way back to site where you can fire up the barbecue, pile it high with all your faves, then chow down with Rex stretched out next to you beside the campfire – if you’d prefer a break from cooking, there are plenty of restaurants within half an hour of Shepherds View.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Friendly, helpful owners. Alpacas, donkey and horse, nice big pitches, clean and tidy toilets and showers

Disliked: Noisy kids, fire pits no need! unisex toilets and showers, no grey water empty site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review

Our site is family friendly so kids playing is expected, all our showers and toilets are unisex this is stated before booking, If you had asked me regarding grey water i would have been able to assist you in emptying this, before booking it states that our pitches have fire pits on, I would personally suggest reading more about the site before booking if you are looking for an adults only site without fire pits.

Kind regards,
Rachael

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked: Warm unisex toilet/shower block. Reception sold some bits and bobs like washing up liquid and wood which was really useful. Nice clean site with good sized pitches and hard standing for cars and the staff were really friendly.

Disliked: The toilets would often run out of toilet paper, I think this is likely just because it was a bank holiday so extra busy and they were topped up daily.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review,
I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay
Regarding the toilet roll, it is topped up several times a day, sometimes i am unable to get into toilets as they in use

We look forward to welcoming you back in the future

Kind regards, Rachael

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite, nice quiet location, site warden very knowledgeable of the area and helpful.
Good basic facilities.
Great beach at Seascale which is very close by.
I think the negative reviews are more of a reflection on the reviewer than the site themselves.
We would 100% return

Disliked: WiFi was a bit hit and miss but not overly important

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely place to stay. We stayed in our small campervan with an awning. Simple facilities, cleaned regularly and a quiet site.
My little boy loved seeing the cows in the morning when going to the toilet and petting the donkey at the entrance. The fridge freezer to use was very useful to keep our food fresh and refreeze out freezer blocks.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Nice quiet site

Disliked: Could do with more facilities as they are unisex I didn’t think there were enough for the size of the site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review,
We do have two large shower blocks, as we didn't have many people on site at the time of your visit only one was open.
In Busy periods both shower blocks are fully open and in full use

We hope to welcome you back again soon

Kind regards, Rachael

Local attractions

Clamber aboard the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (10 minutes’ drive from Shepherds Views Holidays) for a trip through the Lake District under someone else’s steam, then venture to Horse and Husky for horse riding and dog sledding. Making your way to Wast Water lake, 25 minutes from site, is a must too, even if you just stop and soak up the absolutely stunning views – you’ll feel your stress melt away. Active sorts will want to swim on over to West Lakes Adventure, 25 minutes from the site, where they can try canyoning, canoeing, rock climbing, archery, abseiling, raft building, mountain biking and paddleboarding. For a feel of what it must have been like to live that Upstairs Downstairs, Downton Abbey type of life, take a trot around the gardens at the spectacular Muncaster Castle, 10 minutes from Shepherds Views, or trip along to the stately home of Wordsworth House (the childhood home of poet William Wordsworth) where you can poke around the rooms, root around in the gardens and let the kids go wild. Kids still chafing at the bit? Get in the car for an excursion to Jump Mania trampoline park, Lake District Coast Aquarium or Lake District Wildlife Park, all within an hour of site.
