Stybeck Farm

Gostou: Very nice hosts. Direct access to walks (although strenuous ascent to Sticks Pass). Beautiful surroundings.
The services are basic and the shower costs 1£ extra, but was worth it.
Farm eggs and homemade marmelade for sale.
30 metres from a hotel with a café.
Expect a working farm: noises and smell of animals, dogs and chicken running around, people starting work very early in the morning.

Não gostou: The road from Kelswick to Ambleside is about 200 metres away, there will be car noise.
Book direct, it's cheeper.

Gostou: Loved the peace and quiet without the loud groups/ball games etc that you find on some of the bigger sites. The hosts were very friendly and although the facilities were basic they were clean and perfectly adequate for a small site.

Gostou: Small, welcoming farm site with well spaced pitches for camper vans/motorhomes.
Very clean facilities

Não gostou: In late April no sun in the early morning. It slowly creeps across the valley to the site.

Gostou: Really good layout for the campers all with EHU points, I managed to get one next to a bench which was handy. The pitch was nice and flat too. The best location for exploring the high fells on the Helvellyn massif as the track up to Sticks Pass is directly at the side of the farm. The hosts are extremely friendly, plenty of animals around as Stybeck is a busy working farm and loved seeing all the new lambs and chicks. Facilities include toilets and showers

Não gostou: Nothing. It was exactly what I wanted in the location I wanted, I will be returning!

Gostou: Loved Stybeck Farm. If you enjoy a simple campervan experience then book. An amazingly busy working farm (we visited during lambing season), but the owners still find time to be so helpful and up for a chat.
The views are 10/10, you are right in the middle of the Lakes, we walked from the van straight up to the hills and did a big loop finishing with a climb up Helvellyn - wow.
Decent shower and loo facilities.
You can sit and watch the busy farm, especially the cheeky donkey, buy fresh eggs for breakfast.
We did 2 nights up in the top yard and a third night down along the fence right next to the fields - both spots had amazing views - we will definitely be back.

Gostou: We had a lovley stay in the cabin. Its so cosy with the log fire and set in such a lovley location. It's perfect for getting away from the busy life. The owner was excellent, and could never do too much for us. Its a very basic cabin, however that's exactly what we wanted. The location is slap bang in the middle of the lakes making it the perfect base exploring both the southern and northern lakes without too much of a drive. While this is a fully operational farm, this didn't affect our stay. It was lovley seeing the animals, and quite eye opening to how busy the life of a farmer can be. I'll more than likely return.

Gostou: Beautiful location and welcoming host. All you need for this type of site. We did undertake a hike which we didn't plan for from Stybeck. Just loved it and will be going back if any vacancies on our return trip South. Easy to find and easy access to some fabulous locations.
Highly recommended.

Não gostou: Nothing to dislike.
