Amazing Views
Shoulthwaite Farm
We stayed here at the beginning of May. The site was easy to find and the pitch we used was level. The views were beautiful and Keswick was a shortdrive away.
A real gem. We hope to return.
brilliant
Shoulthwaite Farm
Spent 12 nights here. It is a beautiful site with fantastic views. the pitches are a little uneven but we got set up quite easily. We made the mistake of going on one of the raised pitches which meant lugging full water barrel up the hill. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you
Beautiful location close to Keswick
Shoulthwaite Farm
Not far from A591 but no traffic noise. Beautiful surroundings and lovely walks from site. The CL is on a rustic farm but has some hardstandings and electric. Friendly old farmer. Great place to experience the Lake District.
Laid back approach
Shoulthwaite Farm
This is our third time here for one or two nights each time. This is our go to site in the lakes. Down to earth farmers run the site. It is rough and ready, but that is part of the charm. Yes, there were 7 units on site this time, but we were thankful to be accommodated. There was no overcrowding. We have been on other sites with 5 units which were much more crowded. Stunning views all round and easy access to Keswick and south to Grasmere etc
Beautiful views and friendly welcome
Shoulthwaite Farm
We just spent 9 nights here and loved every minute. The views are beautiful, the stream running alongside is the only noise and it's fairly easy to get to Keswick and also Grasmere & Ambleside. Walks from the site or a short drive, and the fells all around you. Bus stop at the end of the drive.
The site is grassy but hardstanding pitches which was helpful in the wet and the owners were really welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. Definitely one to return to.
