We spent 4 days here and had an amazing time! No electric (although it is available if you need to charge phone or dry hair etc) and no mobile phone service so meant complete relaxation. The farmer and his family are very welcoming and very helpful without encroaching on your space - home made bread delivered warm to the tent... More

Wonderful from start to finish despite the cold easter weather. Went with my husband and 2 children, aged 11 & 9 years, for a 3 might weekend break. Welcomed by John, the farmer, and immediately made to feel at home, then shown to our tent by his daughter Jo who explained where everything was and how it worked. Tent was... More

Made to feel very welcome, owners very friendly and helpful. Location was ideal for us with a young child, she loved the animals on site that she could pet. Nice village with local pub serving home cooked food nearby. Family room was spacious with sofa and tv in room and plenty of room for a cot and toys!! High chair... More

Myself, husband and two 14 year old boys have just returned from a wet & muddy 3 night break at Howbeck Lodge. I can't believe I actually enjoyed Glamping here more than laying in the sunshine on lounger all day. We had the best summer holiday I think we've ever had as a family. The only person missing was my... More

Just got back from such a wonderful 3 night stay in the b&b with our 2 girls 7+3, we cannot fault anything, lovely kind genuine hospitality from Christine, beautiful clean home with such comfy beds, a gorgeous breakfast using their own farm produce. The girls loved the whole staying on farm experience, making friends with the animals and other children... More

Can only add to the already fabulous reviews this property has receievd. One of the best holidays we have had in years! It's amazing how quickly you get used to the slow pace of waiting for the stove to heat your water, cook your eggs etc. No electricity so no DS, iPad, phones, TV etc. and what did the kids... More

We recently stayed in one of the tents at Howbeck Lodge. Having always been diehard "pitch tent" campers we were unsure what to expect from the well marketed "Glamping" from Featherdown. We were not disappointed. Our 2 boys aged 6 and 4 had the most wonderful time. The whole environment, set-up and experience was fantastic. The tents are just great,... More

We have just come back from our second stay in the tents at Howbeck Lodge. We had initially read the Featherdown brochure with suspicion, could the tents really be as nice as they looked?? They are EXACTLY as they appear in the brochure but better as the farm and location are so idyllic and peaceful. Our two children, aged 4... More

We've recently come back from a 5-day stay at Howbeck Lodge. The tent was absolutely amazing, spacious and comfortable, we couldn't have asked for more accommodation-wise. Our 3-year old loved the whole experience, using candles, the cool chest, etc. She absolutely loved all the animals in the farm, being able to feed them, get close to them, and the cherry... More
