We stayed in Holly which is the pod at the very top of the field. It's the most secluded and private and has fabulous views over open fields from the French doors. On our checkout day, we were treated to brief introductions to 1 day old lambs and a 1 week old calf that had all been born on the farm. The farm is a fully working farm with eggs for sale and two extremely well behaved and friendly sheep dogs. The chickens are free range and we often saw them wandering around our patio. The pod itself is well appointed with an electric shower as well as microwave, induction hob, kettle and toaster. We brought our own pans (I'm a fussy chef) and did stir fries, pasta and fajitas without any issues. The hot tub on the patio was amazing and after a long day walking locally or further afield, it was fabulous to be able to soak and chill out for a while. The location of the farm is perfect - you're in the Lakes but not in the "manically busy with tons of people" Lakes. It really easy to get to places with Windermere c30mins away and Keswick about 45mins further on from there. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back without a second thought.

So relaxing cosy and welcoming. The lady who runs it was very lovely and her pets that roamed the farm were just as great ! Everything about is exceeded my expectations. The shower was not the best and was up and down but other than that a 10/10 from me.

We came with our son and the lovely owners provided us with extra bedding for him which was amazing. Our hot tub was cleaned every day and was a perfect end to our day, the temperature was so warm and the peaceful surroundings meant that you could just chill without the feeling of people overlooking. Holly pod was in a perfect area and close enough to get to places like Windermere, Ambleside, Hawkshead, Old Man Coniston. We also ventured to see Beatrix Potter's cottage all of which were around 30min drive. We would definitely recommend staying at Low Fan Farm. Thank you for our wonderful stay we thoroughly enjoyed it.
