We've just had the most amazing little holiday testing out our friends' new campsite, Once Upon A Fell, near Hutton Roof, Kirkby Lonsdale kind of area in south Cumbria. (Just - it's really close to the Lancashire and North Yorkshire borders, too.) When they get themselves fully open, I definitely recommend you take a look. You'll see Digit in the photos but, as a rule, it's a no dog site due to it being a farm and proximity to livestock -- but as Jon needs Digit as his assistance dog, he had an exemption. Amazing break. So exciting to do something different. Thank you so much, Daniel and Pam: all the best for a brilliant first season.

Us Mitchells have just got back from such gloriously sunny, idyllic glamping break at Once Upon a Fell . Pam and Dan have put so much work, detail and care into their site! They are so welcoming and passionate about their eco-glamping site that they have built themselves! We had the pleasure of testing out the 4.5 bell tent which is well equipped with everything you could want and super toasty with the log burner going. We started our weekend trip straight from the school pick up and onto the train, it felt like a right adventure! This was our first time out of Manchester in well over a year and I was a little apprehensive but the trains were empty and the journey was relatively short to Carnforth. Once we arrived at the campsite Pam lead the tour and then we got settled. We were on the green, the views are spectacular! We are not seasoned campers or very outdoorsy. The boys went on a little strolls and I read my book, had many brews and took in the view and just relaxed for the first time in over a year! It was bloody lovely not to even think about social distancing and just enjoy the distance! No masks, no fear, no constant hand gel either! We have all relaxed, had continuous BBQs, played lots of card games, saw our good friends, football, made smores, toasted marshmallows, petted lambs and soaked up the surroundings. I am a bit in awe of these two and everything they've accomplished with their project. We wish you every success with your venture. I will be recommending you far and wide! Good luck the Lloyds!
