We are Pam and Dan Lloyd. Along with our two children and menagerie of animals, we are very proud to introduce you to our eco-responsible glamping and camping site in Cumbria: adjacent to Farleton Knott SSSI and Hutton Roof Crags SSSI. With private pitches aimed at very small groups and families, our site offers true off-grid escapism.
Being outdoor enthusiasts who love making the most of all that our natural surroundings have to offer, we hope to share with you our passion for this beautiful part of the world.
Busy running Eco Home Supplies, our eco-responsible household supplies venture, and Woodstock Recruitment where we work with forward-thinking innovators in chemistry, we had the opportunity to support the diversification of Whin Yeats Farm: a dairy and hill sheep farm which has been in the Burrow family since the 1940s.
With our love of camping, the fells and most importantly – peace and quiet, ‘Once Upon a Fell’ was born – offering small scale, quiet, eco-responsible glamping and camping in the South Lakeland region of Cumbria. What’s more, we wanted to offer our customers their very own private space in which to enjoy the quiet surroundings, allowing you to really relax and take it all in with a backdrop of beautiful views from the edge of the fell.
Our sites are designed with privacy in mind and our booking policy discourages large groups. We offer a bespoke camping experience based on an appreciation of the natural surroundings and a desire to create unforgettable holidays.
The surrounding fells are well known for walking, hiking, climbing and mountain biking enthusiasts, nestled between the Lake District National Park, The Yorkshire Dales and Silverdale & Arnside AONB, our site has the benefit of numerous places to explore, whilst avoiding the crowds that the Lake District attracts.
Whin Yeats Farm
Once Upon a Fell is one of three unique holiday stay offerings on our family farm in Cumbria: we are three sisters, all with our own visions for creating off-grid, relaxing spaces for guests to enjoy. We work together, cover each other’s holidays, share ideas – you may well see all three of us at some point during your stay!
Big sister Adele runs Kelker Well Roundhouse: with stunning views, your own private space and a wood-fired hot tub, the roundhouse aims to give guests a unique and sustainable glamping experience that rests, relaxes and inspires.
Falling milk prices in late 2014 prompted them to look at ways to ensure the future sustainability of their dairy herd and cheese making emerged as a way of adding value to the great milk that they are proud to produce.
The cheese is made in their new dairy, right next to the milking parlour on the farm so the milk is piped straight into the dairy from the cows – natural, creamy and a very low carbon footprint!
