The Top Meadow Featured

About this listing

Stay in your own private field with the fell on one side and stunning views of Ingleborough, the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District fells on the other. There is a quiet bridleway on the other side of one of the walls so expect the odd walker/ mountain biker going past, but otherwise it’s yours and yours alone for the duration of your stay!

For 2024 The Top Meadow will offer one brand new fully-furnished 5m bell tent and last year’s 5m bell tent which will be empty – to be used as an all-weather hang out, or to sleep in if you bring your own mats and bedding. The bell tents are situated on well-draining limestone and the field feels private and very much off-grid.

• Versatile space which can be used for camping only, glamping only, or a mixture of both
• Camping only from £70 per night for up to 5 people, including use of a 5m empty bell tent (with fully zipped-in floor)
• Glamping only from £100 per night for up to 4 people, including use of the furnished bell tent and the empty bell tent
• Furnished bell tent sleeps up to 4
• Option to bring your own tents and hire this field like The Bull Copy, just as a private camping field – please contact us for more information
• Double bed with 1000 pocket sprung mattress
• Small double Habitat chair bed

• Fire pit/ BBQ
• Gas cooking facilities
• Private toilet and shower
• Outdoor seating and hammock
• £70 per night for up to 5 people camping only (including use of the empty bell tent but not including use of the furnished bell tent)

• One Greener Camping Club membership required per booking (or £12 annual membership fee if there are no current members in your group)
• We allow dogs from May to September, but please note that The Top Meadow is not fully fenced so dogs need to be tethered or on a lead at all times due to the close proximity of livestock.

• Eco-responsible/ biodegradable products provided by Eco Homes Supplies – please use our products if possible as we are an off-grid site and there is no mains drainage so we have to be extremely careful what we use in order to minimise any potential environmental impact.
• The farm sells milk, cheese and eggs but other than that, the nearest shop is in Burton-in-Kendal which is 3 miles away – so come prepared with food. There are no takeaways or delivery services nearby.
