Lovely stay out in the country. Hut/shower kitchen area very clean.. I am a light sleeper so could hear traffic initially but once I put earplugs in it... read more was fine and it wasn’t a busy road. Would suggest you need a car if you want to get about as there are no paths on the side of the road so not safe to walk. Just a note that you need to bring towels for showering as the literature said towels provided but it’s tea and hand towels only. Jessica was very kind though and loaned us a couple. Lovely brewery a short drive away and of course the alpacas, sheep and chickens were entertaining. It just felt very relaxing and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

We absolutely loved our stay, a gorgeous little spot for a break. The hut looked just as good as it did in the listing photos and was the perfect size... read more for the two of us and we loved using the grill to make s'mores! Highlight recommended if you need a break from the world right now! A lovely and peaceful location, we visited Wallings Ice Cream, The Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre to watch a film and to The Cartford Inn for a delicious dinner- all within a short half hour drive.

Had a lovely stay, the grill hut itself is stunning and idyllic. The little touches left by the host made it special and we fell in love with all the... read more lovely animals on site. The only downside for us was it being next to a road (which we didn't realise when booking). Although this isnt a busy main road, it becomes busier around rush hour first thing in the morning and again later on, and so we were woken up by traffic. As we live on a main road we wanted something a bit quieter in the mornings. But thank you for everything! Would recommend.

Perfect stay.
I’ve stayed in many cabins/chalets and this one ticked every box. Very well equipped and a beautiful experience overall. The indoor fire/grill made for a really unique stay... read more and Jess was super helpful throughout. The Alpacas were hilarious characters, and the food provided for them was another bonus.
Thank you!
Will be returning!

What a beautiful place to visit, I cannot recommend this stay enough! All my friends are booking.
The effort Jessica went to is unbelievable. To pumpkin carving, sweets, local beer... read more and Halloween decorations. You can tell her heart and soul goes into making the guests feel at home and welcomed.
The place is immaculate and so homely. It’s one of the best places I’ve stayed. Everything about it is perfect!

We stayed here for one night over the weekend, and it was an amazing experience. The location was easy to find, thanks to the detailed guide with directions and local... read more recommendations. When we arrived, the cabin was already warm, which was a great touch given the cold weather.
The cabin itself was even better than the pictures! The indoor grill made it extra cozy, and we loved the pizza package—baking our own pizzas in the outdoor oven was such a fun experience. Another highlight was the animals. My fiancée loves alpacas, so we were happy to see goats, sheep, and chickens too. Jessica, the owner, even gave us food to feed them, which made it even more special.
Check-out was smooth, and even though we left a little later, it wasn’t a problem. Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing stay—perfect for escaping the city. We’d love to come back!

It is hard to find fault with our stay at the grill hut. Everything from the private alpaca farm to the cosy cottage with the indoor barbecue just blew us... read more away. Put all that together with amazing hosts who would go the extra mile to make their guests happy (especially Hattie, who welcomed us and showed us around) makes this place the best we’ve ever stayed at.

We are on the doorstep to The Lake District and ideally situated for exploring the Fylde Coast and Yorkshire Dales. The Lancashire coastal way passes through Cockerham hosting great walks and cycle routes.

Our small glamping site is made up of 3 hard standing pitches and 3 glamping units. Our pitches are fully serviced and exclusively for Camping and Caravanning Club Members (yearly membership from £45 – see here for details).
We have 3 unique glamping experiences for you and your families, each unit is set within its own private area and all units have electric, heating, private toilets/showers and much more.
You might want to get back to nature in our Scandinavian style grill hut, which hosts an indoor fire pit for cooking and entertaining.
Or for a little bit more luxury book into one of our 2 pods and enjoy an outdoor hot bath looking out at the alpacas.
With a great communal playing space in our field for the children we hope you can sit back relax and enjoy switching off.
