Holly

We have visited Low Flan Farm multiple times and it's always amazing.

The beds are comfy, there are plenty of pillows, the hot tub is relaxing and the pods are cosy. There were some really thoughtful additions this year. The hosts are warm and friends and our dog loved playing with their beautiful dogs. We will definitely be back.

We had a four night stay in Holly, Great location just a mile from Ulverston town, Very modern pod with fantastic views, Well laid out site, lovely hot tub, It was good value for money and would definitely recommend, credit to the owners.

Thank you.

Lovely location and pod, very close to Ulverston so it was perfect for evening meals.

Could not fault the pod, would stay again.

Everything was brilliant and straight forward really enjoyed the stay there.

The only slight niggle is the electric shower was a little temperamental with its temperature but it was no major issue at all.

10/10 no faults.

I would 100% stay in Holly again.

Beautiful , it was clean, and quite just wot u need after a buzy week .

Beautiful green views every way u turned . Hot tub lovely and clean . Highly recommend.. local pubs but not really a lot to do apart from just chill out so ideal

Great location, excellent facilities, no problems with our stay whatsoever and would recommend it to anyone.

Really happy with the stay at holly (pod) first time we’ve ever stayed in a cabin type place .

It’s was a lovely experience we were out the way of other guests the place was all we wanted . The hot tub was amazing . I’m not sure if we got lucky or if the owners went above and beyond with our bedding etc as it had peacocks all over the bedding which is our family name . Nice touch …. I’d definitely return . Thank you highly recommended. Oh and the small towns around the area were great also .

Lovely well equipped very clean and peaceful place.

Hottub very welcome. Short walk into Ulverston via public footpath. Very dog friendly. Relaxingx

We stayed in one of your pods and I can honestly say amazing clean tidying and the views are phenomenal.

And Lulu our dog enjoyed her trip too. Keep up the fantastic job that you are doing and I’m sure we will be back soon xx

This was our second stay and will.

not be our last!. Brilliant place perfectly manged.

Absolutely brilliant stay,spotlessly clean & very welcoming.

deffo would go back.

We stayed in Holly, one of six pods on this working farm for a 4 night stay.

I can honestly say everything was perfect. The owners are very friendly despite being busy with their farm work, and took the time to say hello whenever they could. All the pods look out onto the surrounding countryside with a hot tub that made the stay even more special. You are also able to see and interact with the farm animals (and their friendly dogs), again a positive addition to this location. The pods are perfectly sized for couples but can accommodate up to 4 with a sofa bed. This was our first stay in the lakes but will return here without a hesitation.

Scenery from the pod and hot tub is lovely, the pod is also extremely clean and has all you could need in there, even down to the small details such as salt and pepper which we loved.

I must mention the mattress as it was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on, also the shower temperature went cold very quickly so you'd have no chance of washing your hair just a quick dip (not sure if all glamping pods have the same issue.) Privacy was an issue for us and we looked to have the most 'private' pod which is Holly pod. From our pod you could see all the other pods hot tubs. I also didn't really like the fact the owners dogs were free roam - they hung around the pods in the day time and even entered our pod at one point. I imagine anyone who brought a dog who is reactive with other dogs, would have issues. We are huge animal lovers but we booked this stay for some relaxation and privacy. Lastly I felt the owner was quite intrusive at the beginning of our stay. On our first morning waking up we were met by her picking up dog poo near our pod (her dogs poo may I add) she then added it to our rubbish bag of food and asked us to take it down to the bin!! Later that day she was hanging around next doors pod with the pod resident and was sat watching us in and out the hot tub which made us feel really uncomfortable as you can imagine. After the first day we didn't seem to get bothered by her and if we did see her passing she'd smile so it's a shame that this happened on the first day. Lovely place with huge potential but for the above reasons wouldn't book again.

We had an absolutely incredible few days away here.

Everything was beautiful, from the pod to the view. It was super clean and the dogs that work on the farm were really friendly and came to say hi every day. We are definitely coming back to stay in the future!

Loved our stay at Low Flan Farm Holly Pod Everything you need for a short break.

Beautiful views all around. Hot tub always a plus and dog friendly. Great couple of days away owners very friendly and informative. Very close to Ulverston town. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family

We recently for 4 nights, the location and Farm is stunning and the owners are really friendly and helpful.

The accommodation itself is really nicely finished and very clean, the hot tub was also excellent and maintained daily by the owners... it was really lovely to relax in the hot tub on an evening and look at the beautiful views and stars at night!! The kitchen area is also well equipped with what you may need to prepare and eat food/drinks. Overall the whole stay was wonderful, but we both did find the bed to be quite uncomfortable, perhaps a mattress topper would make it more comfortable as we could both feel the springs and this caused us not to have the best nights sleep during our stay, also more than two pillows on the double bed would be fabulous. Perhaps a user error but we found that the shower would change temperature from hot to completely cold on its own without changing the temperature and when we did try to change it there seem to be a significant delay resulting in as standing in the shower waiting for the freezing cold water to stop. Our dog was very happy during the stay as was able to freely roam on the farm and play with other dogs... just be mindful that there are baby chick's on site when driving and allowing dogs loose.

This was our second stay at the farm and again we throughly enjoyed ourselves.

Relaxing and peaceful watching the sun set from the hot tub. The owners are amazing nothing is too much trouble...... thank you see you again next year xxx 5 stars

We love our stay and look forward to booking again.

The view was amazing, the cabin was very cozy. The staff were very friendly and it was great that it was dog friendly too. Our only issue with our stay was that the hot water in the shower didn't last very long, it was ok for me as I a man with short hair but it wasn't enough for my girlfriend to wash her hair.

Amazing place and a must visit.

So happy we went and the local town has some amazing restaurants there too. Betullas italian was lovey as was the Honeysuckle for the best breakfast ever. Very dog friendly. The farm is tranquil and so welcoming coniston water is beautiful some great walks and to cap it off a dozen fresh eggs to take home . Thanks for sharing your lovely place with us was a pleasure see u again for sure

Absolutely fabulous can't wait to come back the farmers are so friendly and cheerful.

The pods have everything you need and are very clean ! Friendly little dog Meg was wonderful..so so peaceful beautiful views and very calming most definitely will be back thank you

Great stay, lovely and quiet, super easy to find.

Fab location, first time in a shepherds hut and won't be the last.

Excellent accommodation in fantastic location.

This was our 3rd visit but definitely won't be the last. Thoroughly enjoyable holiday with wonderful hosts Carol and Ian. Definitely 5 stars.

Loved the location very scenic the cabins where good and functional nice hot tub outside and the landlady very friendly and helpful really enjoyed the stay will definitely come again just a couple of suggestions more info in the cabin about takeaways local attractions and such like tea making kit would be nice as my wife forgot the coffee but all in all very good nice place would recommend it !

We've had an amazing weekend here at Low Flan Farm.

Very relaxing, the surrounding scenery is breathtaking. The pod was comfortable and perfect for our 3 night stay. Ian and Carol the hosts were lovely and very accommodating and friendly. Ulverston is very pretty, lovely walks and a cute quirky market town with everything you need and more. We would love to return to Low Flan Farm.

Such a lovely spot in Lake District.

We enjoyed our Easter break in Holly pod. So relaxing and quiet. Great location and not far from main hiking trails in the Lake District. We hiked on every day and enjoyed soaking in the hot tub in the afternoon or evening. The pod was very clean and you have everything you need for your short breaks. We would love to come back and spend another short break in Holly again!

We had a fantastic stay at Low Flan Farm from 2nd-7th March 2024.

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.

The pods are nestled a stones throw away from Ulverston town centre.

They are everything you can see on the pictures and more, we were surprised at how spacious they really were. Once the sun goes down and darkness descends on the farm, you look up and see a magical array of stars glistening in the nights sky. It’s absolutely magical. Our host was lovely and we felt that she was so approachable. We even bought half a dozen eggs for £1.50 off her as the chickens are free range around the farm and may even visit you in the morning if you’re lucky. You will find the pods are really cosy and after a relaxing evening in the hot tub the bed is just as exciting to jump in! We both had the best nights sleep while here and will 1000% return to Low Flan Farm as it is an absolute gem. Thank you for a lovely weekend and we can’t wait to return!

We all had a wonderful time staying in the Holly pod, everywhere was really clean on arrival and it was a perfect base to relax after a full day of walking.

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.

What an amazing place !

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.

This was such a lovely place to stay, relax and explore the area if you wanted to.

The pod was cosy and the hot tub amazing, just what is needed after visiting the lakes, relaxing and overlooking such beautiful countryside. The hosts was lovely and welcoming and were available at any time should we need them. We will definitely be returning, we enjoyed our break so so much!

What a place!

Me and my partner stayed here the week before Christmas and had such an amazing time! We were already familiar with the family who run these pods and couldn’t wait to come back after staying here in June and it did not disappoint , we knew it wouldn’t that’s why we re booked , carol and Ian are such lovely genuine people and we had the warmest welcome back , introduced to the newest members of the farm and reacquainted us With the rest of the animals we met back in June These pods were one of the best places we could of spent our Christmas , the pods even had Christmas lights which made it feel so much more festive. Although it wasn’t sunshine the weather didn’t stop us doing so many activities that are only in walking distance from the farm. For example the Hoad monument , Cumbria way and also the village is only a stones throw away which is Amazing ! The cleanliness was 10/10 and they paid so much attention to details such as towels being folded a certain way , you can tell they really want the best for their customers We cannot wait to go back again in summer , such a beautiful clamping site with prices that cannot be matched

We stayed here for 2 nights over the weekend and although we were hit with snow, we had a great time!

Ian and Carol were more than accommodating and helped us get out of the farm and checked up on us to make sure we had everything we need. We will definitely be staying again!

We had an absolutely lovely stay in Holly.

It was immaculate and so cosy. We made the most of the amazing hot tub and went in it as much as we could. The area is fantastic and food was lovely in the town of Ulverston which was a very short walk from the farm. Carol the owner was so friendly and welcoming and even gave us some bread so we could feed the chickens which were roaming free living their best lives! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

My partner and I had a lovely holiday!

The pod was clean and fully equipped, the site was well kept. Views were incredible. We would definitely stay again. Only downside was the shower was difficult to keep at a good temperature (it would go really hot or really cold). There were no instructions on how to use the heater, where to dispose of rubbish or what to do upon leaving - I would have thought there would be a guide within the pod with this information.

Stayed at the Holly Lodge with my son (9yrs) and dog for 3 nights, on arrival we were greated by the owner who was really friendly and helpful on checking into the lodge, advising on local walks and places to eat.

Our dog was really happy to also have made new friends as the dogs on the farm were very friendly and happy to play. The accommodation was immaculate with everything you needed to make your stay comfortable, before I finished speaking with the owner my son had already unpacked as he was keen to use the hard standing hot tub, which was ready to use immediately...the views across the farm were stunning with fields of different animals including sheep, cows and horse. The lodge itself has a kitchen area and bathroom with electric shower and everything was pristine and the decor modern and clean, lots of small touches included. Thankyou to the owners for outer wonderful stay, we will definetely return soon!

We have just stayed for 3 nights in the Holly retreat pod for our wedding anniversary and we really enjoyed our stay.

It was exactly what we wanted. The location was perfect. You're located on a farm with surrounding farmer's field's but your only a few minutes away from ulverston town, 30 minutes from Coniston lake which is definitely worth a visit and also only 50 minutes from lake windermere. The hot tub was amazing with tranquil views. We loved staying at the farm seeing all the animals, sitting in the hot tub with nothing but the sounds of the animals on the hills. Me and my hubby was so relaxed our whole stay, we've not been this relaxed in a very long time, it was just what we needed. We could of stayed for longer. We highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be returning next year.

What a beautiful relaxing place to stay, the owners are very friendly.

Every morning they came to test the hot tub and stay and have a chat, nothing was to much trouble for them. The first night we arrived they offered to pick us up food from the Chinese, which was very thoughtful of them after 6 hour drive. The pods are very well thought out,there is everything you need to make your stay pleasant. The hot tub is brilliant and relaxing.

Fantastic weekend break so clean and fresh.

Hosts were amazing the area is so peaceful and beautiful. Everything you need is in the pod including extra big towels for after the amazing hot tub ( cleanest i have ever seen very very well maintained) We will definitely be coming again. Thank you Carol and Ian x

We both couldn't be any happier with our stay, the facilities and the owners, bother were super friendly and even showed us around the animals on the farm, hot tub was spot on, whole stay was 11/10, will definitely be coming back :)

While the facilities are state-of-the-art and situated in an idyllic, secluded location, our stay felt anything but secluded.

Due, no doubt to the newness of the accommodation and inexperience of the owners, we very much felt “under surveillance” at all times. We were told on arrival that the hot tub would be checked daily. We were not told a specific time however, and due to the proximity of the hot tub to the pod door our privacy was compromised several times leading to the owners seeing myself in my underwear. One of them would just appear without even a knock and at different times throughout our stay - ranged from 10am- 1:30pm - so we couldn’t even try to preempt it! Additionally, we were rudely woken up by the owner banging on our door as they noticed another car parked outside the pod. (Our car broke down while we were staying so we had to hire one to drive around the lakes during our stay). We were told, loudly, that the pod only sleeps 2 despite it saying 4 on the website and having a sofa bed. After a bleary-eyed explanation of this (we were asleep when the owner approached the pod to confront us about this) the owner backed down and later she apologised for the mixup. However a simple question first such as “just wondering why there’s now an extra car here?” would have been much politer! Another day during our stay, I accidentally broke a butterfly patterned plate. So, as you do, I cleaned it up and put it in the bin, and when the bin bag was full I took it down to the main bin on site. The owner then made another trip up to our pod the next day (Holly is the furthest pod from the site entrance) to say that they’d found a broken plate in the bin bag and that we needed to pay £10 to replace it. Felt intrusive to say the least that they had gone through our bin bag and found it! So all in all, it is a delightful setting and the accommodation being brand new gave it a nice clean modern feeling. However none of that matters if the relaxation of a hot tub and a room with a view is taken away by the feeling that you’re being watched at all times. However I’m not just here to criticise, I also have suggestions for how it can be improved: - Does the hot tub have to be cleaned daily? Could you not just have set days of the week to clean it? If it has to be daily, could you even allot an hour to give guests warning of when you’re coming (eg “We’ll be cleaning the hot tubs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 11am and 12pm”) - Bulk buy white plates for all pods rather than individual sets for each one. With pets, children and even clumsy adults like myself, accidents happen! Easier and cheaper to replace a white plate than a patterned one. - Let the guests enjoy the accommodation how they see fit (within reason of course!) Any illicit or illegal activity then by all means hammer that door down but an extra car on the drive? A broken plate? Just a polite question in passing seems much more appropriate and customer-friendly. - Advertise on accommodation listing that pets aren’t allowed to be left unattended in the pod. This was only made clear to us in the arrival instructions email received after we had already paid, and forced us to change the plans for our outings during our stay.

Our second visit to Holly and once again had a wonderful week , we are just in the process of booking again .

Everything about our stay was first class . Beautiful scenery, wonderful hosts with Ian and Carol , spotlessly clean pod. We would have no doubt about returning and would recommend to anyone who would like a stress free, relaxing holiday. Can't wait to return .

From arrival to departure, we had the most amazing stay.

We stayed in Holly & really didn't want to come home. The pod has absolutely everything you need & even when it rained, it was so warm & cosy. It was really peaceful with fantastic views especially from the hot tub which was incredible and much needed after a trek up the old man of coniston and it was lovely being on a working farm. Lastly but most importantly, Carol,the owner, is fantastic. She is so warm and friendly and works so hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible, she even topped our drinks up for us so we didn't have to get out of the hot tub! Thanks Carol, we can't wait to come back

This property was fantastic it had everything you needed and was extremely clean, beautiful views and the hot tub was great couldn't fault the place, cosy quiet little retreat great for unwinding after a busy day visiting the lakes, I would highly recommend a stay here.

Oh where to start!

We could not recommend enough times! Upon arriving we were greeted with a lovely warm welcome from carol who is joint owner with ian who was currently away in France at the time. We were assorted up to the most scenic views with a beautiful luxurious glamping pod with our own personal hot tub. Walking into the pod was an experience in its self they really do take attention to detail when preparing the pods , all the little detailing right down to the way the towels had been folded on the bed and the toilet roll pressed , the little things made it so much more special and intimate. Not one spec of dust or dirt on anything everything was clean and tidy and it felt so cozy. The first point of call however was the luxurious hot tub that was waiting for us already set to the best temperature to ensure our comfort. We soon learnt that carol and her daughter Danielle had the biggest hearts , they would always ask us if we needed lifts and recommend places to go and allowed us to watch the sun set from one of their scenic locations that is only across the road from the farm Speaking of the farm we were introduced to each and every animal they had there with them , I even had some kisses from the baby lambs and had some fun trying to catch some roosters , and our little fury friends on 4 legs that escorted us up to the pod at each chance they got it was a Barrel of laughs I would not have chose anywhere else to spend my 22nd birthday , Over all we had the best time here and we cannot wait to come back as we were made to feel like family , on the last night we all gathered at the main house for a final farewell with a barbecue dinner and just made us feel special. We will be back no doubt about it ❤️ Ellesse & Dan

Wow , where to start .

The property was first class , spotlessly clean, everything you needed and more. The hot tub was fabulous , when you were in it surrounded by beautiful scenery it was like a piece of heaven on earth . Carol and Ian are so kind and thoughtful , nothing is too much trouble they made us feel so very welcome . We will definitely be returning very soon. We can't recommend this holiday enough . Sad to leave when our stay was over and an't wait to return . Catherine and Phil Stephenson and Millie the dog .

I loved this place and wood highly recommend to anybody especially if you want to take a fur baby away.

We had the most wonderful time, lodges were brand new and immaculate.

Views were incredible and the hosts of the farm were such the most welcoming and friendly of families. Highly recommended this place and will definitely be returning soon.

Amazing, really friendly people and really help full will most definitely stay again.

The pods are amazing really cosy, ps the hot tubs are amazing!

Incredible!

What a gorgeous place to stay!

It could not have been cleaner and it felt so wonderfully cozy and peaceful. We did not feel overlooked or surrounded by others at all but were still close to sweet villages and beauty spots. The hot tub was fantastic to come back to after long walks, this was certainly something unique compared to other places we looked at for a similar price. It was lovely to see the farm animals including a new born lamb & the donkeys! We would certainly recommend this place to our family / friends. 10/10, thank you for having us!!!

Brilliant camping pod, very clean and well supplied with towels.

Hosts very friendly and someone always around to ask if you needed anything. Lovely location and site will definitely go back
