“Stay on a working farm.”
We have just returned from Linskeldfield Farm which is set in a lovely part of Cumbria. You are sent upto the minute details for on arrival and departure of your stay but apart from that you feel you are staying at an extremely friendly and free to roam farm. It is very welcoming and safe for children to explore the land around and to get up close to the amazing mix of differing animals. There is a mix of stays to cater for all types of holiday from camping to motor homes to cottages which are well served with every utensils required. We cannot praise this farm and family enough, even has a farm shop to save having to venture far, oh and I forgot amazing views, but this is the Lake District.
