Why not try something different!

Our Tipi Tents are available from May until the end of September and have uninterrupted views of the river Eden. The Tipis are made from cotton and have a raised decking area.

We ask that no cooking is done inside the Tipi and any barbecues must be on the Grass, not on the decking.

You need to bring everything to camp but not the tent. There is an electric supply to the Tipi, but no heating or lighting is provided.

Check in from 3pm, and we ask you to leave your Tipi by 11am on the day of departure.

We would appreciate the traditional way of removing shoes when entering the Tipi, and please leave it as you found it.

Sorry no dogs or candles are allowed inside our Tipis.

Mains Farm is an excellent site and suits our family very well. It is peaceful, well organised and clean with open spaces and walks from the caravan for us to enjoy. It is always a fun place to spend time...

This was the 3rd time staying at the campsite and it just as perfect as the other times. Nice and clean well kept site with nice walks on the doorstep. Really good value for money. Friendly owners made sure everything was perfect for us. Thank you and we hope to be back soon.

This was my second stay with my dog. Me and the dogs love the size of the pitches, and the walks. Beautiful views. They are really friendly, everything is run well and the facilities are spotless. I will definitely be back again.

Nice spacious pitch and lots of space to exercise the dogs.

We stayed at the camp site as we were competing at the Phase Purple Agility Show and we had easy access to the rings. Location was very good with plenty of space. Julie and Rob were very welcoming and we had no problems with anything. Facilities were ample with plenty of hot water for showering and washing up. Hope to return in the future.M & T Q

My annual trip to a dog agility show. Mains farm is a fantastic venue and nothing is a bother. Beautiful location. Clean and well looked after. My phone internet was rubbish, but due to my provider. Definitely well worth a visit! 🩷

Clean and well looked after site. Excellent facilities. Plenty of space and don’t feel hemmed in at all. Fab area for children and lovely walks around. Didn’t do any exploring as was there for agility competition with my dogs.

Dog show camping

Feehan, Alice - 27/09/2024

Thought the grass at the pods could have been shorter. I know it’s a working farm and it may be as it was nearly the end of the season the farmer was looking to use grass for silage but it is also a holiday spot so if the pods are still being rented out I think the area should still be kept in good order. Our pod did not have a table outside but all the others did. This was not tragic, but felt it was something that should have been checked before our arrival.The kitchen area around the microwave could have been cleaner e.g. cobwebs behind microwave,, microwave itself not as clean as it could have been. Ideally people using microwave should clean it after they have used it but I would have thought owners would check it between events.Did not think to take any photos of this.

Response from the owner

We are sorry you did not enjoy your 6th stay at Mains Farm. It is normally our pride as to how we keep our pitches tidy with grass cutting and strimming etc. However, as the Dog Agility Event approached the weather was too wet to cut. The day before we took the decision not to cut the grass in the pod area. Mainly to avoid crass clippings being trodden into the Pods. Regarding the bench - I can only think it may have been 'borrowed' by one of the neighbouring Pod's.We take onboard your comments about the Microwave and will ensure it is added to the daily work sheet of our hard working girls.

Long weekend of fun

McMinimee, Lynsey - 26/09/2024

A lovely setting. The pods are clean and the orchard field is lovely and peaceful. I enjoyed my stay. The only negative comment I had was the microwave in the shared kitchen was very dirty meaning I had to buy food rather than using the food I have brought with me. But other it was lovely. Great walks nearby, and a good location. With very helpful staff.

We adore Mains Farm. Stayed several times before and look forward to many more visits. Peaceful, stunning views, great facilities and lovely owners who do a fab job. Brilliant for our two Labradors who love watching the pheasants and other wildlife. Lovely walks along the river.
