Suprise View is bright, cheerful, spacious, beautifully furnished cottage. It was a delight to explore such an unspoiled area of the Lake District and for us, being on a working farm was an added delight.
Angela
Very clean. Easy location to the beach and the middle of the lakes. Nice and quiet campsite. It is a working farm, so please respect the farmer and the rules. Would definitely book again.

Surprise View is a real home from home - very comfortable, and with an amazing view of the Lakeland Fells. Very friendly goats as well!
