Our accommodation
The Hut @ Rawsons
If the words ‘let’s go camping’ fill you with dread and you’ve been fooled more than once that glamping is any different – we both know it’s not – yet you still love being outdoors, surrounded by woodland and nature, then The Hut @Rawsons, a completely private hideaway, is the place for you.
You can book The Hut and the Room in sync to accommodate parties of 4!
Come with friends!
The Hut
The Hut offers the perfect opportunity to get ‘off grid’ for a few days. Snuggle up inside, or out, and relish the opportunity to get lost in a good book (ditch the gadgets!). Listen to some vintage vinyls. Cook/eat/relax alfresco.
Exploring the countless trails right from your doorstep (walking/cycling/running), return to soak in a lovely warm bath under the trees. Switch everything off and tune into the birdsong.
Light the wood burner & play board games … and finally, dive under your Siberian down duvet and gaze at the stars.
Whatever you decide you’ll leave Rawsons feeling relaxed, revived & restored.
The Hut @Rawsons sleeps two, but the farm also has The Room @Rawsons which sleeps two. These can be booked and coordinated.

Wi-Fi: The Owners thought long and hard about this and decided that The Hut had to be a place where you come and allow yourself to disconnect, so there is no Wi-Fi. But, there is excellent phone coverage/signal for data usage if you really can’t live without it!

If you don't fancy cooking, there is a huge choice of gastropubs, restaurants, lovely hotel restaurants and cafes nearby – most are open 7 days a week. These include Levens Hall Café & Gardens, The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite, The Hare & Hounds at Levens, Bangkok 7 in Kendal (if you like Thai, you’ll love this one!), The Gilpin Spice at Crook (an open kitchen restaurant serving tapas-style pan-Asian dishes).
-
For that special occasion, there is Simon Rogan's Michelin 3 Star restaurant L'Enclume & his 1 Star restaurant Rogan & Co both in Cartmel (17 mins drive) or his Michelin Plate restaurant Henrock, in Bowness (22 mins drive). Locally is the Michelin Star HRiSHi restaurant at The Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, Crook (21 mins drive).

Within an hour’s drive of Rawsons Farm, there are four other Michelin Star restaurants – Ambleside/Grasmere/Penrith & Keswick. These are perfect for special days out centred around a delicious lunch, of course!
-
Levens Village Shop is just 7 minutes’ drive and has everything you need for indoor or outdoor eating – fresh bread & cakes daily from local bakeries/ milk/ fresh veg & fruit/ meat & pies from local butchers/ even a mobile fresh fish van on Wednesdays! Their stock of wines & spirits isn’t so shabby either!
-
Low Sizergh Barn Shop, with one of the most scrumptious cheese counters you’ll find, is the same distance away and you can even watch the cows being milked at the same time! Most, if not all, of their products, are either homemade, homegrown, or locally sourced.
-
For those who can’t resist an outrageously good pie, a visit to Higginson’s award-winning Butchers in Grange Over Sands is an absolute must (13 mins drive). Here they also so have absolutely everything you can imagine for the BBQ – as does Smith Stuart & Sons in Milnthorpe (10 mins) or Roast Mutton in Kendal (16 mins).
