"We have had a great time at Poppy Farm. There are lots of walks from the door and Kendal is only a short drive away. There are lots of walks in the folder to try - we did quite a few and enjoyed them all. Homescales riding centre was very good - they do lessons, slow treks and fast hacks. We had a really nice time and would love to come back soon. Thank you."

"Absolutely beautiful location. Really enjoyed ourselves, what a scene to wake up to everyday. A perfect place from where to discover the Lake District. Caravan cosy and clean, children loved "their garden", the trampoline was a big hit. The weather was perfect with enough sunshine. Eggs absolutely perfectly fresh, no comparison to the Supermarket stuff. We had a week here but loved to have stayed one or two more."

"What a lovely place to visit, the caravan has a picture postcard view. Wish we could take it home with us. The caravan has everything you nedd - it is clean, very cosy at night (we managed to get fire working). The weather has been good to us. What a relaxing week we have had. We enjoyed freshly laid eggs."

"Thank you for a wonderful few days. The caravans was spotless, hope we left it as good! Cannot imagine a better place to be based for exploring the Lakes. Waking up to the views from here certainly got us going! Look forward to staying again in the not too distant future.

"After a long hot journey what a pleasure to arrive to such a wonderful place. Caravan clean & welcoming with spectacular views. Thanks for the warm welcome, we explored some of the places you suggested - loved Hawes, Ambleside and long walks up the fells. Hope to return again next year, perhaps without the dog. His legs are getting too old for these hills! Many thanks."

"Thanks for providing us with the use of your lovely clean caravan. Nice to have met and chat with you both. Everything we needed was provided including the scenic view. Did lots of walking around Windermere, Ambleside, Coniston, Staveley. Our only grumble being "not here long enough"! Hope to see you again."

"Thank you for a lovely week. The caravan is perfect, it's cosy and homely. The views from the front window are breathtaking and we treasure it's beauty every time we set our eyes upon it. Our dog Buster has been very intrigued by your sheep, who have been grazing in the field behind us and yearning to go out and play with them. The site is very peaceful and relaxing. We thank you for your kindness and hospitality and look forward to seeing you again."

"Loved it so much the last time that we're back again .. and haven't been disappointed. Have done plenty of touring again but loved coming back to the caravan for that great view, the bats that performed for us every evening and a special treat this time - a Little Owl that we spotted twice. Hope to be back again sometime."

"A lovely peaceful place to hide away from the world and pretend a landmark birthday isn't happening! The caravan was lovely with plenty of space and well-equipped. We'd definitely like to return. It's a great base for visiting the Lakes and rare to find somewhere so restful that allows us to bring the dog. Thanks very much for the warm welcome and tasty eggs."

Poppy Farm Caravan Park

Poppy Farm Caravan Park is an attractive landscaped park exclusively for owner occupied static caravans.

The park nestles amidst unspoilt countryside, just outside the Lake District National Park, on the northern outskirts of Kendal. Poppy Farm is a traditional working farm in a rural location with panoramic views and is a tranquil retreat for those seeking peace and quiet and who simply wish to "get away from it all". 

It is a wildlife haven and offers a home to numerous species of birds, owls, woodpecker aswell as squirrel, rabbit, deer and hedgehogs.  We have beef cattle and sheep with lambs which can been seen in the surrounding fields.

We, John and Hazel have owned the Park for over 20 years and along with our children Lorna, Alistair and Bradley constantly strive to provide a personal, friendly service.  Some of our customers have been with us since the site opened and their friends have joined them which is a testimony in itself.
