The Hut @Rawsons - a glamping that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom | Cabin in Levens

Love the Outdoors but Hate Camping?
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.
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!
What's Included:
The rental price includes bed linen, towels, bathrobes, tea towels, tea, coffee, fresh milk, butter, eggs, cereal, enough capsules for the Lavazza coffee machine to get you going, and the 'essentials' cupboard will have oil/salt/pepper/condiments available to use during your stay. A wheelbarrow of logs, firelighters & kindling will be supplied and more can be purchased on site.
On a Foodie Note:
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).
Things to Note
Access: Access to The Hut is on foot via a private grass track approx 150 m long - there is no vehicle access from the carpark. The Owners, therefore, recommend that guests bring a rucksack, or a flight bag size suitcase as we will use a wheelbarrow to help transport belongings - this really is the perfect opportunity to travel light! The track to The Hut has no lighting so a head torch is essential.
Safety: You must be 'sure footed' to make the most of your stay at Rawsons, as there is a lot of uneven ground, with steps and slippery surfaces - The Hut @Rawsons is on several different levels - a good pair of comfy walking shoes are a must, especially if you are going to take advantage of the many doorstep trails. Footwear once at the hut can be trainers or something croc-like, i.e easy to slip on and off.
Smoking/Vaping: Rawsons is strictly non-smoking/non-vaping. This applies to The Hut and all its surrounding grounds & woodland (10+ acres). This is non-negotiable and sadly you will be asked to leave if you choose to disregard this note.
Parking/Storage/Bikes: Parking and secure bicycle storage are available - Rawsons can also accommodate paddle boards etc. Please just let the Owners know before arrival. If you don't want to bring your own bike, there is a company in Witherslack (9 mins drive or 20 mins walk) that rents electric bikes - perfect to discover the local area - or an alternative, in Staveley (18 mins drive), which rents out every type of bike you can imagine! Prior booking is essential.
Dogs: Although dogs aren't permitted (2 Irish Soft Coated Wheatens already reside!) please don't let this stop you including your 4 legged friends as the Owners cannot recommend highly enough fantastic boarding kennels (6 mins drive) where you can leave your dog on a B&B basis - meaning you can collect your dog as you head out for the day (from 8 am) and drop him/her back (before 6 pm) to have supper & rest until the following day! You just need to let them know your plans daily. Traditional full boarding is of course also available. The kennels have all the usual luxuries, i.e a large outdoor play area, heated floors etc - the cost also includes all bedding and food. They also offer services such as grooming/bathing/clipping etc, etc. Prior booking is essential.
