get To Know Us
Wildscapes Retreat is a family-run space, built from a deep desire to live differently.
A few years ago, life looked very different. I was living in New Zealand, chasing a version of life that, from the outside, looked like the dream and definitely once was. But something didn’t feel right anymore – and deep down, I knew I’d outgrown it. When my mum became ill, I decided to come back to the UK. It wasn’t easy to leave that life behind, especially when so many people couldn’t understand why I would walk away from it. But it gave me something far more important – time, perspective, and a reminder of what really matters. I felt really grounded here. After she passed, everything shifted and my priorities changed. I realised I no longer wanted to live on the other side of the world – and meeting Sam made coming home feel right, helping me truly settle back in.
Wildscapes Retreat grew from that place. Not from a business idea – but from a need to create something more real where I could be close to family. We’ve created a space where people can step away from the noise, reconnect with themselves, and experience a simpler, more grounded way of being. This isn’t just somewhere to stay – it’s a reflection of the life we’re choosing to live now.
We’re a small, hands-on family team, and everything here has been shaped and built by us. You won’t find a big operation or a polished resort – just real people, a warm welcome, and a space that’s been created with care.
You’ll find us half way between the breathtakingly beautiful Lake District and the stunning Yorkshire Dales, nestled at the foot of the majestic Howgills.
With views of Green Bell, the tranquil sound of the little beck running by and surrounded by serene landscape our family farm is a true haven.

Campsite
Camping at Wildscapes is all about slowing down, enjoying nature, and finding your own space. We’re not a regimented, line-by-line campsite – you’re welcome to pitch your tent, bring your campervan, or stay in a bell tent wherever feels right. The site has a few different areas, so groups can often have their own space, while still enjoying the atmosphere of the campsite.
