This ticked every box for me and was exactly what we wanted. Absolutely lovely property with lovely hosts. so relaxing and just perfect.

Daniel United Kingdom

Very well equipped, nice to have communal area at front or private BBQ area at side of pod, owners seem to have thought of everything and more.

Ben United Kingdom

Stunning location with pods that were thoughtfully equipped with everything from a lighter for the BBQ to underfloor heating and a TV. Outstanding price for exceptional quality - I can't recommend it highly enough.

Matthew United Kingdom

The location was beautiful with wonderful views. The pods were well equipped with absolutely everything we needed as a family. The children loved the cabin bunk beds! Very quirky! The attention to detail did not go unnoticed and the added bonus of facilities such as fire bits and bbq's were lovely. We will highly recommend.

Tina United Kingdom

The location is just spectacular, watching the sunset is amazing. Friendly host, smooth checkin, clean pod…absolutely loved this place, will be back in a heartbeat!!

Melissa United Kingdom

Fabulous location with great views of Bassenthwaite Lake. The pods were spacious with nice little touches. Would definitely recommend it. Great base to access to the northern Lake district, with Keswick not far away.

Alex United Kingdom

Fantastic, picturesque location within a short drive to Keswick.Great fun in a cosy pod for the family.

Andrew United Kingdom

Beautiful scenery. The pods were very clean and had everything you would need. Double bed was very comfy but the kids said their bunk beds weren’t as comfy

Lindsey United Kingdom

The use of space was well thought out. It was modern. The views were fantastic. Good location. Little extras such as tea jam and butters that were left. Great quality mattress and towels. Didn’t use the BBQ but seemed a decent standard.

Jane United Kingdom
