everything you need at your fingertips. very clean, comfy beds.

Judith United Kingdom

The 3 bedroom flat we rented was super clean, beds were very comfy and everything worked exactly as it should. Water pressure great. On the last day I accidentally forgot to drop off the key and the staff arranged to meet us in Penrith to collect it! Could not have been nicer about it.

Susie United Kingdom

The cottage was very comfortable for a family of 4, and a dog. All kitchen facilities provided. The location was remote and peaceful next to a working farm, so lots of farm animals and red squirrels. Cottage was part of Waterfoot campsite around a 20 minute walk to Pooley Bridge, easy to find with the directions.

Paul United Kingdom

This was a delightful cottage in the centre of Pooley Bridge and it was decorated in modern style inside with very comfortable facilities. Rooms and bathrooms were light and airy. There was room for four cars in the back yard, a garden with table 6 chairs with our own private river bank.

Christine United Kingdom

the S-Pod was fantastic for a family of 4/5 we travelled as a 6 with 4 adults and two children and two dogs and we found it cramped. Dog friendly location with local amenities! they have a lovely shop on site which has some necessities and a couple of local shops in Pooley Bridge if you needed more than what this shop has to offer.

Christina United Kingdom

Location is fabulous,just 6 miles from the motorway but it seemed like 100. The S-Pod we had was so much fun. Absolutely spotless, so well designed, just loved it!! The lady at the reception was lovely, you walk through the woods to get to Pooley Bridge where the pubs and beer are excellent, we had a brilliant time.

Alison United Kingdom

The campsite was very well maintained and cared for, and staff were visible. It felt safe and friendly and was just a short walk down to the lake. Our Ecopod was of excellent quality and the fittings and fixtures were high spec. It says it sleeps 6 but we found 3 was ideal. Plenty of storage and electrical sockets with usb too, and good lighting.

Hilary United Kingdom

Everything was fantastic. I have stayed in hotels across the world that are not near as good as here. I will be back.

Siobhan Ireland

Location and accommodation great. Nice walk into the village, with plenty of places to eat.

Sally United Kingdom

Provided absolutely everything you need, great location . Lovely sunny aspect . Must also add all of the staff around the site were super helpful.
