This tranquil glamping pod is perfect for couples planning memorable adventures across the Lake District, and sits in the national park’s very heart, on the banks of Lake Windermere. From this famous body of water, set out on waterside picnics and rambles, join a steam cruise ride and dive into the local aquarium if the rain comes. For more walks, join the wide range of trails from your doorstep, and hike the length of Lake Windermere to reach Orrest Head, which offers wonderful views of the surrounding lakes and fells. Take a ride on the car ferry to discover Hill Top House (6.5 miles), the former home of Beatrix Potter, and carry on to Hawkshead (12 miles) with its whitewashed houses and welcoming cafes. Visit the smaller, quieter lake of Grasmere (15 miles) and sample some of the region’s famous gingerbread. Ambleside (10.5 miles) is home to shops, restaurants, a cinema, and one of the most famous, picturesque houses in the Lake District.
Step inside this charming pod and uncover a studio-style living space with all the amenities for a comfortable, self-catered stay together. Sink into the sofa after long, lakeside walks, and flick on the Smart TV for some entertainment as you cook a feast for two in the well-appointed kitchenette. Dine together at the fold-out table inside, or alfresco-style out on the decking. At the end of each day away, retreat to the welcoming double bed, draw the dividing curtain and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. If you’re bringing an extra child or two, find that the sofa folds out to a double bed. Kickstart each day in the well-equipped en-suite shower room which completes the interior.
Outside, make full use of the private decking, listening to the sound of birdsong and the water lapping on the banks of Windermere. The outdoor table and chairs here are perfect for quiet morning coffees and memorable al fresco meals together, long into the night. On site, you’ll find shared EV charging points as well as a shop and cafe if you don’t fancy cooking. Private parking is also available for one car.
