About The Church House Inn

Ideally located for the many walks/hikes the Lake District has to offer, The Church House enjoys a stunning setting surrounded by ancient woodland and lush fields home to the resident Herdwick sheep. The site is also home to a luxury glamping pod, situated in its own private setting (away from the touring site here) and sleeping up to four. Whether you're looking for a romantic escape or an idyllic base for your family holiday, this is sure to fit the bill. Equipped with its own ensuite with toilet and shower, the pod also features a four person hot tub and fire pit - a gazebo ensures wet weather won't get in the way of luxury either! Inside you'll be treated to double bed and pull out sofa bed, kitchenette and dining area. All bedding and towels included. Outdoor table and chairs are ready for dining alfresco too. Pets welcome.

The Church House Inn is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.

Friendly owner. A clean pod, with good facilities and heating. Nice hot tub with nice scenery and good walks. It was 5 mins to Coniston and 20 mins to Ambleside I would recommend to any couples looking for a romantic getaway in the country.

Wow, what an amazing time my partner and I had at the glamping pod, beautiful location and perfect for the lake. When we arrived the Hot tub was already heated by the owner who was absolutely helpful and let us know everything we needed to know. The pod was spotless with everything you'd need, including a welcome pack with biscuits, wine, milk, coffee, tea etc. I will definitely be booking this pod again, thank you so much.

Fantastic place to stay.

Fantastic place to stay not far from Coniston. Lovely pub across the road called ‘The Wilson’s Arms’ and Mark our host was extremely helpful. The garden was secure for our dog. Would highly recommend.
