Nice pods and clean, lovely remote location. Very quiet, no TV and limited phone signal, which added to the remote experience. Great hosts, and accommodating if you need anything.

What an amazing find these were. Pods are in their own field with a separate parking area. We stayed in late September for 2 nights and were so lucky with the weather. The last night we were blessed with an open sky and the star display was something like we've never seen. We can't wait to go back and would recommend these to anyone. The pods are small but well designed and are super warm with underfloor heating. There is copious amounts of hot water but no cooker, only a microwave so plan your meals carefully. The views are spectacular from the pods and its so peaceful. I could go on and on.

We had a lovely stay! The pod was immaculate and had everything you could want for a stay in the Lake District. Very peaceful location and decking area to sit outside. The location was perfect for us and everything was within an hours drive. Very happy and would return again - thank you! :)

We had a great time staying in the pod with out two children. It was a bit tight for four people, but that's part of the fun! The view from the pod was idyllic and we enjoyed going for walks around the area and star-gazing in the night. The pod was extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. It would have been useful to have some scissors in the "kitchen", but otherwise we had everything we needed. Thanks for a memorable weekend!

Thanks for such a great review. It's always lovely to have such positive feedback. Delighted you got to do some star gazing! Apologies for no scissors. They must have gone walk about. I'll make sure I put a pair in for the next guests.

Lovely welcome to a stunning view, once I found the pod, a nice birthday card was left. Can't fault the pod, it was brilliant and comfortable. I just wish there was a stash of milk, tea or coffee, like in a hotel! I was thirsty on arrival after a long trip. The whole thing was magnificent, very well set out and I could have stayed longer! Highly recommend. Just missing hot tub facilities to soak in the views on a sunny fresh morning. - Will be back next year.

Thanks so much for such lovely feedback about the pod. Really pleased you recommend it so highly and enjoyed the stunning views. We don't have plans for hot tubs or hotel facilities as we love the natural simplicity but very much hope you'll be back.

Wow, what a fabulous couple of days. Stunning location, so peaceful, yet accessible to the wider Lake District. Perfect for our little family and dog. A cooling dip in the river, then listening to the birdsong (including cuckoo!), while sitting by the Kadai firepit were just perfect. The pod was surprisingly spacious, with comfy bed and wet room. George was very welcoming and helpful, all in all a refreshing and relaxing break. Look forward to our next visit.

Thanks Louise for such a lovely review. So glad you enjoyed all the birdsong and a dip in the river. Hope to see you again.

We were able to walk straight from the pod and into stunning landscape. Loved doing yoga on our deck in the early morning sunshine whilst taking in the magnificent views, listening to the cuckoo and the bleating lambs! We also enjoyed being able to nip down to the the river for a cooling-off dip and then later gather around our fire pit for later supper, a glass of fizz and a bit of star gazing. A perfect long weekend getaway! Pod was very clean, well presented and comfortable. The only thing we would have liked is a bit more toilet roll - 1 small roll for three adults over two nights wasn't really enough!
Site's response
Thanks for such a positive review. So glad you loved the landscape and managed a dip in the river, as well as finding the pod a great place to stay. As it is self-catering we provide a few essentials to get you started but we do expect guests to bring their own supplies.

I recently stayed at the Kentmere Farm Pods for 7 nights with my family. We had a super time. The pods were in a great location to explore the Lake District. Making a fire each night in the fire pit and roasting marshmallows was the highlight for my children.

Thanks Dan for a great review. So glad you had a good time. Just hope there was no cloud so you could enjoy the stars as well as the fire pit!

We spent a wonderful 4 nights in Froswick pod - gorgeous views, tranquil place, with occasional visits from our favourite escaped sheep! The pod was comfy and had everything we needed, and is well located for family-friendly activities around Windermere. We hired a fire pit, which was fun (for the marshmallow toasting). George was really friendly and welcoming, and the pod was clean and well-supplied.

Lovely accommodation in a Pod, with everything you need to live comfortably but wild enough for it to feel like a true adventure, ideal for families. The hosts are very accommodating and helpful providing you with lots of information about the area with lots of ideas for walks, food, days out come rain or shine. The location is breathtaking, with gorgeous views which never get boring. Lots of room for children to play outside and explore by themselves and get in touch with nature and the surrounding. Staying here was the highlight of our trip to the UK, highly recommended.

Lovely little pods! Would highly recommend! More spacious than you think! We stayed in the Frostwick, which met all our needs. Nice comfy double bed, shower & toilet in one, little kitchen area with a microwave and fridge, seating area and decent L shaped sofa! We hired a fire pit and there were also BBQs to hire. The farm was lovely, we overlooked the sheep and cows / highland cow, it was so peaceful and not noisy at all! There is a lovely little walk down to the river too. The farm site location was perfect, 5 mins from Staveley village, about 15 mins from Kendal in one direction and 15 mins from Windermere in the other, which made it perfect for days out. We did the Craggy Woods walk, which is just out of the village. I couldn't fault the site at all. Only thing was the signal was poor until you got to the village but that's all part of camping!!

We stayed in the White Howe (dog friendly) pod. You would have never had known that it had been used by other doggos before, it was amazingly clean. The location was great, lots of nice little walks at your doorstep. This was ideal for our family walks and evening strolls. Having a toddler and young baby, I was at ease letting my little one run round as the field is secure and safe. The pod itself was fantastic, it has everything you need in one space. We didn't expect to receive 4G but we were able to get reception. Overall our experience was brilliant, we will definitely be back. Thank you to Georgina for keeping us updated with relevant information before our stay.

My wife, kids and I visit every year. We absolutely love this place. The location is stunning and relaxing and the kids have a great time exploring. Short drive to Windermere and lots of walks with a great village near by. The pods are perfect with all the facilities you need. We will be back again next year (and the year after….)

My fiancé and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and had such a lovely time! The pods are perfect and have everything that you may need. There was a kitchen area that was well stocked with everything that you could need (cutlery, plates, glasses) and a bed with a thick duvet on. There was a very clean bathroom, with a good shower and plenty of hot water. It was a wholesome weekend, where we enjoyed a break from the norms of technology. The scenery was spectacular! Thank you.
