A note from the site themselves...

The pods are each completely bespoke and lovingly built by us. We were inspired by the shape of railway carriages, each one being designed to make full use of the space and provides maximum headroom, creating the perfect place for outdoor enthusiasts, families or couples to stay.

We are a family business that uses each of our skills to create a space for the community to enjoy. We pride ourselves on offering clean, comfortable accommodation and a warm welcome for all of our guests. We can't wait to welcome you soon, The Orchard Hideaways Team

Camping Pod - Enclosure Collection PodsAug 2024

We stayed for 4 nights with 2 children, the pod was clean and had everything we needed. We had no issues with noise, even when the chill out area was booked by a large group. The toilets and showers were spotless the whole time we were there and the grounds were kept well, and the small park was perfect for our kids. We had days out in Keswick and Ullswater which weren't too much of a drive away. Would recommend!

Great setting

Camping Pod - Enclosure Collection PodsJun 2024

It's a great little glamping site. A group of pods on the edge of the Lake District. Great location with easy access to lots of nice towns and very close (around 3 minutes drive) to Rheged visitors centre for breakfast and soft play for younger children. Lovely for family groups with great additional facilities that can be hired. Everyone obeyed the quiet site rules and there was a climbing frame for younger children. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Great stay
