Clean and comfortable glamping pod in a beautiful location

We've just returned from our stay at the glamping pod, it was spacious enough even for the 2 of us plus our baby and dog. It was very clean, and the bed was comfortable unlike some of the plastic mattresses you often get in glamping pods. The shower was hot and we had what we needed to cook breakfast and feed our baby each day. The site was very private, away from the world it seemed and the hot tub was fantastic. Julie looked after us throughout our stay, we were given wine, tea, coffee, milk and very tasty ginger biscuits upon our arrival which was a lovely touch. Julie also lit the tub for us each day so that it was ready for our return from our days out walking. There is a beautiful walk through the bottom of the gate towards Coniston but it isn't accessible all of the way with a pram so we had to turn around (Julie did warn us of this) but the rest of the walk looked nice, through fields and over a stile, it takes you to the Bluebird Cafe. The pub opposite was great, staff very friendly and it's a modernised traditional pub, they offer breakfast at the adjoined cafe and the food was great for lunch and an evening meal. The only downside to the pod was that there weren't any places to store your clothes but we still managed and I'm sure most would bring less than we did for the 4 of us.
Great host

I took my boyfriend to the glamping pod for the weekend for his birthday and it was absolutely stunning. We were checked in really quickly and the hot tub was already ready to go when we arrived at 6pm. The pod itself was so incredibly clean and felt like a home away from home. We were able to invite a couple of friends to have a BBQ too. The pod is very close to Coniston and not too far of a drive from Windermere too. Milk, a welcome basket with tea and coffee and biscuits and a bottle of wine were all provided. Towels, robes and all the essentials for a comfortable stay allowed us to truly relax. The staff were all lovely and helped us to keep the logs burning for the hot tub. Would definitely recommend and hopefully be back soon!
Lovely pod for our anniversary stay!

We had a lovely two-night stay here! The pod itself was spotless and we loved all the added touches. We had fresh milk in the fridge, biscuits, Kendal mint cake and wine! The hosts were so accommodating and really friendly! They ensured we were stocked up with plenty of wood for the hot tub throughout our stay! Thank you, we will definitely be back!
Very nice place to stay and relax

This was an absolutely stunning place to stay and location. The views from the pod were gorgeous. It was so peaceful and private. They pre heated the hot tub for us and found a bottle of wine in the fridge left by the lovely people who run the Church House Inn. We will be back!

Myself, partner and our dog stayed at the glamping pod and what can I say, it was just perfect. The pod itself was cosy yet spacious, clean and well-equipped. The hot tub was FABULOUS and the space outside was great for our pooch as it's enclosed, so he could run around without us worrying he would get out. Mark the host was amazing, kept us topped up with wood for the fire and hot tub, was there for anything we needed and was generally a really lovely guy. It is only a 30-minute walk down to the shoreline of Coniston down the Cumbrian Way and has a lovely pub in the village too. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back again!
Fantastic!

Celebratory stop for my 26th birthday and couldn't find a fault in our stay if we tried! The hot tub (wood fire) was already warm on arrival and there was a cold bottle of wine in the fridge. The pod was clean and cosy with all the amenities you could need for a few nights away. The site is across from a pub/deli that serves meals throughout the day and is less than an hours walk from Coniston, maybe 20 minutes from Coniston Water. Was the best stay away I've had for a long time - we hope to be back!

What a lovely little gem this place is! The pod has everything you could possibly need and the hot tub was lovely. It was already heating up when we arrived. There was complementary wine, biscuits, fudge and some milk waiting in the pod for us, which was a really lovely touch. The local pub Wilson Arms has a new catering team and the food was fab. Would definitely recommend a stay at the Church House Inn pod. We will definitely be back!

Couldn't fault this lovely pod and Mark the owner. Mark left us a number of welcome goodies and couldn't help more with the lighting of the hot tub and checking all was okay for our stay. Super dog friendly and the location was ideal for us. Thanks Mark, we will be recommending.
Great location and smart pod

Wonderful place to stay to explore the lakes or to just relax. Hot tub is great and bed is very comfortable. Not too far from walks and there is a shop nearby in Coniston, which was ideal. Host was helpful and greeted on arrival. The only issue we had was the fire alarm when using the induction hob but if doors left open, all was fine! Also the microwave/oven is also best just used as a microwave as we couldn't get a good result cooking 'oven' food, such as pizza. However, for a glamping pod in the lakes, it was more than good enough. I'd recommend just taking microwave meals or sausages etc to cook in the frying pan.
Amazing

Very lovely owner, the pod was spotless. Was left a nice complimentary pack, and hot-tub was heated upon our arrival. If we needed anything, we were able to message the owner. Would definitely visit again.

Gorgeous pod in a quiet location. Mark was brilliant and had the hot tub ready for when we arrived, he recommended walks and pubs for us to visit and couldn't have done any more for us. The pod was so well equipped and warm (one thing we were a little worried about) with lots of nice touches like robes and treats, they really did think of it all. The only downside is Coniston (the nearest village) is on the small side, but luckily you have loads of other places in the area to explore! The pub across the road had the most delicious rustic pub food, so I would definitely also recommend there! :) Worth booking for a lovely little getaway!
Fantastic place!

A beautiful Glamping pod along with the hot tub. The pod looks even bigger in person! Was welcomed by a lovely woman who left us with a nice bottle of wine, biscuits and 2x boxes of cereal for the morning. A lovely quiet area with friendly people. Also recommend the pub called The Wilson across the road for a nice pint and meal. Only a 7 minute drive to Coniston, which is a lovely village. Will definitely be returning!

I would 100% recommend the Church House Inn. I took my partner for the weekend for his birthday and was absolutely beautiful. Mark the owner was very attentive, heated the hot tub for our arrival and supplied us with a lovely complimentary pack. Beautiful.
