About the site
Tucked into an open valley near pretty ash trees are these well spaced pods, featuring a bespoke design. They are close to the northern border of the national park and set down the private track on a working farm - so far from busy main roads, but a handy drive from popular Lakes spots. Inside each pod you'll find a welcome pack and comfy beds - a double bed, two bunker beds and a double sofa bed. All bedding and towels are supplied and these very roomy pods sleep six. The pods' kitchen areas are fully fitted with a dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, hob and fridge freezer. A dining table and chairs are supplied too. There are also ensuite facilities with a top notch power shower, loo and underfloor heating (plus double glazing) to ensure you're always toasty. For entertainment there's a Smart Freeview TV with lots of channels! Outside is the luxury of an optional wood-fired hot tub from Finland for those keen to treat themselves, plus every pod has an outdoor seating area and picnic table. The site's aim is to support other local businesses and they do this by providing extras for celebrations balloons and decor, afternoon teas, BBQ and breakfast meat packs and many other packages (available on request).
