Additionally, there are two furnished pods for up to two people, each complete with a double bed, small dining table, chest of drawers, kettle, tea/coffee making facilities, cool box and an outdoor camp stove. Outside you'll also have plenty of space to stretch out as well as outdoor seating, perfect for al fresco dining. To top it off, you'll even have your own hot tub!

The communication from the people on site was exceptional. On the way to the campsite we received an upgrade due to the state of the field (due to weather), so we stayed in a pod. The pod had a heater which was great for the cold night, and the views in the morning were amazing! It had private cooking space, separate from the bed, it also had a toilet and shower.
Would highly recommend!

Lovely pod and welcoming host - had all the amenities we needed and more! Enjoyed the views and stargazing in the hot tub, and was exactly what we needed as an overnight stop on a long journey.
Great location, great site!

Things to do on site and in the Wigton area
A 30 minute drive will take you to both Keswick and Derwentwater, as well as Ullswater in the heart of the Lake District National Park, lovely days out for the whole family.
If you're looking for stunning mountain walks then the Northern fell range is much closer, much quieter and well worth exploring. Don't forget to pack your camera as the views at the top are stunning.
