About Mosedale End Farm Glamping Pod
Nestled on a charming working farm in the shadows of Carrock Fell, this modern and cosy pod offers the unique experience of working farm life with sheep herding experiences, lambs to greet in spring and breathtaking views of the surrounding Lake District landscapes - think tranquillity and dark skies! The pod is available for adults only, although there may be little ones onsite staying in the B&B. The pod features a comfortable double bed that is made up for your arrival, as well as a smart TV for cosying up in the evenings enjoying your favourite film or series. The pod has an open plan layout with a mini kitchen area if you're looking to self cater, here there is a microwave, a small fridge, a kettle, toaster as well as crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. There is a dining area inside for enjoying your meals and a sofa too. There is also free WiFi and electric sockets so you can stay connected throughout your stay. Towards the back of the pod is your ensuite, complete with a shower, toilet, sink and heated towel rail with towels provided - you will just need to bring along your toiletries. Outside of the pod is a picnic bench for dining al fresco and making the most of the countryside views and dark skies at night. There is the option to hire a gas BBQ during your visit too. Next to the pod is a small garden with a stream running through, the perfect soundtrack to your holiday. The site also offers a B&B in the main farm building so you may see other guests onsite. There are a range of extras available at an extra cost, including freshly prepared breakfast hampers delivered straight to your door, picnic hampers and delicious homemade cakes and sweet treats made by the owner. Guests are provided with a bag of corn for feeding the hens and guests are also able to help collect their eggs! This peaceful site truly provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and the experience of living on a working farm with wake up calls from the cockerel, bleats from the sheep and the sound of owls hooting at night. The farmer also offers guests the chance to try herding the sheep and meeting newborn lambs in spring. If you want to explore your surroundings, the town of Keswick is within a 20 minute drive and there are plenty of Wainwright's available on your doorstep so there's no need to take the car if you want to leave it behind! Head up Carrock Fell, Blencathra or wild swim in Bowscale Tarn. Sorry, no dogs due to the working farm location. There is a fire pit available to hire in a separate area but this is available on a first come first served basis with the B&B guests too, but you can add the gas BBQ to your booking if you want to cook some meals in the open.
