About The Church House Inn

Ideally located for the many walks/hikes the Lake District has to offer, The Church House enjoys a stunning setting surrounded by ancient woodland and lush fields home to the resident Herdwick sheep. The site is also home to a luxury glamping pod, situated in its own private setting (away from the touring site here) and sleeping up to four. Whether you're looking for a romantic escape or an idyllic base for your family holiday, this is sure to fit the bill. Equipped with its own ensuite with toilet and shower, the pod also features a four person hot tub and fire pit - a gazebo ensures wet weather won't get in the way of luxury either! Inside you'll be treated to double bed and pull out sofa bed, kitchenette and dining area. All bedding and towels included. Outdoor table and chairs are ready for dining alfresco too. Pets welcome.

The Church House Inn is open all year round.

Pod - Glamping PodSep 2024

Fab stay in the glamping pod with our dog. Everything you could need and felt very secluded and private. Was a fab area for walking and exploring Coniston. Pub across the road was also great. Dog loved being able to roam around in the fenced off area and the hot tub was a great addition.

Pod - Glamping PodAug 2024

So many pods only cater for couples, so this was a great find for me and my brother, as it had a sofa bed, as well as the double bed (although the sofa bed was a little creaky but comfortable). Pod was small and cosy and had everything we needed for a few nights. A covered area was great, so we could enjoy BBQ's and use the hot tub in any weather. Although it did take some practice to work out the log burning hot tub for me. But I enjoyed the fact it was so much quieter and Mark was always happy to help. He was a great host, happy to help or advise, knowledgeable of local area and things to do. A pub for food is also right on the doorstep. Coniston is only 2 miles away with numerous other pubs, and places to eat. Walking routes for all abilities close by too. We had a lovely stay! Thanks.
