About the site


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.

Glamping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Feb 2025

Great location and though it was located off of a main road, it wasn't noisy at all. I did enjoy my stay but I do find the lakes overtly expensive for what you get. Though this place was adorable. The microwave oven thing did not work, I think this place would benefit from an air fryer. The bathroom needed resealing but it was all clean and tidy. Host was lovely and left us to it after a quick introduction.

Perfect getaway!

We stayed in January and were pleasantly surprised at how warm it was during the night in the well insulated pod. Mark was very welcoming and happy to help in any way possible. Fantastic location, very peaceful and picturesque views. Overall, a very comfortable stay and would 100% return in the future!

An amazing and helpful host, with a very accommodating pod

Glamping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Jan 2025

The pod is about 6 mins from Coniston Centre and about 25mins from Ambleside or Windemere. It's in a lovely and quiet spot, just set out the way but not too far. The host met us upon arrival and showed us how to work the hot tub and everything with the glamping pod. It was all spotless and everything was ready for our stay with towels and cooking equipment provided. This was also in a great spot for climbing the old man of Coniston as we did. The bed was very comfy also with a cosy feeling about the place. For the price in the lake district is definitely more than worth it! Everything about this pod definitely met our expectations and definitely will return.
