About Troutbeck Head Experience Freedom Glamping
Set in an idyllic spot in Penrith with views towards Blencathra, explore the stunning Lake District National Park in comfort with a stay in one of the glamping pods or cabins. Simply relax and take in the scenery around on a lake cruise around Ullswater, or head out for an adventure attempting Scaffel Pike! The site offers a range of glamping pods and cabins to suit all groups, each fully furnished and family friendly. Each features high quality mattresses as well as an ensuite bathroom with a loo, shower and sink, and a kitchen equipped with a fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave oven, crockery and tableware. Outside each of the units is a table, chairs and a parasol set on a private decking, plus a brick built BBQ station with one disposable BBQ provided. Ideal for al fresco dining, cook up a feast on the BBQ and tuck in as you watch the sun go down across Blencathra as you enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple. The glamping pods sleep four (two adults and two children) with a double bed, sofa bed and bunk bed. For something a bit larger, opt for one of the glamping cabins suitable for up to six people with a double bed, a fold-out double and a raised bunk with twin beds. The glamping cabins also come with an oven and dishwasher. The accessible pod has a spacious interior with a turning circle of a minimum of 1.5m where needed, level access and wide entry doors so they are suitable for wheelchair users. These sleep up to three (two adults and a child) with a sofa chair that converts into a single and twin beds with orthopaedic mattresses Bedding is provided in all of the accommodation, you can either bring your own towels or hire them from the site. Rookin House Equestrian and Activity Centre is next door to the site and offers horse riding, archery, quad biking and even clay pigeon shooting! Or, if you would prefer to take things slower, hop on a lake cruise at Ullswater for a peaceful journey around the second-largest lake of The Lake District. Of course, The Lake District National Park is a walker's dream with miles of walks surrounded by stunning scenery, from lakes to mountains and waterfalls, there is plenty to explore! The Trout Beck River runs past the site and offers a lovely walk with great views of Blencathra. Four-legged friends are welcome in the accessible ensuite glamping pods, but sorry, no pets in the ensuite glamping pods or cabins. Please note that the glamping is located on the Caravan and Motorhome Club touring campsite.

We stayed in the Barn Owl glamping cabin that slept 6, and were really pleasantly surprised at how lovely it was and how many facilities there were. There was a good size living space with a pull-out table that was perfect for meals and board games, and really comfy beds with bedding provided. The cabin was spotless and really welcoming, with tea/coffee provided and all the crockery we could have needed (including cute little egg cups!). En suite bathroom as part of cabin, but between 4 people, some of us ended up using the campsite facilities instead, which were clean and close by. The location is fantastic, only a 15 minute drive from Ullswater. Overall a great experience, would love to come back!
Excellent weekend

We stayed in the accessible pod due to it being dog friendly, there was absolutely everything you would need to stay there to cook and clean the pod. I loved the little extras of a portable dog bowl, poo bags and a bag of treats for the pup! There was also a throw away BBQ provided. I have never seen such a clean site. The dog walk was beautiful and the park was well maintained. We will definitely be returning!

Things to do on site and in the Penrith area
Located in the Lake District, there is plenty to fill your days with even if you are simply looking to unwind and reconnect with nature there is no better spot. The Trout Beck runs past the site and offers a walk towards Great Mell Fell and pretty views towards Blencathra.
There is no better way to spend a slow day then taking a lake cruise on Ullswater, just ten minutes from site. Sit back and enjoy the pretty views of the shore and surroundings from the boat, and finish up enjoying a tasty meal in a country pub!
