  • Units have kitchens, double beds, shower rooms and seating space
Catch you at Cragg Farm Camping Pods – at the edge of the Lake District – for a Cumbria break with cracking views out over the northern fells. This park, around a five-minute drive from Cockermouth, has well-lit accommodation suitable for families or couples in peaceful surrounds with a wealth of walking trails nearby to suit all abilities. Each pod, built from Siberian larch to trap in heat, contains a fully fitted kitchen with a sink, a two-ring induction hob, an oven, a fridge-freezer and a microwave – essentially, the main bits and bobs you need for making meals. Other amenities include a generously sized shower room with a toilet and washbasin, plus fully fitted beds. Settle in at the dining table and chairs in the living space or spread out on a comfy corner sofa that turns into a double bed. Full insulation in the roof and floor, along with double glazing and underfloor heating, helps make sure your stay is as cosy as can be. While you’re indoors and toasty, switch on the LED lights and charge your electronic devices or flick on the TV. Outside, the pod has a spacious decked area next to a patch of land reserved for parking your car, so there’s ample room for alfresco relaxing. Need supplies? Cockermouth has numerous specialist shops for stocking up, including a butcher, bakery, greengrocer and fishmonger. There are also restaurants, coffee shops and bars.

Camping pod (bunk beds)

Liked: Lovely spacious & comfortable glamping pods atop a hill within a fenced off padddock overlooking a quiet farm (appears & sounds quiet but you can see lots going on). Owners are amazing & offer a very personal service. It's all a family run enterprise, even the lads get involved. See you in & out to make sure you start your break with all you need and leave with all you brought. Accommodation has all you need for a short stay. The oven was phenomenal & the fridge very spacious. Really enjoyed breakfasts on the decking watching the sheep on their rounds. Loads of little touches like complementary tea, coffee, hot chocolate & biscuits. Even provided with loads of local area info including places to eat and days out. The owners went above & beyond even after our break was over.

Underfloor heating in the pods made the stay very cosy.

Camping pod (bunk beds)

Liked: Everything was perfect. Superbly clean, perfectly stocked with utensils and even a nightlight for the kids. A fully equipped kitchen, including oven and full sized fridge, meant we could easily cook meals for our family of 5. Lovely host in Catherine. Would thoroughly recommend to all friends and family. Fab location, close to town but so rural and quiet. Amazing.

Local attractions

Being so close to the Lake District, there’s plenty to do while on a trip in this area. Wander around the National Trust’s Wordsworth House and Garden (10 minutes’ drive) for starters, the childhood home of one of England’s most famed poets, or point your compass towards wilder areas for ambling like Crummock and Loweswater (20 minutes). For challenging hikes, head up to Grisedale Pike (35 minutes); pedal pushers, meanwhile, should set off for the mountain bike trails in Whinlatter Forest Park (20 minutes). This spot also has a treetop adventure course and play areas for the kids. As a reward for all the roaming, have a jaunt to the Jennings Brewery Shop for tours and tastings (10 minutes). Or stick to the outdoors at the Lake District Wildlife Park (15 minutes), home to over 100 exotic animals, before rounding off your trip by checking out the views over to Scotland from the Solway Coast (45 minutes).
