Liked: The place was really great, the pods were really clean, staff were really helpful as well. Everything was organised properly and you get an email with some reminders ahead of the booking.
Disliked: Nothing! One comment I have though is we had a hard time firing up the stove - apparently there's a trick to it but we never got the smaller stove to work 🤣

From the manager: Thanks for your review, Zheena! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness and helpful staff. Sorry to hear about the stove trouble—it can be tricky sometimes! We hope you come back again and we can share some tips with you. 😊

Glamping cabin
Liked: Lovely site, with lots of facilities including laundrette, shop, play areas, hot food van. The glamping cabins were alot bigger than anticipated which was a lovely surprise. It had most items needed for a comfortable stay including dishwasher, 2x disposal bbqs & a fully equipped kitchen. Easy access to Coniston water for a day on the lake.
Disliked: No hair dryer (however I think you could hire one fro. reception, but I didn't bother) Just a few housekeeping issues - dishwasher had a awful drain smell, Mould on the cabin curtains, mould round the sink & bottom of shower cubicle. This didn't impact our stay!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, Sami! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed our lovely site and the spacious glamping cabins—it’s great that they exceeded your expectations. It sounds like you made the most of the facilities, from the laundrette to the hot food van, and I’m happy you found everything you needed for a comfortable stay, especially with easy access to Coniston Water for a day on the lake. I appreciate you pointing out the housekeeping issues. Your insights are important to us, and we’ll look into the dishwasher smell and the mould concerns. We hope to see you again soon! -Amy

Glamping microlodge
Liked: Wonderful location for Conniston Lake and only a 30 minute drive to Windermere. The accommodation was the perfect place to stay prior to taking on The ROC England on 7th Sept. Really clever micro lodge design and hope to return with my brother and his family at some point.
Disliked: N/a

Camping pod
Liked: Closeness to the beautiful coniston lake which was perfect for swimming. Beautiful location surrounded by the forest. If you want a peaceful stay then avoid schools holidays as a popular destination for families. Though I will say all families while we was there adhered to the noise limit and didn’t have a effect on our stay. Amenities close by and immaculate.
Disliked: Beds in the pods very uncomfortable so I’d advise bring a blow up mattress to put on top.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for your glowing review, Nicola! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the stunning location we have near Coniston Lake and the beautiful forest surroundings. We hope the water wasn't too cold. It’s great to know that the families during your stay respected the noise limits, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere. We appreciate your feedback about the beds in the pods; we’re always looking for ways to enhance our guests’ comfort and will take your suggestions into account. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon! -Amy

Glamping cabin
Liked: Amazing cabin had everything provided and the quality of the cabin was amazing. The site was lovely and quiet with lovely walks to the coniston lake. The cabin had all mod cons that is needed for your holiday and staff was super friendly and very helpful. Recommended for families with young children as they also had play areas for the kids which was lovely.
Disliked: Only issue which is not a issue really but the cabins did not have WiFi when we believed it did. Apart from that lovely enjoy stay
