Pods with a great view (added by manager 25 aug 2023)

  • Small glamping site on a historic Cumbria working farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Penrith; 25 minutes to Ullswater
  • Well-equipped ensuite pods suitable for couples or families
Grab your other half or pile the kids in the car – the pods at Hardrigg Hall Glamping make a fabulous base for all sorts of Cumbria holidays, whether it’s a family break or a rural escape for a couple. These smart and cosy pods are part of a historic farm on the edge of the Lake District National Park – so historic, in fact, that it’s even got its own medieval ruins attached to the farmhouse. It's still a working farm these days (so unfortunately dogs are not permitted on site) and it’s a highly peaceful spot for a bit of rural relaxation, with some gorgeous views out over the Cumbria countryside. You may well choose to spend a fair amount of time simply chilling out on site, but if you do feel like heading out, you’ll be pleased to hear that this is a very handy base for all sorts of outings around the northern part of the Lake District, including trips to Ullswater, Skiddaw, Keswick and Penrith. It's also easily accessible from the M6 (about 15 minutes away), making journeys in and out nice and straightforward. Each of the pods sleeps up to two adults and two children (in a double bed and sofa bed), and also has its own ensuite bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. Outside on the deck, a charcoal barbecue, firepit, outdoor seating and picnic table should help you make the most of your time out in the fresh air, taking in the views by day and the starry skies by night.

Local attractions

You won't have to travel far if you fancy a day out – the historic Hutton-in-the-Forest is only five minutes’ drive away for a tour of the house, a woodland walk and a wander around the walled gardens (followed by a tasty slice of cake in the tearooms). If historic estates or garden tours are your thing, you’ll also want to check out Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens (15 minutes’ drive) and Lowther Castle & Gardens (20 minutes). Meanwhile, if you’ve got kids to entertain, you may find the likes of Walby Farm Park (half an hour) and the exhibits or cinema showings at Rheged (15 minutes). And of course you’ll want to venture into the Lake District National Park at some point too, whether you’re here to scale Skiddaw and Helvellyn (both 35 minutes), see Aira Force waterfall (25 minutes) or take to the lake at Ullswater (25 minutes) for a boat trip or watersports day.
