Swaledale Shelter camping pod

Liked: We had such a lovely time. The pod is cosy and comfortable and in a picturesque and peaceful setting. We were given a tour of the farm and got to meet their friendly prize sheep and even stroke an emu. We're hoping to return. My daughter loved the playground.

Herdwick Hideaway camping pod

Liked: The pods were amazing. Well equipped clean and modern. Perfect outdoor area for bbqs. Also liked we could use the communal cabin on site.

Disliked: Would have preferred the decongest area to have a gate so the dogs couldn’t get out.

Herdwick Hideaway camping pod

Liked: Had a fantastic stay at Strudda Bank Farm Glamping pods, the location is wonderful and the pods are brilliant! The owners really have thought of everything you could possibly need for a fantastic stay. Loved meeting the owners of the site and having the opportunity to feed the emu's and collect hens eggs. Also really enjoyed a couple of local walks.

Swaledale Shelter camping pod

Liked: Gorgeous pod with absolutely everything you need. Brilliant play area for the kids and was lovely to let them roam free and safe on the site. Pod was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Farmer kev showed us the emus and hens and even gave us some eggs for breakfast in the morning ! We had a slight issue with the toilet but text Vicky who had sorted it by the time we came back from a trip out . Thank you so much for a lovely stay x

Disliked: Bit of a drive to the nearest shop but our intention was to be remote and enjoy the countryside and that’s what we did :)

Swaledale Shelter camping pod

Liked: Peace and quiet at the pod was brilliant, the extra investment in underfloor heating and little creature comforts like a full set of pots and pans is a really nice touch. I'd really recommend this place to people looking for a quiet spot away from the noise.

Local attractions

You can start exploring the Lake District right from the farm gates – walking trails take you out for riverside strolls or walks through the Calder Valley’s ancient oak woods. Calder Abbey and Monks Bridge packhorse bridge are among the historic structures you might find as you wander. ​ Elsewhere in the Lake District, explore its deepest lake, Wast Water and its highest peak, Scafell Pike (both half an hour’s drive). For other ways to explore, there’s a horse riding centre 15 minutes’ drive away or you could take a ride on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (known locally as La’al Ratty) 20 minutes away. ​For a change of scenery, head to the coast for a day at Seascale beach (15 minutes’ drive) or try St Bees (20 minutes) where you can walk to the top of St Bees Head before cooling off with an ice cream on the beach. Muncaster Castle (20 minutes) and Whitehaven’s harbour and Rum Story (25 minutes) are worth a trip too.
