Number 7 pod with it's very own hot tub. the fairy lights at night add that romantic touch.

  • Off-grid camping pods in a rural spot with gorgeous Solway Firth views
  • Five minutes’ drive to North Lakeland fells; 30 minutes to Keswick
  • Well-equipped pods with stoves; shared spa hot tub and LPG showers
On the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park, Cherry Trees Farm Campsite offers a couple of wooden camping pods with spectacular views over the Solway coast and the North Lakeland fells. This is a fab base for anyone wanting to explore the peaceful and beautiful county of Cumbria on foot or by bike. Surprisingly, considering its remote vibe, Cherry Trees is only 15 minutes’ drive from the M6, and the historic villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket (both 10 minutes) are packed with pubs and village stores to keep you fed and watered. Although the location is very rural, there’s masses and masses to do hereabouts, from walking the fells to wild swimming on the Solway Firth (35 minutes), horse riding and golf. If you want to up the pace, there are ziplines at Honister Slate Mine (50 minutes), and if the weather turns, sporty types can stay active at swimming pools and leisure centres (both 20 minutes). Back at base, the natty wooden pods are sited on the edge of a traditional hay meadow, and each is fully equipped to sleep two people – all bedding, towels, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are provided so you don't have to bother bringing everything from home. Facilities include your own LPG-fired shower and compostable loo, a small kitchen area with a gas stove and a sink with hot and cold running water. On top of that, a major-league bonus is the use of a private hot tub included in the price of each pod – there's no better way to relax after a day out on the fells.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Easy to find. Alan was a nice chap.

Disliked: As soon as it went dark it was pitch black, no lighting whatsoever. The field leading to the toilet block was all soggy and although planks of wood were put down they ended up wet and slippery. The light in the toilet lasted about 5 seconds, not even long enough to get in the toilet and close the door, having to hold a torch at the same time as using the toilet was fun 🤣 Lots of dogs off lead at all times which is a bit annoying when they just wander around other people's tents.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great value, simple, low budget site. Lovely big field, flat and decent ground considering the recent rains. Simple facilities with a make do and mend approach but very clean, well maintained and perfect for what we needed at our budget. Hot water for washing and clean drinking water. Quiet with nice, respectful campers.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Alan (the owner) was very accommodating, friendly, approachable, and helpful. The vibe was chilled and the site was really quiet. The views are outstanding and there are various walks around. There were toilets, showers, an outside washing area, and drinking tap, which for the price was incredibly reasonable! There were 3 families whose dogs were roaming around off-lead and Alan dealt with this in a friendly yet, firm manner. I will definitely be returning, but as I have 2 young children I will probably wait until there isn't a weather warning for wind next time!

Disliked: Nothing
