Outdoor breaks in cumbria
Pods area

Can't decide whether to stay in England or Scotland? This small-scale pub glamping site in the far north of Cumbria could be a good compromise. Located on the southern side of the river Esk, here you can sleep in England and wake up to scenic views over the Scottish Southern Uplands on the other side of the water. These pods come equipped with comfy beds, with all bedding included. In addition, two chairs, a coffee table, battery-operated lights and outdoor decking with chairs and tables are provided, making Metal Bridge Pods an excellent and self-contained spot to stay for couples on the start of a cross-border road trip (or as a base for day trips in both countries). Other handy features included diesel-powered heaters to keep you toasty at night and chargers to make sure your phone is never low on juice. Toilets are shared in a smart loo block, with free showers available in a well-maintained bathroom inside the pub. The pub is just across the field for refreshing drinks and tasty food, with relaxing views over the water available if you're sitting in the restaurant area. Metal Bridge's closest amenities are in Scotland, with Gretna's shops, pubs and takeaways an easy five-minute drive away over the river. Carlisle (20 minutes' drive) is also close by, though, and Newcastle (just over an hour) is surprisingly easy to reach too if you fancy a day out to a bigger city.

Campingpod (tweepersoonsbed)

Ik was blij met Location next to the M6, very basic pod which is perfect for a quick stop over. Easy check in and the pub is fine for a drink and food is reasonably priced.

Ik was niet blij met Location next the M6, very noisy at night, diesel heater and car battery setup it a little concerning with dogs in the pod, toilets showers etc need some TLC.

Campingpod (tweepersoonsbed)

Ik was blij met Could not have been easier upon our arrival. Details were text through to me with everything I needed to know. The pod was very clean, well appointed with a very comfy mattress. Good communication throughout our stay with Lisa made for a really pleasant experience. The price is very reasonable and the facilities were clean and well maintained. Plans to update the shower block will be a great benefit to the site. But regardless we will be returning for another stay soon.

Ik was blij met Friendly staff. Had a number to use if we had any issues which was answered straightaway. Roger helped us with a problem in our pod. He also was there to open up for the showers. Couldn’t fault the services available.

Ik was niet blij met Noise from the road kept us awake.

Ik was blij met Clean inside. Good for overnight stay close to the M6. The cost was fair and we had a lovely evening meal at the pub. All in good value for money.

It’s pretty much a Transit campsite for a quick overnight stop.

Campingpod (tweepersoonsbed)

Ik was blij met The proximity to the start of our long distance walk as we started the King Charles 111 Coastal path from here and the footpath was at the front of the pod. Bed was very comfortable and the pod was very private to all other campers.

Ik was niet blij met The pod is equipped with a diesel heater which i believe had been filled that day. No need really during a heatwave. Consequently the pod smelled very strongly of diesel. Not sure if some had been spilled during the refill. We tried venting the place by leaving the doors open but once closed the fumes were overpowering. We ended up sleeping with the doors open. Just as well it was June. The pod had a tv in it which wasn’t plugged in and there was no plug socket anywhere just some kind of large battery set up with wires coming off it. Some of which we’re lose and not connected properly to whatever it was they we're connected to. The host did send a man with a small generator to help the situation who explained the previous occupants had broken the only socket in the pod and it had to be removed. We tried the generator but i felt it was too noisy and i was worried about disturbing other site users. We couldn’t get the TV to work anyhow (no batteries in the remote control). We had to use a shower room inside the pub due to no showers available on the site. This was only available at certain times. The shower room was filthy. The shower room had not been cleaned in a long time. The carpet was filthy and the shower cubicle clearly had recently suffered a blockage and been unblocked but the blockage debris had been left in the shower cubicle. I won’t describe what it looked like. We have all seen blockages removed from showers/sinks etc. The campsite does have a toilet block. Toilets only with a small sink in each room. Pretty standard for this type of site. We chose not to eat in the pub so cannot comment on this. We did however sit outside and have a couple of drinks which were very nice and the staff very friendly and pleasant to talk too. The pod overall was very comfortable and we felt was good value for money. Located exactly were we wanted to be. Get rid of the diesel heater. It stinks the place out.

Campingpod (tweepersoonsbed)

Ik was blij met The pod was beautiful the views are gorgeous. The staff are so friendly and helpful! Food was absolutely delicious in the restaurant.

Ik was niet blij met Only thing that was slightly disliked was how loud the diesel heater is, couldn't really have it on late at night as was very loud outside the pod too! But definitely does not damper the place.

Campingpod (tweepersoonsbed)

Ik was blij met We recently stayed in the Metal Bridge glamping pods and had such a lovely experience. The pods were warm, cosy, and very well presented, with everything clean and thoughtfully set up on arrival. They even have solar power, which was great for charging phones and watching a bit of TV in the evening.
We didn’t need to use the diesel heater at all, as the pod stayed perfectly warm—even overnight. It rained on our second day, but we stayed dry, snug, and comfortable the whole time, which really added to the relaxing feel of the stay.
The toilet block is quite basic, but it’s clean and has everything you need for a short stopover. The pub on site was a real highlight—fantastic food at very good value for money.
We’d seen a few comments about motorway noise before arriving, but honestly, we hardly noticed anything. Aside from the occasional train passing, which didn’t disturb us at all, it was peaceful enough that we slept right through until 9am. There can be a slight smell of asphalt at times due to a nearby plant, but it comes and goes with the wind and is completely out of the owners’ control—it certainly didn’t spoil our trip.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Another big bonus for us is that it’s dog-friendly. We have two small dogs, and it’s often difficult to find places that welcome pets and also offer somewhere to eat and drink with them—this place ticks all the boxes.
Overall, it’s a little gem and well worth a visit. We’d highly recommend it and would happily stay again!

Ik was niet blij met Toilet block just needs a lick of paint but this didn’t spoil our trip in the slightest.

Lokale bezienswaardigheden

It's a five-minute drive to the retail park at Gretna Green, where you can also whisk your beloved away to the Anvil Hall, a traditional marriage spot for eloping couples. Heading west through the green countryside of Annandale, you might like to take a trip to Caerlaverock Castle (35 minutes), an impressive triangular fortress from the 13th century that's surrounded by a moat. To discover history and heritage sites on the English side of the river Esk, you could explore Carlisle Castle (20 minutes) or Hadrian's Wall (half an hour), where there are several Roman forts you can visit. Alternatively, keep going south to see the Lake District National Park – Ullswater, the nearest lake, is about 40 minutes from base. If you don't mind a bit longer in the car, head to New Lanark (an hour), a World Heritage Site with historic industrial buildings where you can take spectacular walks out to the Falls of Lanark. Alternatively, head to Newcastle city centre (an hour and 10 minutes) to discover Tyneside's shopping and hospitality.
