The Pods by the Stream at Flakebridge Farm

Lovely pods, well fitted out and very clean. Had everything needed for our stay. Hot tub was brilliant, especially as the friendly owners ensured it was ready for returning to after a day out. Thank you for making our stay here so enjoyable. Quiet location and only a short distance from Kirkby Stephen.

Absolutely everything, Emma and Andrew have thought of everything within the pod. It was perfect in every way and we are already looking at dates to return

Nothing!

We have just returned from a wonderful 2 night stay, the pod was immaculate, the setting is beautiful, so peaceful and Emma the owner is lovely, nothing is too much trouble. I contacted Emma before we arrived asking about recommendations for during our stay, Emma was so helpful, every single detail has been thought of.
Everything about our stay was perfect, we’ll definitely be back.

I organised to stay here for a surprise birthday and we all absolutely loved it.

The pod is very spacious, well thought out and has all the amenities you'll need to accommodate a comfortable relaxing stay.

on arrival we were met with a beautiful view and a cheeky little pony who was rather crazy to say to least lol.

Our welcome package was amazing, prosecco, lots of little treats and the homemade aero cakes and oaty biscuits were to die for 😋
the birthday banner was a very nice touch also and made all the difference.

The log fuelled hot tub was outstanding, we'd nipped out for the day in town and we arrived back only too find the thoughtfull owners had refuelled it and got the temps spot on, ready for us to just jump in saves us having to wait, it's the little things that count.

Everything was done to a very high standard and well thought out and although the weather was terrible it did not stop us all from throughly enjoying ourselves.

The owners couldn't of been more helpfull, nothing was too much trouble and they even had their young and very polite son in on helping too, he delivered fresh wood as an when we needed it and with a smile too.

we were asked to comment on anything we believed could have been improved to better our stay and we racked our brains and came up with 3 ideas we believe would make the stay even more magical than it already is.

1: better lighting on the outside for when your chilling at night in the hot tub

2: a canopy over the seating area should we get the lovely showers the British weather has to offer

3: a storage cupboard under the counter to hide away all your bags because I'm a little ocd 🤣

other than that I think this couple has nailed it with what they are doing with the place and I believe they will go far should they keep up their high standards.

we highly reccomend this place to families or couples who want a lovely relaxing stay, we will definiately be returning especially for the biscuits lol x

Everything! Such a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the scenery from the hot tub 😍

Nothing

Would highly recommend. Just had the most amazing 2 night stay at the Rivendell pod. We were greeted by Emma on arrival which was lovely and anything we needed they were on hand to help with. The pod itself was immaculate and the welcome pack was such a lovely touch. My little boy absolutely loved the hot tub and it was at the perfect temperature ready for us to use on arrival and kept at that so it was ready to use when we arrived back after days out. The only downside was that we didn’t book for longer. Will definitely return.

Myself and my 3 boys travelled from Kent for a 2 night stay and it did not disappoint, beautiful pod, a welcome hamper and jubilee cupcakes, Emma greeted us on arrival which was lovely, hot tub ready so we could use straight away, it had everything we needed for a relaxing, peaceful break. Lovely little personal touches made our stay perfect and we will be booking again. The kids loved seeing the animals and roaming the field me with them, they also loved playing in the stream! Amazing from start to finish! Thankyou ❤️

We stayed for 2 nights and my 3 girls enjoyed every minute of it. Emma and Andrew were great very welcoming and would do anything for you. The POD itself was stunning . We had a wood fired hot tub which the girls loved a beautiful welcome box which contained biscuits, crisps, marshmallows and a couple of beers. If your looking to stay over in Penrith I would highly recommend this little place.
