The Pig Pod Reviews

4.9 Rating 70 Reviews

The fabulous Pig Pod is designed with families in mind. A modern Glamping Pod complete with underfloor heating, mains electricity and plumbed in facilities plus stunning views overlooking Underbarrow and further to Scout Scar.

Situated within the Lake District National Park, High Gregg Hall Farm in Underbarrow is just 15-minutes drive from Windermere and 10-minutes from Kendal. A 5-minute walk away is the popular Black Labrador Pub, which offers fantastic food and a great choice of ales.

Measuring 3300mm W x 7200mm L x 2850mm, The Pig Pod is similar to the smaller pods apart from the addition of fitted children's bunk beds to the rear. A fantastic option for a relaxing getaway from the busy town or city life. After a day out exploring the Lake District of walking on the fells, return to relax on the patio with a glass of wine, or perhaps a BBQ. The Pig Pod has been expertly-built to provide high-quality furnishings and fittings that will provide for a fantastic stay.

“We were welcomed with biscuits and a chocolate box. It was lovely. Only 4 stars just because it was a bit cold in the cabin at night. It was 17 degrees celsius in the cabin and was a bit too cold for kids. The underfloor heating is locked so we could adjust the temperature of the cabin. It is quite small inside but there is a plenty of space for kids to run about outside. We would love to visit again but hope the weather would be warmer then. Location was amazing.”

“We had the best time here as a family of 3 and our dog. We enjoyed it so much that we wanted to stay another night but unfortunately, it was fully booked. Situated on a lovely working farm within walking distance to The Black Labrador where we had food one evening. Such a great spot to venture out to the lakes and not far at all from Windermere. We were left welcome gifts like biscuits, chocolates and a bottle of Bucks Fizz. The owners also left us milk, orange juice, bread and butter, everything you need for a couple of nights away. We also loved the Nespresso coffee pods as we have the same machine at home. Tea, coffee and sugar is also provided. We managed to get a few bits and pieces from the Asda which is only around a ten minute drive away. We cannot wait to return in the summer, thanks for having us! The Godwins”

“We had a wonderful time staying in the Pig pod. It was extremely comfortable for all and well equipped. Our two children enjoyed sleeping in the bunk beds and also exploring the grounds. The location is fantastic - access to the heart of the lakes is easy. A wonderful stay and will return.”

“The Pig Pod was perfect for our family holiday to the Lakes. Our daughter was so excited to stay in the unique pod and it was extremely clean, well presented and felt very new and fresh. The little touches added, like the sweet treats, and the lovely welcome from Jane on our arrival made the stay all the more wonderful. Thank you! We can’t recommend the Pig Pod enough.”
