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 arrived at the pig pod march this year for my 40th birthday with my husband, daughters and dog mollie. We were absolutely overwhelmed at the surroundings, really loved that it was a working farm, beautiful surroundings and not to mention the pod itself. In the pod we were so happy to find balloons, fizz and much more fabulous things to contribute to the stay. The essentials they'd left for us were excellent and wasn't expected, everything you could possibly need they'd thought of. Very clean too, which is a must for me, I felt so comfortable I wish we'd of stayed for longer. Thank you for everything Debs, Jane and mark, you really made my little family happy! Oh, and most importantly, 10 mins stroll to the local pub! Well definitely book again. Vicky & Shaun!”

“Stayed here for a weekend winter break - first time in the area. The Pig Pod had everything we needed as a family of 3 and it is dog friendly too. The extras provided in the welcome pack were much appreciated - it was a lovely cosy space to relax and a great base for exploring the surrounding areas. Would definitely come back again...”

“The pig pod is a perfect camping pod. It’s location is quiet, rural, with beautiful views but only 10 minute drive from all the amenities of Kendal. The pod is warm, cosy, beautifully set up with everything you need and the owners even leave bread/milk/butter/OJ/chocolate/tea & coffee. I will definitely return.”

“My husband, 7 year old daughter and I stayed at The Pig Pod for two nights at the beginning of September. It was our first time Glamping and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience. The Pod was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with a surprising amount of space. Our daughter loved the cosy bunkbeds and having her own area of the pod. The setting was peaceful and a perfect escape. We will definitely be back!”
