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.

“First time in a glamping pod and won't be the last, really enjoyed to experience. Good communication from the owners, even sent us an e-mail to notify us one of the nearby pubs/restaurants would be shut during our visit, however there was another gastro pub about two miles away, so wasn't really an issue. The pod itself was easy to find, very clean, comfortable and wanted for nothing. The actual site was in a lovely position and the pod we booked was private. Overall we had a great time and would certainly book again.”

“What can I say, the pod was spotless! It had everything you could want or need for a family. Clean sheets, towels, plenty of cleaning products and every utensil you could want. Milk and butter provided, with an extra touch of chocolate and shortbread was lovely. Pod was warm and the location was exceptionally quiet within driving distance of both Kendal and Windermere. Will definately be rebooking!!”

“First time in the Pig Pod and had a great few days. Everything was clean, tidy and functional. The pod was surprisingly comfortable and had sufficient facilities for 2 adults and a 10 year old to have a really enjoyable break. Would recommend to others.”

“Brilliant little pod for a week in the lakes. The owners have literally thought of everything. Unlike some glamping experiences you tend to have to bring a few bits ( washing up liquid, fire lighters, tea towels, tuperwear etc.) not here though! just turn up with you clothes for the week. The little touches were really appreciated, you can tell the owners want you to enjoy everything. My kids loved being on a working farm, seeing the cows come in early and go out, and the horses and sheep in the field. Loved the fact it’s a small site, and the landscaping around the pods, with the fire pit, patio and picnic bench makes it feel very ‘glam’ping. We will be back !”
