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.

“Like a home from home. Lovely and relaxing. Would have been great to have a curtain maybe to separate the bunks from the main sleeping area. But other than that we loved it and had a great stay. Great location for exploring Windermere, we did Bowness one day and then off up to Ambleside and Hill Top at Near Sawrey the next. Really great time had. Great facilities”

“Fabulous stay in the Pig Pod. terrific location- so peaceful and my kids loved seeing all the animals wandering around the farm. The pod itself had everything we could have wanted during our stay and so many nice touches such as chocolates and home baked biscuits really gave the stay a 'special' feel. The kids loved the bunk beds and made it feel like a little adventure. We all enjoyed the evenings sat around the fire pit savouring the peace and quiet which is quite something with a 6 and 7 year old. Highly recommend - we enjoyed it so much we are looking to go back.”

“Fantastic holiday-thank you! The pod was more spacious than I expected, the views were stunning and your welcome was warm. A particularly big thank you for showing the kids around the dairy so they could see the cows being milked! We hope to back soon.”

“Love where it is situated very private and onlooks hills in a farm. Very clean and new, everything you need in the pod. Kendal is 13 mins drive and Windermere 20 mins so close to days out, restaurants and supermarkets. Lots of nice pubs near by too!”

“We booked the Pig Pod for a three day break. On arrival we found the pod to be spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything we needed, including a cold beer in the fridge! The site is lovely and quiet, which is perfect when sat out with a glass of wine next to the fire pit. Jane (the owner) is rightly proud of the pods and her attention to detail clearly shows. We can't recommend the Pig Pod highly enough, it's a real gem. We'll be back!”

“We’ve just come back from a 4 night stay in the Pig Pod. It’s a truly special place. So well thought out with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is lovely & quiet but you’re still only a half hour drive away from Windermere. The Black Labrador pub was a few minutes walk away & well worth a visit. We had lovely sunny evenings cooking over the fire pit & toasting marshmallows. We’ll definitely visit again :)”
