One of three identical glamping pods situated on a farm in the heart of the Lake District National Park. The farm is positioned atop a hill with fabulous views in all directions, including views of Blencathra, one of the Lake District's most renowned peaks and the Pennines.

The modern insulated Pods have been installed to maximise the views, whether inside or outside, on the wooden decking. Inside, the pod has been furnished with quality items, including comfy sofas, a king-size double bed and a modern kitchen area with an electric hob. You'll have no trouble cooking a meal for two on the nights you're not visiting the local eateries in Keswick, Pooley Bridge or, indeed, Penrith, all just a short drive away.

The shower room is spacious. There's no bath; instead, a large shower cubicle with a main-plumbed rain shower head and towels are provided for guests.

In the living area of the pod, you have a comfy L-shaped sofa and a wall-mounted Freesat TV. If you fancy a few tunes, you'll love the built-in Bluetooth music system and the colour-changing LED lighting!

Coast2Coast Accommodation
The Pods are ideally situated on the C2C cycle route. Secure bicycle storage is available, and one-night stays are allowed, so please look no further if you're looking for coast2coast accommodation on the first leg of the journey!

Other properties on Whitbarrow Farm: Kiwi Pod, Tui Pod, Pūkeko Pod, Huia Pod, Mangahei Bungalow, Cross Fell Static Caravan & Pennine View Static Caravan.

We have stayed in a lot of different pods and this was by far the best! Very warm, cosey, spacious and well equipped. Very handy modern touches including the in built sound system. The pod is in a very quiet area with wonderful views! And only a 10/15 min drive from Keswick and Ullswater, so lots of good walks nearby. Also a very nice farm shop and cafe just down the road! Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay in the Kiwi pod for my birthday, it was really clean, cosy and had beautiful views. Only thing I would warn people about is the bench was under the dining table so when I pulled the table out the bench underneath fell on my foot (lucky I didn’t break it but was very painful for days). Other than this lovely stay and would recommend, very good value for money.

We had a lovely stay at Whitbarrow Farm despite awful weather we stayed nice and toasty in the pod. Great location-dead close to Penrith for supermarkets and Keswick as well.
