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.

The pod itself is very roomy. We have stayed in a few different styles of glamping pod, including shepherds huts and are used to quite small bathroom/shower spaces but the bathroom in the pod was very big and spacious which was a nice surprise! We stayed over a stormy weekend in January and so were able to make good use of the heating, which worked really well and we didn’t struggle to stay warm at all. We also enjoyed that we could change the temperature on the heating in the pod (again, not something we are used to). The kitchen facilities were basic but enough for what we needed and the fridge was a decent size for storing food. We ate out so didn’t use the oven but did have a look and again, nice and big enough to make a good size dinner. The location was perfect for travelling between areas and with Blencathra so close it made a very quick journey for a lovely hike. Would definitely recommend and we would be willing to book again.

We enjoyed our stay in the Huia pod and found it to be spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The bathroom and shower cubicle were a good size and offered plenty of room to move around and L shaped sofa in the seating area was great for relaxing. The pod was really clean and is set in a quiet location with a lovely view. We ate out in Penrith (Grant's at Castlegate has excellent desserts).
