About the site


This small and peaceful glamping site is set on a working farm in Cumbria's Eden Valley. There is a welcoming pub in the pretty village of Winton just a 15 minute walk away, with plenty of shops in the market town of Kirkby Stephen, a five minute drive from the site. There are three glamping pods, each sleeping up to four in a double bed and double sofa bed with bedding provided. To keep you nice and cosy, there is underfloor heating too. For cooking, you'll have an equipped kitchen with a hob, fridge, air fryer, microwave, kettle and toaster. There is also a small dining table for meals together. A modern ensuite bathroom includes a flushing toilet, hand basin, powerful shower and towels. Step outside, and you will find a seating area, separated by small brick walls for privacy. You can even opt for a private wood-fired hot tub for the ultimate luxury evening! Bringing the kids? There is a large paddock adjacent to the pods equipped with goal posts for a kick about with a ball and enough space for family games. Should the weather turn, indoor toys and classic board games are free to use. Though self catering, fresh eggs are sold onsite, and you can kickstart the day further with a Cumbrian Breakfast (for a small charge) using produce from neighbouring farms and local bakeries, with dinner BBQ packs available. If you're into al fresco cooking, there are fire pits for hire. Dogs are welcome in Ryeland and Valais too, with up to two pups allowed per pod. Leicester is pet free.

Gillcumber Glamping Pods is open all year round.
