Stayed for 2 nights in a pod which had its own facilities. Pod was extremely well designed with a small kitchen, good sized sofa, double bed and small dining table with 2 chairs. The kitchen had enough crockery, cutlery and glasses for 4 people. Outside was a table and chairs and fire pit. The starter pack for the firepit was enough for the 2 nights and while we didn't have the hot tub, our neighbours did and they looked like they were enjoying it. The Campsite was immaculately kept and we had a few free roaming chickens saying hello. You can buy fresh eggs from the site too. Short walk into the village for a pub, shop, chippy and cafe / tea rooms. We did use the pub and the food was excellent. They do suggest you book. The pods are arranged on the site to make the best of the view. It is a stunning view and we were blessed with good weather. There is also a host of information in the pod in relation to walks. Overall an excellent base for a few days in the lakes. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely newly refurbished pod with hot tub

We stayed in Owl Lodge, which is newly refurbished and it was immaculate. The hot tub was easy to use and had a lovely secluded feel due to the layout of the site. The owners were very helpful and recommended local places to visit and eat, which we did try and thoroughly enjoyed. We would recommend to friends and will definitely be booking again.
