Stayed this weekend for 2 nights. The owner is so accommodating, he couldn't do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Special touches of wine, biscuits, cereal, tea, coffee and milk - all complementary. The pod was immaculate, would definitely recommend.

Stayed for 2 nights in the pod between Christmas and New Year with our 5 year old & 3 year old. Mark the owner couldn't do enough for us. When we arrived, the hot tub was already heating up and he let us know when it would be ready. The next night, we couldn't work out how to heat the hot tub and straight away he helped us and got it ready for us again. A nice welcome pack that included biscuits, a wine bottle in the fridge and some milk. He told us about a few takeaways and pubs in the area, as well as various walks (we couldn't do any as the weather was awful, which he apologised for). The pod itself was very clean and cosy. We thought we'd have a problem keeping warm inside the pod and getting cold at night, especially as it's middle of winter, but we were wrong. A lovely little heater in the pod kept it nice and toasty. The pod had everything we needed in it. Despite the awful weather, we had such a good time. The campsite is very peaceful, even though it looked busy. We will hopefully be returning again in the future.
Really great stay

The pod itself is very spacious and nicely decorated. The bedsheets were so soft, it was like sleeping in a cloud. Mike, the owner, was so lovely and had already started heating the wood burner hot tub before we arrived, and again the following day when we went out. Stunning views and just an overall amazing stay.

I took my boyfriend to the glamping pod for the weekend for his birthday and it was absolutely stunning. We were checked in really quickly and the hot tub was already ready to go when we arrived at 6pm. The pod itself was so incredibly clean and felt like a home away from home. We were able to invite a couple of friends to have a BBQ too. The pod is very close to Coniston and not too far of a drive from Windermere too. Milk, a welcome basket with tea and coffee and biscuits and a bottle of wine were all provided. Towels, robes and all the essentials for a comfortable stay allowed us to truly relax. The staff were all lovely and helped us to keep the logs burning for the hot tub. Would definitely recommend and hopefully be back soon!

This was an absolutely stunning place to stay and location. The views from the pod were gorgeous. It was so peaceful and private. They pre heated the hot tub for us and found a bottle of wine in the fridge left by the lovely people who run the Church House Inn. We will be back!

Celebratory stop for my 26th birthday and couldn't find a fault in our stay if we tried! The hot tub (wood fire) was already warm on arrival and there was a cold bottle of wine in the fridge. The pod was clean and cosy with all the amenities you could need for a few nights away. The site is across from a pub/deli that serves meals throughout the day and is less than an hours walk from Coniston, maybe 20 minutes from Coniston Water. Was the best stay away I've had for a long time - we hope to be back!
Fantastic place!

A beautiful Glamping pod along with the hot tub. The pod looks even bigger in person! Was welcomed by a lovely woman who left us with a nice bottle of wine, biscuits and 2x boxes of cereal for the morning. A lovely quiet area with friendly people. Also recommend the pub called The Wilson across the road for a nice pint and meal. Only a 7 minute drive to Coniston, which is a lovely village. Will definitely be returning!

We had a lovely 3 night stay in the glamping pod at the Church House Inn! Mark was very welcoming, making sure the hot tub was heated in time for our arrival, and providing a great welcome basket including a bottle of wine. He was happy to help with any advice in terms of walks and eating out, and was quick to respond whenever we had any queries. The pod itself was spacious and well equipped, with bath robes provided for the hot tub being a nice touch. Despite there being a number of caravans on the site, the glamping pod itself felt private and secluded. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back soon!

Lovely stay. The location is really good, a really lovely area with lots of walks nearby and you can walk to Conniston water in about 15 minutes. The pod itself was lovely, warm, well equipped and we were even left biccies, milk and wine on arrival. It was clean and the hot tub was nice. My only gripe was the sofa bed really needs replacing as it's sooo creaky and has a big dip at one end. But otherwise absolutely lovely and we would go again

Spacious glamping pod for 2 adults and the dog. Comfortable bed on a very peaceful site. Nice little touches included a bottle of wine, milk and biscuits, coffee and tea. Log fired hot tub was as warm as the welcome. A 3 mile walk to Coniston along the lake is a must. Defo back for another visit 👍

We had a fantastic stay in the glamping pod. The hosts were very attentive and heated up the hot tub prior to us arriving, to ensure we could use it when we wished. The hot tub felt brand new and very clean, it really made our stay. The location is perfect as a base for walks (we walked up Old Man Coniston) and has a local pub which does great food. The accommodation was really clean and tidy, with little extras such as a bottle of wine left in the fridge for us. I really could not fault this stay and would encourage others to book and stay. We only stayed 2 nights but I could definitely stay longer as there is so much to do in the surrounding area if you like hiking, small villages and tourist attractions.
Outstanding accommodation

Just completed a 5 night stay during half term with my 17 year old son and our dog. We used this as a base for daily walking excursions and it was ideal. The pod is brilliantly equipped and housed in its own fenced off gravel area, so great with a dog. The owner, Mark, was friendly and could not do enough for us, he even had the hot tub going when we arrived. Complimentary bottle of wine and biscuits on arrival was a really nice touch also. I would highly recommend this location to others.

We had a wonderful stay in the glamping pod, it was exactly as described. Wine, cereal and biscuits left for us which was a really nice gesture and the owner couldn't do enough for us, adding wood to the hot tub burner.
Wonderful stay!

A wonderful little glamping pod I booked for my partner's birthday! Not too far a walk from Coniston so plenty to see and do, especially if you're an outdoor lover! Mark was really helpful and attentive to our needs and happy to bring us more wood for the hot tub if we needed it! Definitely recommend for those who like a little getaway but with some comforts of home still. Thanks again!

Perfect weekend getaway. Arrived Friday around 4pm, got straight in no fuss! Clean, warm pod with special little touches of a bottle of wine and some fresh milk and a pack of biscuits! They had the hot tub loaded with wood and was just coming to the right temp as we arrived. While we were out on the Saturday, they got it going and kept popping down while we were out, adding the wood so it was perfect temp after a long walk!! Lovely people, right friendly. Pointed us in the right direction for walks. Couldn't fault it at all, would definitely go back. Great price, defo value for money and in a great location. Thanks 😊

We've just returned from our stay at the glamping pod, it was spacious enough even for the 2 of us plus our baby and dog. It was very clean, and the bed was comfortable unlike some of the plastic mattresses you often get in glamping pods. The shower was hot and we had what we needed to cook breakfast and feed our baby each day. The site was very private, away from the world it seemed and the hot tub was fantastic. Julie looked after us throughout our stay, we were given wine, tea, coffee, milk and very tasty ginger biscuits upon our arrival which was a lovely touch. Julie also lit the tub for us each day so that it was ready for our return from our days out walking. There is a beautiful walk through the bottom of the gate towards Coniston but it isn't accessible all of the way with a pram so we had to turn around (Julie did warn us of this) but the rest of the walk looked nice, through fields and over a stile, it takes you to the Bluebird Cafe. The pub opposite was great, staff very friendly and it's a modernised traditional pub, they offer breakfast at the adjoined cafe and the food was great for lunch and an evening meal. The only downside to the pod was that there weren't any places to store your clothes but we still managed and I'm sure most would bring less than we did for the 4 of us.

The hosts were so accommodating and really friendly! They ensured we were stocked up with plenty of wood for the hot tub throughout our stay! Thank you, we will definitely be back!

Myself, partner and our dog stayed at the glamping pod and what can I say, it was just perfect. The pod itself was cosy yet spacious, clean and well-equipped. The hot tub was FABULOUS and the space outside was great for our pooch as it's enclosed, so he could run around without us worrying he would get out. Mark the host was amazing, kept us topped up with wood for the fire and hot tub, was there for anything we needed and was generally a really lovely guy. It is only a 30-minute walk down to the shoreline of Coniston down the Cumbrian Way and has a lovely pub in the village too. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back again!
