Had a lovely few days at Kestral lodge in one of their Yurts. Had everything we could have needed. They even made sure that the weather was amazing while we were there. Would definitely recommend it. The chickens were very cheeky but funny to watch, they kept on eating the dog food. We have chickens at home so the dogs didn't bat an eyelid.
Highly recommend

Amazing stay, perfect location and the yurt was lovely. All clean and everything there you need. Definitely recommend paying for the electric and hook up as included. Site is quiet, it was full and everyone was lovely and chatty. Everything you need, a little shop and honesty boxes for everything you need when the shop is unavailable. Always someone on site available to help and they honestly can't help you enough. The location was fab for walks etc and the ladies at the shop are helpful in directing you to where you need to be. Was tricky to find at first, but if you put the Sun Inn in the sat nav it's way easier. The directions are better followed on the website rather than sat nav. We loved our stay and didn't want to come home, we plan on returning and may even try camping. Thank you so much for a perfect weekend.

First time glamping and I was pleasantly surprised. Yurts were spacious enough they were complete with gas hobs, kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies and a wood burner (which we definitely used at night as it does get cold). Outside we had a BBQ, fire pit so plenty of options for cooking your own food. Seating provided outside each yurt so we didn't need to bring our own. The park itself was lovely and clean, very quiet. Brill toilet/shower and cleaning facilities. Loved the small honest shop very handy for little bits. The kids loved the open space and the couple bits of play bits at the bottom field.

Things to do on site and in the Keswick area
In driving distance are six of Cumbria's classic lakes, so you can find out what makes the Lake District special with a spot of dining alfresco by the water, lakeside walks and bike rides. Bassenthwaite is ten minutes, Derwentwater is 15 and Thirlmere is 20 minutes.
And since you didn't come to the Lakes to spend all your time on land, the opportunities for water sports are endless. The area boasts wild swimming spots, paddle boarding, canoeing and even kayaking.
No holiday in the Lake District National Park would be complete without some spectacular walks, and you can get nine Wainrights under your belt, all while staying in the local area.
