We had a lovely stay at Wallsend Glamping Pods. The site was nice and quiet and the pods were lovely and clean with all essential items included. The area is very quiet so it's definitely a place to go and relax. Check in was easy too. Barry was great and came to meet us, he showed us around and how to use the hot tub, which was great. The hot tub was a lovely extra and is more similar to a hot bath outside, which was nice as you don't get the noise of a usual hot tub. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend to people wanting a quiet few days away.

Stayed in Pickhill and had a lovely and relaxing weekend for boyfriend's birthday. The pod was cosy, warm and clean. Enjoyed the hot tub was very relaxing and could see all the stars, seen some shooting stars! Went for a meal at The King's Arms, which is just down the road from the pod - had an amazing meal! Ordered takeout the next night from the Garrison Bistro, next to The King's Arms, which was great! Spent the rest of the weekend at Carlisle Castle and town, which is just a short drive away from the pod. Would definitely stay again.

Was a lovely stay. Took a while for lodge to warm up inside but other than that, the facilities were fine. We were disappointed with the hot tub as couldn't get it hot, think going forward they should be pre-lit warming for guest's arrival.

Thank you for the feedback. The pod has under flooring heating, it is very instant and very cozy. Regarding the hot tub, if you brought to our attention at any stage of your stay, we would have provided guidance.

This pod was really clean and warm, everything was easy accessible, the local area was fantastic. The hot tub was good once we figured out how to work it properly. the only thing I would say is if you like sleeping with two pillows, take some with you. Not sure if we could of asked for some but it was definitely needed. The pod is located about 40/60 minutes away from the Sill, which is a car park that is within a stone's throw away from Hadrian's Wall. It's close to Carlisle which has a really cool castle and military museum. The King's Arms Inn (that is 5 minutes of a walk from the pod) is friendly and warm and sells some really good food. Would recommend and stay again

Hi Kieran, Thank you for taking the time to post a review we very much appreciate the feedback. I'm 100% sure I gave you a basic run through regarding the hot tub, best endeavours we do for every guest on arrival. They are, by nature, a facility that you have to engage with. We only provide two pillows (you should have asked as we would have provided two extra) and it is difficult to cover everyone's individual need. The majority of guests bring what they feel they need for a self catering stay. Also, we have additional charges for housekeeping for extra pillows to consider.

We stayed in the Acremire pod having travelled up late on Friday night. Barry was extremely attentive although we missed our check in time. We were shown our pod and given instructions on how to work the hot tub. The pod was beautifully designed and once we figured out how to use the hot tub it was a lovely addition! We would definitely recommend this for a romantic weekend away for two.

Beautiful location, very clean and comfy pods. We have had a lovely break, thank you. It is quite a long distance to the nearest shop so do recommend being well prepared if you come, especially with little kids 🙂

They certainly put the glam in glamping. The pod had everything we needed, it was super comfy and spotlessly clean. The site was peaceful. Barry greeted us and explained everything, saying he and his wife were on hand if we needed anything. We booked the hot tub for use during our stay. We had difficulty keeping it alight so only got to use it once, in not very warm water, but that's probably down to us not being au fait with a log-burning tub system. I'd definitely recommend Wallsend to all. If we revisit the area, I'd definitely stay there again. As a result of this stay, I am a glamping convert. I just hope all other sites are as great as Wallsend.

Thank you Alison for the kind review and feedback. The wood burning hot tub in its design does need the time to manage it to temperature. But hopefully your next stay it would not put you off using one again, it does get easier :)

I'm so impressed! I have never stayed in a glamping pod before and I would definitely stay again. It has all the necessities you would need for a couple of days away. Just a short walk away you can see the coast and lots of cows which was lovely to do in the evening. Thank you again to Barry and Michelle!

Pods were really well equipped and exceptionally clean. The site was really well kept and set in a beautiful location. The kids were safe and loved having the space to play in. There are some lovely walks and the local pub and bistro served really lovely food. We went into Siloth one day which is a lovely location for children and only about 30 mins drive from the site itself.
