A note from the site themselves...
We have always been lovers of the outdoors and outdoor living. Fuelled by this, in 2008 we decided to set up our glamping site with just two 18ft yurts in the heart of the Lake District.
Since then, we have slowly grown the business to now have four different locations across the national park. We absolutely love what we do and look forward to growing and continuing to welcome guests, both old and new. We hope to see you soon, John
A beautifully furnished 18ft yurt with double bed and four single luxury futons, all with extra thick mattresses and bedding included. Optional electric is available. Outside is seating, and a campfire circle. Shared facilities nearby. Sorry, no pets.

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

Yurt - Bilberry Yurt (Pet Friendly)Jun 2023
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.
Brilliant yurts

Yurt - Bilberry Yurt (Pet Friendly)Jun 2023
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.
