Glamping Cabin - Ensuite Glamping CabinsSep 2024

We recently stayed at the glamping cabin (2 adults and 3 children) and the accommodation was beyond expectations and more than enough amenities for us as a family. The staff were also amazing, really helpful and accommodating and made us feel so welcome. The site itself is situated in a great location for all local attractions and family walks and just a short walk along the shore of the lake into Coniston. Great local pub also just a short walk away serving a great selection of drinks and food.
