About the site


If you are searching for a relaxing escape surrounded by glorious walking country, look no further than this adult only hideaway. Set in Wigton in the northern part of the Lake District National Park, there is no better spot for days of walking, cycling or simply unwinding and admiring the views. Each of the glamping pods sleeps up to two guests with a luxury ensuite shower room, large flatscreen TV, electric and lighting. Both Carrock View and Carrock Sunset come with a cosy double bedroom and a mini kitchen with an electric hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery, utensils and a fridge with a freezer compartment. The slightly larger, Carrock Squirrel comes with a king size bed which sits in the centre of the open plan pod. This pod also features a galley style kitchen with the addition of Bluetooth speakers for playing your favourite music. All of the pods feature a comfy sofa, along with a dining table and chairs for enjoying the vistas, even if the weather turns.

When the sun is shining, your outdoor area is the perfect place to spend time. Each pod has its own private veranda with a picnic bench and fire pit with a grill. You will also have a gas BBQ for cooking up something delicious, along with a hot tub, the perfect place for star gazing! Please note, the site is pet free.

Glamping Pod - Carrock View Ensuite Glamping Pod With Hot TubApr 2025

Brilliant location if you're wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle, stunning views. We went for our 10 year anniversary. The pod was immaculate and the facilities were great. We also went walking and a drive into Keswick which is about half an hour away. Not a bad word to say. David was very accommodating and a lovely guy. Highly recommend 👍🏼
