This pod is beautifully finished, situated on a working sheep farm surrounded by stunning picture postcard open countryside. In the springtime the lambs are a joy to watch! Threlkeld village is just over a mile away with a couple of lovely country pubs, a cricket pavilion and golf course. Keswick is just 4 miles away, with a good selection of independent shops, restaurants and cafe's. Annually, usually in May or June, Keswick holds the Mountain Festival which is a three day event with world-class sports, outdoor activities, talks and films with live music. Derwentwater is only 12 miles away and offers some great water sport activities or why not visit one of the local distillery's.
Entering the pod, you will find a spacious bright open-plan living area with a sofa and a Smart TV, which will allow you to log into your Netflix Account and enjoy a good film.

Very comfortable accommodation, has all the basics that you need for a few days. Bed was very comfortable. View from the hot tub is absolutely stunning, this one is definitely the best view on the complex. Location is excellent, 10 minute drive to Keswick and Derwent, 20 minute drive the other way to Ullswater. Would recommend the Horse & Farrier for dinner which is just across the road. Excellent food and very welcoming to dogs! Overall would definitely recommend staying here!

A really lovely cabin, ideal for a weekend away. It was clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The hot tub was great and very secluded. The bathroom was clean and the shower was hot with good pressure. We had a lovely couple of nights here and I would really recommend it.
