    Only 8 pods, great amenity block. Fantastic setting and close by to shops and activities at Windermere. Fantastic place to introduce kids to camping but with the ease of not having to pitch a tent.

    It was our first time away without staying in a conventional hotel but it will not be our last! Everything is so easily accessible and on the evenings it’s lit up just enough to be able to see but can still appreciate the evening dark skies....

Property information

We're delighted to introduce our new Pod Village - The Hive, which opened in 2022. You can now enjoy a breakaway in one of our 9 heated pods which are nestled in our woodland area here at Ghyll Head. The opportunities are endless here in the stunning Lake District. In addition to the Pod Village we also are pleased to offer our Accessible Bungalow to Groups and families. Designed to be barrier free this is a great location for wheelchair users and visitors with limited mobility. Just a stones throw away from Lake Windermere and with an amazing array of fabulous walking and mountain-biking routes on the door step our Pods are a great base to allow you to explore this superb part of the country. Our location is second to none with Bowness-on-Windermere just three miles away with its bustling bars, restaurants and shops should you want to mix it up.
