Luxury glamping on a traditional Lakeland farm in a stunning valley
A 10-minute drive from Staveley and 15 from Lake Windermere
Units have ensuites, beds with linen, and a microwave and fridge

This is a choose-your-own-adventure sort of spot: sitting pretty on a working family farm in the Kentmere valley, Kentmere Farm Pods is a haven for adventurers eager to explore the lush landscapes of the Lake District on foot or by bike. You’ll be ditching the tent pegs here, say the owners, and cosying up in a glamping pod built locally in the South Lakes for up to four people. Each one has double and sofa beds (with linen provided), a private ensuite toilet and shower, and a microwave and fridge. But back to those adventures… How does pootling beside the stream on site, following paths around the farm on the lookout for wildlife, or taking on a challenging trek further afield sound? All of the above's on offer at this park in a nifty location 20 minutes' drive east of the famed Cumbrian village of Kendal and 15 minutes west of Lake Windermere. If you prefer hanging out to hiking, the pods are in their own spacious field with spectacular views of the Kentmere valley and surrounding Lake District fells to cast your eyes upon. In the evenings, the sightseeing’s just as snazzy as a lack of light pollution means the stars glitter overhead when the skies are free from clouds. In the daytime, wangle yourself a licence from the local village, Staveley (under 10 minutes’ drive), and a fly-fishing permit from the site to have a go at angling on the Kent river flowing through the farm. If you’re not lucky enough to reel in some supper, the artisan shops, cafes, pubs, chippy, butcher and bakeries in the village have meals sorted anyway.

Liked: We had a lovely stay , check in instructions were super easy the site was easy to find . Inside was super clean , comfy bed and toasty warm surrounding area was beautiful, we took a bike ride from the site witch was nice.

Disliked: No tea coffee sugar in the kitchen, just thought that’s something that is usually provided
With the shower and toilet being one unit I suggest you take slippers as once you’ve had a shower it stays wet in there for quite a while so you will get wet feet if needing to use the loo.

A beautiful place to relax and recharge your batteries.

Camping pod

Liked: Beautiful location and lovely little camping pods. No phone reception which was ideal to get the kids off their phones and back to old fashioned things like talking and playing games. Surrounded by small but nice hills, just right for younger kids.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for a great review. So glad you liked the location. There are great walks for little kids but if you want more challenging hills, head into Kentmere for the Kentmere Horseshoe. Quite a steep climb up Garbon but great views over to High Street and Mardale. Hope to see you again.

Local attractions

There's some epic walking and biking to be had here. Trot off across valleys and fells on the Kentmere Horse Shoe trail, or have a go at challenging cycle rides like the thigh-burning Garburn-to-Troutbeck or Greenside-to-Longsleddale trails. Prefer a gentler amble? That's covered too… Wild swimming your thing? Try dipping in the hollows along the river Kent or head to Rydal Water (25 minutes’ drive) for a lake swim. Climbers, meanwhile, might like to bound over to Badger Rock for some bouldering. Further away are the high-wire expeditions at Treetop Lake District (20 minutes) and Go Ape Grizedale (45 minutes), with the latter location also being home to bike trails through the forest. And if the water’s calling your name again? The bigger lakes – like Windermere, 15 minutes away – are the places for canoeing, windsurfing, rowing, kayaking and paddleboarding.
