2 bedroom cabin
Liked: Loved our 2 night stay at Parkgate in the 'Esk' glamping pod for our Daughters 30th. The grounds were very well maintained and had lots of facilities. The pod was immaculate and had everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The wardens were warm and friendly and were only a phone call away if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend it.
Disliked: The postcode entered into the Sat nav said we'd arrived at the Farm but we were still 2 mins drive away!
The position of the road sign wasn't very visible when travelling from the direction of Eskdale (Bower House Inn) to the site.
