We are very dog friendly in the hotel, restaurant, bar and yurts so please bring your furry family members. Our beautiful woodland is also home to red squirrels (which are seen daily), protected, freshwater crayfish in the river, an otter (seen very infrequently but the nemesis of our ducks), 6 Indian runner ducks, free range chickens and our two cockerels! (Dogs are very welcome but are to be kept on a lead whilst in the woodland itself). We are very dog friendly and charge an additional fee of £15 for 1 dog/ £20 for 2 dogs for an additional cleaning fee and for some dog friendly goodies such as poop bags and treats. The price of this yurt is based on an occupancy of 2 people. Any other people who will be staying on the sofa bed will add a charge of £40 per person per night for breakfast and their stay. All yurts come with electrical battery pack, chargeable lanterns, tea/coffee, homemade biscuits, log burning stoves, towels, full breakfast included from the hotel, an outdoor seating area and access to our outdoor toasty warm woodland shower as well as our very cute, wooden toilet cabin. Hairdryers are available in the hotel for your use.

Glamping in Cumbria guide

Overview

The Lake District isn’t the only reason to visit Cumbria—but there’s no denying that it’s the main one. Home to the highest mountains and largest lakes in England, it’s no wonder that the Lake District is the most visited of the UK’s 15 national parks. There are, of course, glamping sites galore in this area, ones that cater to all tastes. Look out for yurts, shepherd’s huts, and tiny homes next to the water.

You’ll find all sorts of Cumbria glamping accommodation, from pods to treehouses and bell tents to shepherd’s huts. Plenty of family-friendly glamping spots are also on offer, in addition to others where you can bring your dog or escape for a cosy romantic stay.
