Glamping Pod with hot tub - Pet Friendly

Our Glamping Pod at Herwick Croft Holiday Park offers a cosy retreat for two in the heart of the Lake District. Designed with comfort in mind, it features a king-size bed, a well-equipped kitchen area and thoughtful touches including a coffee machine. After a day spent exploring Bassenthwaite Lake and the surrounding fells, unwind in your own private hot tub and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Compact yet comfortable, it’s the perfect escape for couples looking to slow down and reconnect.

Glamping pod features vary depending on the manufacturer and model and cannot be guaranteed. All our units vary subtly; the floor plan is an example layout only.
