Amazing, relaxing get away lovely views and great to see the animals

Absolutely fantastic best relaxing weekend we have had in a long time. Nothing bad at all to say. Diane was lovely did more than enough to make our little stay so nice. Our little pod was well equipped with all that we needed . Hot tub was lovely with the lights around. We will definitely be returning. Loved it
Mallard view was spotlessly clean on arrival. We were met by Diane , the owner , who had been very helpful throughout the booking process. The pod itself is exceptionally well equipped for a 2 person stay . Hot tub made it a very relaxing stay . Within walking distance of Farmyard Brewery half mile which would recommend , anywhere else a vehicle is essential or bus nearby. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
Susannah
It was amazing! ! If your thinking of booking that away trip with your significant other or friends then do it!! Hosts were so lovely and the pods themselves AMAZING! So nice and cozy, pub not too far away but we booked plenty of things to do during the day so getting back to relax and use the hot tub was just the perfect treat!
I thought this place was perfect. .. I came on my own for peace and quiet and thats exactly what I got. The family are v kind and welcoming and are available should you need them. I will definitely be coming back again.

Great pod in a lovely quiet location. I love the little extra thought that's gone into making sure your pod has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Andrew
This stay was everything we needed. Absolute relaxation, beautiful landscapes around us, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, the pod itself was amazing. Really warm and cosy and great attention to detail. Also some lovely little cakes and Easter egg left by incredible and welcoming host. Absolutely 1010 and will be returning!
Very peaceful and friendly atmosphere
Nicholas
We had a really good time. The hosts have made some really great places to stay they are clean, tidy and warm underfloor heating with a really good shower and great hot tub. They emailed detailed instructions before our stay, greeted us on arrival and told us about a local brewery on a farm with a nice bar within walking distance which was also excellent. The surrounding area is also beautiful. I would highly recommend.
We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of November 2023. We were met by Diane who was very friendly and explained everything to us. The Pod and Patio was exceptionally clean. The facilities inside were perfect with everything supplied, and the cup cakes left for us was a nice gesture. The Hot tub was very clean and so relaxing. The weather was cold and wet but this didn't matter as we were warm and cosy inside the Pod. We enjoyed the experience and would like to go back sometime in the future.
Doreen
We love it here. Diane is always very welcoming and facilities are very good. An.extr bonus.this time was the very cute alpacas and Ebony let us stroke her another lovely experience. We will be back Doreen and Tony x

Lovely waking up the animals outside each morning so was such a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Left a glass behind as well and they were happy to post it back couldnt ask for anymore! Will be coming back again this year!

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 20 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
