The pod's compact but well-designed space creates an intimate atmosphere. Wake up to mountain views from your bed. After walks in the fells, return to your secluded deck for sunset drinks with panoramic views.

Pet Friendly

Striding Edge welcomes one dog per booking. The pod opens onto farm fields and is close to countless Lake District walks. Dogs must stay off beds. The enclosed deck area provides safe outdoor space.

We really enjoyed our stay! The pod was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which added a lovely festive touch. The welcome brownies and scones were a nice surprise and made us feel really welcome. The layout was cleverly designed to make the most of the space and everything we needed was there. Ending the day in the hot tub after a rainy walk was just perfect.

Emma Clarke

The view from the pod was absolutely stunning! Waking up early to the sounds of nature really felt like heaven. The place itself is lovely, super peacefuland very well maintained. The hot tub was perfect-completely heated and ready to go when we arrived, which was great. We did struggle a bit with the jets, couldn't quite figure out how to turn on the high pressureand there was no clear sign to help us. Still, overall, a fantastic stay. We'd definitely come back and recommend it to others!

Rosie was super helpful and friendly throughout. Highly recommend for anyone needing a chill getaway!
