Swirral Edge in Keswick, Cumbria | Must-See Cumbria Hot Tub Cottage

About Swirral Edge

Swirral Edge is a high-end pod-style accommodation sitting on a working sheep farm in Keswick, Cumbria. Wake up to jaw-dropping views of Blencathra and the Northern Fells from your comfy double bed. This isn't your average camping experience - it's like a hotel room that somehow landed in paradise.

The Lake District surrounds you with its raw beauty. Just 1 mile from Threlkeld village with its pubs and cricket pavilion and 4 miles from Keswick town. Fancy a walk? The Northern Fells are literally on your doorstep. Want entertainment? Check out the open-air theatre on Derwentwater. And when your legs are knackered from all that hiking, the hot tub awaits.

This spacious pod sleeps 2 in a double bed with stunning fell views. The open-plan living area includes a sofa, Smart TV, two-ring gas hob, microwave and fridge with ice compartment (for those G&Ts). There's a proper shower room with WC, plus covered decking and a private seating area outside.

Visit The Lakes Distillery (12 miles), explore Mirehouse and gardens, or just hang around Keswick for the Mountain Festival. Threlkeld's golf course is perfect for a relaxed round. Keswick town offers shops, restaurants and lakeside activities just 4 miles away (10-minute drive).

Swirral Edge is perfect for couples wanting a romantic break with a touch of luxury. The private hot tub is absolute bliss after a day of adventures. Dogs welcome too - they'll love the farm setting as much as you will!

Farm location offers seclusion yet pubs are walkable in Threlkeld. The Smart TV and sofa provide cosy evenings in. Wake up to Blencathra views from your bed for ultimate romantic moments.

Pet Friendly

Swirral Edge welcomes one dog per booking. The working sheep farm location offers fascinating smells and sights for curious pups. Multiple walking routes start directly from the property.

The pod was really cosy and had all we needed. Loved the stunning views and relaxing hot tub. Only downside was no nearby pub or restaurant, so we had to drive if we wanted a drink with our meal.

The hot tub was fantastic and the scenery truly took our breath away!

We had such a lovely time at the lodge! It was perfect for a child-free escape after all these years. The place was stunning from beginning to end. Little touches like the scones and brownie really made it special. Overall, a fantastic experience - thank you so much!

Oliver

Great spot, super tidy and cosy. The location's perfect, with parking just outside. We loved exploring nearby walks and the local food scene-really recommend it!

Emma

This trip was honestly one of our favourites. The scenery was stunning and the atmosphere totally relaxing. We stay here about three times a year with our dogand we're already planning to return. Everyone in town was super friendlyand Rosie, the host, is just lovely!

James

We had a fantastic time during our stay! The homemade goodies were a lovely touchand the little bottle of milk in the fridge was perfect for our coffee. We'll definitely return and have been recommending it to everyone we talk to. Truly lovely!

We loved the gorgeous setting, everything's finished to a really high standard and looks amazing. Already recommended it to friendsand we'd definitely return! Travelling with our toddler and dog was easy, especially with those lovely nearby walks. Absolutely fantastic!

Emily

We loved the cosy feel, stunning views of Blencathraand all the great facilities. It was a really relaxing stayand those treats were a lovely touch!

James

We had a lovely stay at the glamping pod! It was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed for a comfortable holiday. The "goodies" on arrival were a nice touch. The location was perfect, with breathtaking views. The hot tub was a real treat. The only hiccup was the bed-being 6' tall, my feet hung over the end because it was tucked under the curved wall. Still, we'd come back!

Emma

We loved the cosy vibe, spot-on location for sunrise and sunset viewsand the afternoon tea was a lovely surprise. Thanks for a wonderful stay - we'll be back for sure!
