Plan a laid-back break at this dog-friendly pod, located on a holiday park inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sleeping up to four, the compact property makes a wonderful glamping spot for couples or small families hoping to relax and recharge in a quiet countryside setting. Despite the rural location, you’ll be conveniently close to the charming town of Kirkby Lonsdale (1 mile), home to shops and places to eat.
Inside, the open-plan retreat is kept cosy by underfloor heating. After active days out, curl up on the comfortable sofa and watch a film on the TV. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for preparing hearty breakfasts and tasty dinners, and there’s a two-seater dining table for sit-down meals. At the rear of the retreat you’ll find a plush double bed, while the sofa converts into a double that’s particularly well suited to youngsters. A modern shower room with a WC sits just off the living area. Outside, you can dine alfresco on the picnic bench, and there’s a handy brick base for if you’d like to bring your own BBQ. On-site parking is available for two cars.
If you’re here on a Thursday, don’t miss the traditional market in Kirkby Lonsdale, when the town square comes alive with stalls selling fresh local produce and handmade crafts. A little over 1 mile from the pod, the 14th-century Devil’s Bridge crosses the River Lune, while Ruskin’s View is home to scenery famously painted by Turner. If you’re nature lovers, lace up your walking boots and set off on foot along the area’s numerous riverside trails and picturesque routes.
