Tastefully furnished with double patio doors opening onto a large wooden deck area with outside seating to enjoy the great outdoors. Featuring a made up bed, sofa , large flatscreen tv, kettle, toaster and shower and wc this pod offers our ultimate pod experience. Bedding is provided and car parking next to the unit.

Castle Pods:

Our CastlePods sleep a maximum of two adults and two children. They feature a double bed and a bunk-bed with mattresses but linen, blankets/duvets must be provided by the guest. There is a heater, two twin electric sockets with USB charging ports, lights, picnic bench and decking area. Sorry dogs are not permitted.

 

Standard and Family Pods:

These small timber huts feature a wraparound roof, well insulated with sheep’s wool in the walls, and with a special foil layer under the tiles to help keep summer temperatures in check. There’s good head height and plenty of light from the double-glazed lockable french doors which, together with a small high rear window, provide a good through draft. Also provided is an electric socket, heater and lighting. These units do not have beds and you would bring all the necessities of camping minus the tent. Car parking is available for each pod and we have pet friendly options in this range. Toilet, shower and pot wash facilities are a short walk from the CastlePods/Family and Standard Pods.

 

Fun Fact: Our Hex Pods and Castlerigg Gallery are located on the site of the ‘Derwent Holiday Camp’, thought to be the oldest permanent holiday camp in the country.

 

Sleep under the Stars

The great thing about stargazing is that it is the ideal holiday activity that everyone can enjoy. Here in the Lake District, we are blessed to have one of the best locations in England to experience stunning dark skies.

Here at Castlerigg Hall, our holiday park is well set up to help you enjoy a night under the stars. Holiday under the night’s sky in one of our Hex Pod glamping pods. These luxurious pods fitted with underfloor heating, open plan kitchen, bed, sitting area, a private shower, wc and balcony with mountain views make for a truly special  glamping experience. They are also fitted with skylights so that you can appreciate the beautiful stars from the warmth and comfort of your pod.

To help you get a closer look at the stars, guests are welcome to borrow binoculars from our Reception. We only ask for a deposit, otherwise these can be used free of charge. Furthermore, to assist stargazing visibility and the local nocturnal wildlife, we also ensure that the grounds aren’t excessively lit at night-time. Keep an eye out for our new ‘stargazing observation seating’ currently in progress, which will offer a relaxing yet more enhanced view of the night sky.

Whilst staying with us, another great spot close to Castlerigg Hall where you can enjoy the stars is Castlerigg Stone Circle. Constructed around 3000 BC, this ancient monument is probably one of the most atmospheric and dramatically sited of all British stone circles thanks to the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as its backdrop. The actual intention of the site is still unknown, though the arrangement of the stones in the circle suggests an astronomical link which many think may show alignments with planets and stars.
