Near Edge Pod Branthwaite Nr Cockermouth

Set in its own little area in the heart of our farm, the pod is a perfect cosy retreat after a days adventure in the Lake District Small (only 4 and a half foot high) but dry, warm, cosy and comfortable, the pod is to be viewed as more of a solid tent, with the added benefits of electric hook up, heating, and a comfy bed to rest on after a day out in the Lake District. The bed is a small double (4ft) Dogs are welcome here at Near Edge but please bear in mind the small size of the pod when planning your stay. Situated just a short walk from the pod is our newly renovated shower block. Aptly named “The Wash House”, in olden days it was used as a place to wash the milk and butter churns, and do the laundry. Today it has toasty under floor heating, a nice hot electric shower and changing area, a sink, a small fridge, and a washing machine, and drying racks for those waterproofs to dry out on overnight. An iron, ironing board and hair dryer are provided to get ready for a good night out in the local towns, or pubs and restaurants . Towels can be provided, or you may wish to bring your own. There is also a separate door leading into the toilet, with an additional sink. An outside tap allows you to wash off muddy gear (or dogs) before hanging it to dry. The pod sits in its own little fenced off area within the grounds of the farm, complete with an outside bistro set and fire pit. Perfect for bbq’ing or roasting marshmallows under the stars. Going inside the pod you will find it cosy and well equipped with everything you should need during your stay. There's a camping stove, pans, plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, all important corkscrew. Bedding and towels are provided. Electric hook up is included, with sockets, lights. There is a fan that heats on cold days and cools on warm days. Just bring your clothes and food. :) The pod is in its own private area at the bottom of a large garden for guests to enjoy. Shared facilities include the shower block, and toilet, garden. I like to be here to meet and greet you and show you around, but will then leave you in peace to enjoy your time away. However, I am always on hand via text, or usually around the farm if you need any help :-) Situated on the outskirts of the quiet, picturesque, farming village of Branthwaite. Ideally located for exploring the coast and the lakes, and within a 30 minute drive radius are the towns of Whitehaven, Workington, Maryport, Cockermouth and Keswick, lakes, fells, forests and the beach! The Wild Duck pub is a 20 minute stroll away from the pod (or a two minute drive) or the equally lovely Royal Yew pub in Dean is just over a mile away. You will need transport if you want to go further than the village. Everything is a short drive away. There is a bus on a Wednesday that goes a couple of times a day to Cockermouth but thats it!
