Crossgate Luxury Glamping Reviews

Phillip
Great property just a walk up hill to get to it Would go again but request one nearer bottom of hill
Exceeded our expectations. The hosts had thought of everything and the little touches really did make our stay that much more special. The location was perfect in every way. The pods were nicely spaced out and the hot tub was very welcome after a days hike. If I was being hyper critical I would just request shampoo shower gel was provided in the shower. But that really is the only thing I could think for improvement. We will definitely be back!
During our stay the hottub did not work, the owners tried to fix it with no success. We spoke to the owners and requested a partial refund as the hottub was a huge reason why we booked this location. Whilst they accepted al our request and said we would have to go through the booking company, once we requested a refund they declined and offered a complimentary night stay for the price of 2 nights. The Lake District is a beautiful place, chose another glamping destination.
Absolutely Stunning
We've stayed 3 times now and plan to return again next year. The Pods are perfect for us, and the location is great. I would recommend this site to anyone.
Absolutely amazing stay
We had an amazing week! The property was just perfect and the location, amazing. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a brilliant week.
Really nice place to stay. Nicely kept and great scenery all around the lodges. Hot tub is a great touch as well very much enjoyable on a cold sunset evening. Some large fire logs would be good to have at the beginner for use of the fire pit. Also remember there is no oven in the lodges which is a down side as you can be a bit more limited to what you can cook. Overall a really nice experience.
Tracey

Nicola
Unique wooden pod in a beautiful location. Extremely kind and helpful owners. Great freebies. Highly recommended!
We had a fabulous stay at The Shearer very clean and the views are amazing! The owners were really friendly and helpful. Well definitely be back
Melanie
Amazing place full of home comforts. Great walks from the pod. Wonderful owners who happy to help if needed. Would recommend
Danielle
An absolutely lovely little hideaway. We had a great week here. The pod was really well equipped, very warm and cosy, and the furnishings very comfortable. Hot tub is a real treat and the hosts are so welcoming and accommodating. There are walks, lakes, lovely villages, and a nice pub all within walking distance, but it's also in a good, central, location for sightseeing more broadly. The stargazing window is great, but a blackout blind would be beneficial we saw another review suggesting the same, and brought eye masks so it didnt affect us. We did hit a really wet week, so also brought our own clothes airer to dry wet walking gear nothing the host can control, just a tip for things to pack.
We had a lovely weekend glamping! Very clean and the pod was bigger than expected! Lovely little extras provided made it even better! Great location.
Alyssa
Absolutely amazing only thing was maybe a black out blind for the sky light for those early sunny mornings
Me and my partner stayed here for a long weekend an it was absolutley perfect! So much attention to detail and really loved all the little things and extras that was provided. The setting was perfect and beautiful with stunning views.
Beautiful cabin in an amazing location. The cabin has everything you need for your stay. The cabin was clean well looked after. Lovely cosy environment so peaceful. Easy to find location
Our stay in The Shearer luxury glamping pod was perfect in every way. The pod has everything you need to relax and let the stresses of life just drift away. Looking at the stars whilst cosied up in bed gazing through the skylight window or sitting in the amazing hot tub was magical. The place is surrounded by stunning views good walks and a close drive to Glenridding. Our perfect honeymoon
