Skelwith Fold’s Family Pods are designed for simple, comfortable stays in the woodland — they are warm, compact and easy for families to use as a base for outdoor days. Inside, there’s a clean, uncluttered sleeping and living space that works well for short breaks, with room for beds, bags and the basics without feeling cramped. Soft lighting and natural timber finishes create a cosy, cabin-style feel.
Spend mornings getting ready for the day’s adventures and evenings winding down together, and the Pods suit that rhythm. The heating keeps things warm whatever the weather, and large windows bring in woodland light. Sleeping layouts vary slightly, but each pod can accommodate a small family comfortably, with simple furnishings and enough storage for a long weekend or a few nights away.
The Pods don’t have their own bathrooms, but the nearby facilities block is clean, modern and well maintained, with plenty of hot water. Many families find the short stroll part of the glamping experience, especially with older children who enjoy the independence.
Outside, each Pod has a small private area where you can sit with a morning coffee or watch the trees settle in the evening. Being close to the play area and woodland trails keeps days easy, and most families spend as much time outdoors as possible. Wagtails Pod is a good fit for guests travelling with dogs; woodland walks and The Henge field nearby are perfect for run arounds.
Altogether, the Family Pods offer a relaxed, fuss-free way to enjoy Skelwith Fold — comfortable enough for quiet evenings in, and cosy enough to flop in after full days out in the Lakes.
