About Damson View Glamping

Tucked into the peaceful Lyth Valley countryside, Damson View Glamping offers four spotless, modern pods that punch well above their weight. Each comes ensuite with power showers, comfy bedding, smart TVs and thoughtful finishing touches that guests consistently rave about. The views across the valley are genuinely stunning, and the hosts—warm, welcoming, helpful with local tips—clearly take pride in what they've created here.

It's adults-only, open year-round, and dogs are welcome in one pod, making it a particularly good bolt-hole for couples seeking a quiet Cumbrian escape. The location strikes a nice balance: peaceful enough to properly unwind, yet handily placed for walks and attractions around the Lakes and Dales. A 2025 Camping & Glamping Award runner-up that's earning its five-star reputation.

What visitors say

Alex Frew

A little gem! We don’t always write reviews, but we had to for this lovely place. Seeing so many positive reviews before visiting definitely reassured us, and once we arrived, we completely understood why. Howard and Carole clearly take great pride in it, with how well-kept the grounds and pods are, and they were incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. Everything is maintained to a very high standard, which really made our stay even more enjoyable. Carole showed us around on arrival, including where to find extra supplies and everything we needed in the pod. The pod itself was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, we settled in straight away. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and enjoyed BBQs on both evenings. It was so peaceful and relaxing at night, making it the perfect getaway. Our only regret was not booking an extra night! We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the near future. Thank you Carole and Howard for looking after us.

I had a wonderful weekend stay . The pods are super cool. They have everything you could want , the power shower was just brilliant. I went along with my dog Monty ,staying in the dog pod. He loved the field immediately outside. Enjoying the brook which runs towards the bottom of the field. Perfect weather and views. First of the summer bar B Q s. Howard and Carol the perfect hosts.

Absolutely perfect! We booked a stay with our dog for 2 nights and felt so restored when we left. The rooms are perfect, the bed was so comfortable and every small detail has been thought of! We had such a wonderful time and will 100% be back for our next trip to the lakes. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We recently stayed at Damson View Glamping, absolutely fantastic location, only a few minutes drive to Windermere, scenery from our pod was stunning. Pod had everything we needed and was furnished beautifully. Carole and Howard were lovely and very accommodating and made us feel at home, plus they provided great recommendations for local pub restaurants. Definitely be going back and would highly recommend.
