Rowan is a luxury glamping pod on the outskirts of Ulverston, Cumbria. This single-storey studio-style accommodation sits in prime Lake District territory with stunning countryside views from your private deck. The pod packs everything you need into a clever space that feels surprisingly roomy. Previous guests rave about how spotlessly clean it is – probably because they're not distracted by the panoramic hillside vistas.

The location strikes a perfect balance. You're surrounded by peaceful farmland with hills rolling away to the horizon, yet Ulverston town is just minutes away. Perfect for Lake District explorers who want easy access to both wild landscapes and civilisation.

 

About Rowan

Rowan is a luxury glamping pod on the outskirts of Ulverston, Cumbria. This single-storey studio-style accommodation sits in prime Lake District territory with stunning countryside views from your private deck. The pod packs everything you need into a clever space that feels surprisingly roomy. Previous guests rave about how spotlessly clean it is – probably because they're not distracted by the panoramic hillside vistas.

The location strikes a perfect balance. You're surrounded by peaceful farmland with hills rolling away to the horizon, yet Ulverston town is just minutes away. Perfect for Lake District explorers who want easy access to both wild landscapes and civilisation. After a day of hiking, nothing beats sinking into your private hot tub with a glass of something cold while watching the sunset over the fells. That's what holidays are for, right?

The pod itself is thoughtfully equipped with a comfy double bed, smart TV and WiFi. The kitchen area includes a two-ring halogen hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster – enough to cook a romantic meal if you're not hitting the local pubs. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, basin and WC. Outside, your private decking area houses that all-important hot tub where you'll likely spend most evenings.

Nearby attractions include the South Lakes Safari Zoo (7 miles, 15 mins), Conishead Priory (3 miles, 10 mins), Grizedale Forest (12 miles, 25 mins) and the Lakeland Motor Museum (9 miles, 20 mins).

Is Rowan Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
While Rowan is a cosy and well-equipped pod, it's designed specifically for two adults with a studio layout and one double bed. The space would be quite tight for families with children. Nearby attractions like South Lakes Safari Zoo would appeal to kids, but this accommodation is best suited for adult couples seeking a romantic getaway.
For Couples
Rowan is perfect for couples. The intimate studio layout creates a cosy atmosphere, while the private hot tub offers romantic evenings under the stars. The stunning countryside views provide a peaceful backdrop for quality time together. After exploring the Lake District, return to your secluded pod for a glass of wine on the deck as the sun sets over the hills.
Pet Friendly
Rowan does not allow pets. This accommodation is designed as a pet-free environment to maintain its high standards of cleanliness and comfort. Couples looking for a getaway without pets will appreciate the immaculate condition of the pod. For those wanting to bring dogs, alternative accommodation in the area would be more suitable.

Francesca
Beautiful little pod, really clean and just perfect. Facilities were great too really friendly and helpful owner! Location is great. Just a 2 min drive into the village were there are loads of local pubs that serve food and little local shops. Great stay!
Eleanor
Stayed in Rowan as a birthday trip for my boyfriend and my first time in the Lake District. The farm and scenery are gorgeous, and the owners are really friendly! The cabins are in a really good location, with plenty to do locally and not too far from places such as Windermere and BarrowinFurness. Had a lovely time and would definitely like to visit again! The cabin itself was really cosy, fully furnished with a tv, couch, towels, dishes etc, really handy!
Anthony
It was an incredible weekend stay, by far the best hut me and my parter have stayed in. The hut was spotless with a nice message written in the rug on arrival. With beautiful views right outside the door which we was able to enjoy whilst enjoying the hottub, made even better with the pups Meg and Polly checking in, Carol was a absolute delight always on hand if we needed anything or wanted to find places to walk to. Make sure you take Carrots for Charlie and Mindy
Beautiful farm and surroundings. Had the most wonderful time. The pod was so lovely and cosey and we didn't want to come home! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Samantha
On arrival we had a personal welcome from the owners. The pod was immaculately clean and spacious, the best of this style accommodation we have ever had. The hot tub over looking the field was very peaceful. A great location to reach various spots in the lakes.
Anushi
Had a great time. The views are amazing from the cosy pod and the hot tub. Super clean and has everything you want for a short stay. You can park right next to the pod. Would highly recommend. Thank you for hosting.
Angela
From the moment we arrived we loved it at Rowan. Carol came over to see us to introduce herself, Meg and the adorable Polly. Plenty advice on walks and things to see. The pod itself was clean, well stocked with all you need. The hot tub was great at the end of the day or if you felt like just chilling. Meg came to see us every day, mostly with her ball!! To top it off Charlie and Mindy, the farm donkeys visited for their carrots, but be aware, they will sulk if you forget
Michael
The place felt really nice and relaxing and the host was so welcoming and friendly. We are definitely going back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn't of asked for more friendly if we tried, we get to know the owners and got to get up close and personal with the animals who the owners took time out of their daily chores to explain facts to us about the animals and we loved seeing Meg and Polly the new arrival to the farm. Charlie & Mindy the donkeys became our new best friends also. The lodge was spotless and perfect for what we wantedneeded. The hot tub was checked daily and was perfect for us to relax in as soon as we arrived, the veiws and outstanding location was all around just perfection. Rowan was by far the best lodge with perfect views right from the doors. We will be coming back in the future. Thanks Pixie and TJ
Melissa
The view was unreal. Just what we needed for a few days break! Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Lovely location, beautiful views peaceful and relaxing. The pod was very comfortable, clean and exactly as advertised. Carol and Ian were friendly and helpful. We would recommend them 100 and will be going back again.
Richard
What an amazing break. Loved everything about this place. Simply beautiful. Could not improve everything. Owners are so welcoming, and the chickens and the dogs. Will be coming back soon. Oh and the fresh eggs for sale are to die for.
Really nice location lovely outlook over the hills but the town is very near and handy for shops. Owners very friendly and go out their way to make you feel welcome. Would definitely recommend staying there!
Russell
The pods are very high quality, with so many nice touches. The location is perfect, direct access to beautiful countryside and scenery with lots to offer in Ulverston. A great base to explore the Lake District. The hot tub was great, a real highlight. Cooking facilities, bathroomshower and bedding were all top quality and made the stay a home from home. Staying on a working farm was a bonus and the owners are lovely and very friendly, the farm has lambs, calves, chickens and fresh eggs! and we made friends with the dogs too. A great stay and we cant wait to return.
Stayed in Rowan for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was clean and spacious with all the facilities needed. Hot tub was fantastic and well used during our stay. Scenery around the property were stunning. Owners were on hand if required and very friendly. Good location with plenty of walks in the area. Especially enjoyed walking around Tarn How and decided to walk to the top of Black Crag on route. Views of lake Windermere at the top were stunning and well worth the extra walk. Enjoyed eating out a couple of nights at The Rose & Crown in Ulverston and would highly recommend especially the Sunday roast.Would definitely return and would certainly recommend these pods to friends and family.
Fantastic stay very nice people love the hot tub
We had a lovely stay, the hosts are so friendly and helpful as well. The place is clean and has everything you need for a nice quiet get away. Good location as close to the town which has lots of nice pubs and things to do. We will definitely be coming back.
We had a fantastic week in our pod and it had everything we needed and was warm and cosy. Waking up to the gorgeous view was a bonus. We loved the hot tub, especially when we were lucky enough to have a clear night to stargaze. Carol and Ian were great hosts and always on hand if we needed anything. We would highly recommend booking a stay here and we will be back.

Excellent place to stay. Great luxury pod, lovely hosts and a fantastic location. Highly recommended.
Just back from a wonderful stay at Low Flan Farm retreat. Pods were comfortable and immaculately clean, most amenities readily available and plenty of space. The area is peaceful with only minimal noise from a nearby road. Views from the pods are gorgeous and it was thoroughly enjoyable taking them in from the warmth of the hot tub
Hosts were amazing close to everything u could imagine. .was even offered lift to pub and back but also shown routes the county side via fields water falls light house all walking distance even for my partner that don't like walking...hot tub saved his end of the day ..waking up to chickens chicks very large cows and donkeys every morning was a pleasure can't wait to come back and I'm going to take a puppy back next time and a trailer so I can pinch some mumma chickens and her babies xx
Christopher
Excellent. The pod was very comfortable and well equipped. Carole was very welcoming and we particularly enjoyed the visits from Meg and Ruby the farm dogs. The location is great for a lakes getaway countryside views and only a 3 minute drive to Ulverston town which has plenty of shops and restaurants.
Mirela
What a tranquil place! The pod was very clean, the jacuzzi was already warm when we got there, the host was nice and helpful. Will go again.
Absolutely loved our stay at the Rowan Pod and would definitely recommend. The views were amazing & so was the hot tub it was just the peace and quiet relaxing break we needed! The only couple of things we had abit of an issue with was the shower and flies. The shower pressure is really low and the temperature gage is next to impossible to use it was constantly flicking between freezing cold and boiling hot and made showering really difficult we also believe that horse flies may be getting in via the fan in the bathroom or theres some kind of nest as they kept appearing in there even after we made a lot of effort to get them out and keep blinds shut. Apart from this, it was a lovely stay and you can really tell how well the owners look after it. We also had Meg the owners sheep dog visiting us everyday for fuss which was a highlight!
Me and my partner went in this cottage from 26 August to 1 September and was an amazing week, the farm is well located near to a village in case something is needed, the cottage is clean and comfortable, the owners are friendly and available for everything, privacy respected, the hot tub is amazing and clean, super quiet place to stay and relax, also all the main lakes are near so you can go and visit all of them, we did one per day. Our experience was amazing, nothing went wrong, I would like to come back and I suggest this place to everyone want to spend even a weekend in peace in a lovely farm.
Robert
