The Shearer - Crossgate Luxury Glamping is a single-storey pod in Glenridding, Cumbria. This studio-style accommodation sits on a working farm with jaw-dropping Lake District views visible from your doorstep. Perfect for those who want nature without sacrificing comfort.

The Lake District location puts you right in the heart of England's most spectacular scenery. Walk straight from your pod to explore stunning trails. Stargazing opportunities are incredible - there's even a dedicated skylight window above the bed for midnight astronomy (or watching rain patter against glass while staying toasty inside).

The Shearer - Crossgate Luxury Glamping Reviews

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.

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
