Orchard Hideaways, Penrith, The Lake District - Premium Accommodation in Penrith, Cumbria

Orchard Hideaways is a 16-pod campsite set inside an ancient apple tree orchard on the edge of the Lake District. The named camping pods, including Lord Derby, Darcy Spice, and Annie Elizabeth, come with heating, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle, cutlery, plates, and a TV with Netflix. Each pod at Orchard Hideaways has a keycode-protected entrance, its own parking bay, and its own barbecue and fire area with a bench; guests bring their own bedding.

The on-site spa and wellness centre has a hot tub and sauna, and the bookable Chill Out area adds a fire pit with movie projector, a BBQ, and an outdoor heated area with fairy lights and Alexa. Bicycle rental, a laundry room, and a hub with a vending machine and washing machine are available on the Orchard Hideaways grounds. Guests also have access to communal shower blocks, toilets, an outside dog shower, and BBQ facilities set around the Orchard Hideaways garden and picnic area.

Guests cook outdoors at the individual barbecue and fire area at each pod, or use the covered communal seating area with heaters and an Alexa speaker. The chill and sizzle deal gives allocated time in the hot tub, sauna, and Chill Out social space. Greggs and Burger King sit within a 2-minute walk of the site, and Penrith town centre is 2 minutes away for shops and evening meals.

The campsite sits within walking distance of the historic market town Penrith and within easy reach of the M6 and the West Coast Main Line. The Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site, starts at the doorstep, with Ullswater a short drive away and Keswick 20 minutes by car. The location makes the campsite a stop-off for walkers or cyclists taking part in the Coast to Coast challenge.

The Orchard Hideaways campsite is dog-friendly, with an outside dog shower, a fenced seating area at some pods, and a small charge for pets. Children have access to kids' outdoor play equipment and a small play area on the Orchard Hideaways site.
