Why choose The Quiet Site

About the site

Set above Ullswater in the Lake District, this peaceful, eco site is surrounded by fells and countryside. With walking routes straight from the park, including sections of the Ullswater Way, it is a fantastic choice for guests wanting to explore the outdoors, enjoy waterside adventures or simply unwind. The camping pods provide a cosy alternative to traditional camping, with insulated wooden interiors designed to keep guests comfortable whatever the weather. Sleeping up to four people, the pods include heating, lighting and plug sockets. Guests will need to bring along their own beds, bedding and cooking equipment. Guests have access to modern, warm shower rooms, toilets and washing areas nearby, along with a well-equipped camper's kitchen featuring microwaves, kettles, toasters, fridges and freezers. There is also a laundry and drying room, ideal after a day spent hiking or exploring the fells. Alongside the pods, the site offers camping and touring pitches, plus a range of other glamping accommodation, including cosy burrows and cabins. After a busy day outdoors, guests can unwind in the onsite bar with its roaring fireplace. There is also a popular takeaway serving freshly made pizzas, crepes, breakfast rolls and hot drinks daily. A games room keeps families entertained, while the zero-waste shop sells everyday essentials and local produce with an eco-friendly focus. In the summer months, a nearby bus service also helps guests explore the surrounding Lake District without needing to drive. Up to two dogs are permitted per pet friendly pod, and there is even a handy wash area for muddy paws, boots and bikes after countryside adventures. Guests are welcome to use raised BBQs for outdoor cooking. Open fires and fire pits are not allowed.
