Alma Meadow Glamping

As tempting as it is just to let your eyes wander over pics of the stunning glamping pods at Alma Meadow Glamping, don’t get carried away for too long. There’s much more you need to know about these well-maintained, family-friendly glamping pods…

To start, they’re just five minutes’ drive away from the Coast to Coast cycle path, a fabulous trail running through the local (and faraway) countryside. Beamish, the Living Museum of the North, is also five minutes’ drive away. Its reconstructed village, town and farm venues bring life in the northeast between the 1820s and 1950s back to life for visitors.

Country pubs are something that go happily hand-in-hand with laidback lodge holidays, and handily there are lots within a short walking or driving distance of the site, including one half an hour’s walk away in High Hold.

If you don’t fancy switching on the car engine too often, it’s good to know there’s a bus stop on the main road under 10 minutes’ walk away from the lodges. There’s also a small shop and a golf course within five minutes’ walk of the lodges.

The word ‘pretty’ might not quite cut it for the accommodation at Alma Meadow Glamping – these dog-friendly pods are set in stunning countryside and each one has a wooden front balcony where you can soak up the scenery. Inside, each pod has an ensuite bathroom and a mini kitchen, with a TV, bed linen and towels all provided. There’s a play area in the grounds with swings and a slide for the kids’ play times.

Sleep 2 adults and 2 small children.
