A peaceful child-free retreat — luxury glamping amongst peaceful woodland and tranquil waters in the Westmorland Dales, Cumbria
An peaceful adults-only retreat nestled in private woodland near Raisbeck, in the Westmorland Dales area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Welcome to Tarn Sike Woodland Retreat — a glamping experience where you can truly switch off and reconnect with nature in the heart of the Westmorland Dales. Our four beautifully appointed pods sit within peaceful private woodland, beside a small lake where you can swim, sit, and simply be still.
Named after the stream that flows through our land from nearby Sunbiggin Tarn, Tarn Sike offers an immersive woodland experience without sacrificing comfort. Each pod features premium amenities including a private outdoor bath, allowing you to soak beneath the stars after a day exploring this remarkable corner of Cumbria. With no disturbances, no compromises — just the sounds of woodland and water.
Just 10 minutes from Junction 38 of the M6, our retreat offers easy access whilst maintaining the seclusion and quiet you came for. Ideally situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park yet only minutes from the Lake District National Park this is your chance to step away from the noise and settle into something slower.
