1 Bedroom Lodge in Austwick

Escape to this stylish glamping pod sitting in a peaceful pocket of countryside between the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland - just 4 miles from the market town of Settle. It's perfect for couples or solo travellers who are in search of a back-to-nature retreat where they can swap the everyday grind for wide-open skies and birdsong. Wake up and set off to conquer Pen-y-ghent (10 miles), one of the celebrated Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, then reward your efforts with a well-earned pint and a hearty meal in one of Settle's traditional pubs. Alternatively, head in5o Ingleton (7 miles) to follow its famous waterfalls trail, or venture underground at White Scar Cave (8 miles). Further afield, make a beeline for Skipton (19.5 miles), where a medieval castle presides over a bustling high street.

Take a few steps up to your glamping pod and step inside to find a bright, open-plan space that makes clever use of every corner. Natural light, sleek styling and pale wood-effect flooring create a calm, contemporary feel throughout. Whip up your favourite dishes in the compact kitchen area, which is fitted with smart dark units and a solid wood worktop, and then pull up a chair to share a casual meal at the handy fold-down dining table. There's a desk area too, along with a pair of comfy tub chairs, and bi-folding doors that open straight out onto the decking. At the far end of the pod, a double bed with a Smart TV creates a cosy retreat to unwind in. A separate shower room sits just 10 metres from your pod.

Step out onto your private decking, which is sheltered beneath a smart slatted pergola and surrounded by the forest, and you’ll find that a whole wellness ritual awaits. Sink into the sunken hot tub and let the tension melt away, fire up the barrel sauna, and then brave the invigorating cold plunge, before you rinse off under the copper rain shower. Stretch out on a sun lounger with a good book or fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco at the table. Private parking is available for 1 vehicle.
