There was only one other small pod in use and the housekeeping had completed the cleaning of that by 10.30am. Especially in the off peak week day season these could be adjusted slightly. Going by that example we could've had more time in our pod on our entry and exit days. It was very nice to have the cookies, coffee and tea etc however there was no milk so these were somewhat unusable until we had to travel back to Ingleton to get milk. We had a short power cut which was resolved very quickly by the owners which was appreciated. Overall a beautiful location, pods were modern, clean and well set up. I would put these in the 4 star bracket but little things such as milk or even small toiletries would have made the difference to make it a 5 star to us. Highly recommend for a quiet staycation with plenty of walks and a great pub 3/4 mile walk under Ribblehead Viaduct. Great video of pods on Instagram under Sykescottages

The space is very generous and the pod is very well equipped and beautifully decorated with cool modern touches. Plenty to do in the area during the day and a lovely local pub serving super tasty food! The hot tub was great for relaxing in during the evening after lots of walking and exploring during the day. Would definitely recommend and we would love to re visit in the future.

! We have just returned from a weeks stay in lapwing and I couldnât recommend this place enough to anyone wanting peace, quiet and luxury all at once. The pods are spectacular and all the little extras make it incredible. The surrounding area is breathtaking and sitting in a hot tub watching the clouds roll in over the peaks is spectacular. Canât wait to book again and return.
