Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Amazing little find. We have family in the area and wanted to stay over before a long drive home. This was just perfect. Glamping is something we've always wanted to try and I have to say we will be coming back here again. Everything was clean, access was easy. We included breakfast and the onsite café (The 68 Cafe) was really good as well. Top marks all round.
Leaving! :)
Excellent location, close to both Kynren and town centre. Comfortable pod with everything one could want or expect - including bed linen, tea, coffee, milk, washing up liquid, shampoo and shower gel. The adjacent cafe served food of really great quality, for a very reasonable cost - added bonus was 10% saving for pod occupants (it should be advertised in the pod, though!). Also, the staff were friendly and most responsive to our requirements.
Advertise the 10% discount on cafe food within the pod!
The cabin at Country Glamping was the perfect spot for our stopover on the way to Scotland. Clean, very comfortable, a lovely scenic setting, not to mention a fantastic breakfast! Will definitely come and stay again. Highly recommend The Bishop's Lodge nearby (about a 10 minute drive) great food and service, good value too.
Not a complaint, only a comment...it would have been nice to have an area when dogs could run freely.
Easy check in, good location and very comfortable for 1 night
The pre check in form was difficult to access and it would have been better if it was sent the day before as we were driving and had no wifi or reliable phone signal.
Great pods, good parking & waste disposal, different and characterful.
Lack of storage - we had luggage for 2 weeks in uk and nowhere to put it We had a query regarding payment for breakfast on our last day and the company did not respond to my message via Booking. Make sure you get an email confirming your breakfast entitlement!
Lovely and clean and compact.

Easy check in and check out, clean, comfortable, lovely views. Quite close to Kynren and Raby Castle.
Empty shower gel, hand soap and shampoo containers meant we had to get these thinga from the supermarket.
Location was beautiful
Play dough stuck to the rug Not clean under bed Did not supply regular milk only soya or almond milk
Access codes and clear instructions provided, so late arrival was not an issue. Site is very quiet despite being close to an A road. Stay was very comfortable and warm. Plenty of room. We only stayed one night after a whole day at Kynren so didn't make use of the facilities available, but the brochure looked promising. Also liked that even though it was a weekend in the summer holidays there was no minimum booking. One night was permitted.
Excellent location, pod was really comfy and nicely decorated, check in check out was easy
On an evening the pod would get very very hot so had to sleep with the windows open, not a massive deal but then flys and spiders would come in
Location was ideal for our visit to Kynren
Some Road noise in the morning
The area,view and all round decor
Lovely place - pod had everything you would need and was well laid out. We arrived late at night so didn't see the lovely view and the horses until the morning so it was a lovely surprise. We had a really nice breakfast at the Cafe on site.
Had a bit if a hiccup with the access code but it was easily sorted with a phone call.
Spotlessly clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Really impressed with our overnight visit and would have liked to have stayed a bit longer. On site cafe is fabulous with friendly, hard-working staff. Would happily stay here again.
Nothing - all good.
Lovely location, comfy bed, a great place to unwind.
provide information about using the oven and other facilities which didnt need internet, as the wifi was down the first night.
Lovely location and views. Very easy to find and access on your own. Love the decor in the pod and bed was very comfortable. Cafe 68 was very close by and the food was great. Will definately stay again if we're up in the area.
My fault for not checking the content list beforehand, but they don't supply a hairdryer.
The staff were helpful and sorted out small matters
As we have had a lot of extreme heat it would be nice to have Fans to cope with the heat , but that is not the fault of anyone,
3rd visit to Country Glamping, we were there this time at the time of the eclipse, obviously nothing like the 1999 one but perfect place for viewing it. As always lovely and quiet, clean and wonderful views across towards weardale. Each glamping pod has it's own dedicated wifi router with really good strong free Internet connection. All pods are fully equipped for cooking your own meals, and the luxury pods include a dishwasher. As usual breakfast in the 68 Café attached to the site was a great start to the following morning 🌄. Another point is that should you expect to arrive early the Café does really nice and good value meals. Be sure to arrive early enough as they close around 16.30.
Nothing to dislike.
Really lovely quiet location with amazing PODs
Great breakfast. Excellent location for our trip.
Beautiful glamping pods in a lovely setting. Everything we needed, immaculately clean with a very comfortable bed. Great setting, lovely cafe on site
Nothing to dislike
Good value for money very nice
The sofa bed was very uncomfortable .
Location with lovely outlook. Well resourced kitchen area. Comfortable bed. Wi-Fi reliable. Communication from host.
Smaller than expected (based on photos). Dirty shower with only warm water. Very noisy people in pod next door (not the fault of the host but it spoilt the mood and nobody else around to speak to about it)
Very clean, comfortable and peaceful
I have never stayed in a glamping pod before and it was lovely
Beautiful, clean accommodation. Everything we needed for a nights stay.
Nothing
Great location, easy to find, nice and quiet.
Generally lovely, nice and tidy but the floor and and sofa weren't too clean.
Loved the overall feel of the property, field opposite had horses which the kids really enjoyed
Great site lovely pods well equipped. Food at the cafe was really good

Second visit lovely place to go for wonderful views and peace
Having stayed previously, we decided to have a quiet night away again, only issue this time was a young family with 2 sons, mum had obviously had enough of them and told dad to take them outside and wear them out, just a shame he decided it would be managed by playing football as far away from their own pod, and play noisily outside our pod, however as unhappy stare from our porch seemed to put a stop to it 😉
Convenient and clean stopover for us.
2 TVs in the pod but no working remote control. Salt and pepper not filled.
The glamping pods are beautifully presented . Clean and spacious with everything you need for a short stay.
The only thing we found was the sofa bed was a little uncomfortable for my daughter. Maybe her personal taste but a topper would have been great to soften it.
Property and ambience is nice.Kitchen and toilet was very clean. Facilities given was good.
Too much dust inside the bedroom and sofa. Was sneezing when used the bedsheets
Clean great location quiet
Thq quite
Location is fabulous, wonderful views really peaceful.

Need new mattress in pod 4
Quiet and peaceful location The pod, very well equipped and comfortable The breakfast
All plates and cutlery etc needed cleaning before use No gate on decking area
We loved everything - the location is quiet, the pods are beautiful and the facilities are lovely! We especially liked that it has a separate bedroom so one person could stay up without disturbing the other! Having a bathroom as part of the pod is so very nice - not having to go across to a toilet and shower block!
Nothing!
We liked the view of the countryside and how easy it was to drive to local attractions and walks. We also liked how modern the pod was and the food at the cafe. The staff were friendly and helpful.
We were disappointed that the yoga/exercise tent had been removed, and the proximity of the main road to the pod.
Location is great out the way but also close to the essential that you’ll need. The view from the pod was absolutely stunning!
Bit of rusting the shower just could do with some tlc
Layout, location. Facilities.

Wonderfully clean and inviting. Four of us stayed and plenty of room.
Everything was fabulous.
Pod itself was well equipped, reasonably clean.
Not as advertised, there were no “domes”, was advertised as two domes that have yoga and kids area. There was an empty muddy area where they once stood. No communication that they were no longer there, the welcome pack still advertised them. On main roads, so didn’t feel safe to walk with kids anywhere. Pod itself just looked onto other pods. No contact from the owners despite calling several times and messaging. The sofa bed, bedding left under the bed and needed to be made up, did not look the cleanest sofa bed. No comment for the breakfast option as we packed up the same night and left, overall very disappointing. Confused about the reviews, seems to be a very different experience!
Location. It was bit windy but we could enjoy the Sunrise and sunset which was beautiful.
No walkways around
Clean and comfortable also peaceful
Nothing everything was brilliant only thing we really missed the dome that used to be there was lovely to go into on a night
Surprisingly roomy, really nice
Lacking a little in cutlery 1 teaspoon only - other than that everything was good
The breakfast was really lovely
Nothing everything was great
Excellent stay, the pod had everything we needed. Check in & out was effortless, excellent communication and breakfast on site at Cafe 68 if wanted 😊
Would have liked a little gate on the patio to secure it for our dog, its open on one side. But that's just a personal choice
Very clean , fully equipped Gorgeous surroundings Very peaceful

Clean, tidy, well facilitated with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Could not work tHE TV
It was a lovely little space especially for one person and had everything I needed-great wifi, large sofa, good telly reception and an excellent shower. Also a great view to wake up to. Quiet.
The mattress was a little soft for me but that's down to personal taste.
Really clean and comfortable. Brilliant shower, blinds really kept mid summer light out
The wind! It was blowing a gale up there! No facilities on site after 4pm.

The pod was clean and comfortable, check in was easy and communication was timely and helpful. The 68 Cafe breakfast was excellent and it was good to have this as part of the package.
The location was okay but there were no accessible walks nearby which would have been nice.
Great site... we'll maintained and pods were very cute...
Frying pan that was provided was not compatible with the induction hob... had to cook my steak in a saucepan!
Beautifully designed pods. Lovely outside space for children to play.
We booked on the basis that there would be a chill out zone and yoga/workout pod. Neither of these were available when we arrived. They were being took down which was such a disappointment. We feel like we should of been told this when we booked.
Lovely view of horse field nice staff
Nothing
Spacious even with a family of 5
Clean , comfortable, good location for what we needed. Quiet , peaceful. Good breakfast including at the cafe .
Amazing location and views, great staff and the bed was very comfortable. We included the breakfast and it was great. Will be staying again!
The facilities, the breakfast and the staff were all amazing.
Very cute, with everything we needed for a 1 night stopover.
I think the mattress could be a bit better quality, or even a foam one.
Breakfast great
The toilet had wee in it , apart from that perfect
It wasour first time glamping and we really enjoyed it
Nice and cosy! Very well equipped
Nothing
Convenient location and secure site. Extremely well equipped for such a compact space. Super comfy bed. Very clean. Lovely bathroom. Second time we’ve stayed with our 2 small dogs, once in November and in February, when it was cold outside but it was so cosy and warm. We will definitely stay again.
Amazing little pod, bed super comfortable, great location
Everything
The pods were spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, the view is superb! The staff were extremely quick to respond to messages.
I cant find anything i didnt like!
Clean Well equipped Comfortable
The addition of a hot tub would be fab The yoga pod appeared to be inaccessible as it was fenced off due to upgrading/maintenance
Scenic area Amazing views Peaceful Spacious pod
Extremely uncomfortable beds Mattress thin could feel all springs and base of bed Sofa bed the same very hard and uncomfortable Had the worst nights sleep which was a shame
Very clean spacious cosy

Der Pod ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet und verfügt über eine vollständige Küchenausstattung. Das gesamte Gelände war sehr gepflegt. Zudem ist die Lage sehr gut, um alle Ziele in der Region zu erreichen.
Wir empfehlen, im Pod noch eine Garderobe zu integrieren, den Fernseher anders zu platzieren und zusätzlich zu den Online-Infos per QR-Code auch eine gedruckte Informationsmappe anzubieten. Wir persönlich fühlten uns durch die flächendeckende Videoüberwachung im Außenbereich in unserer Privatsphäre eingeschränkt.
The views The onsite cafe
The glamping pod ended up being better than expected. It was very cozy and comfortable, with it being very clean and warm. The shower was also very powerful and warm. The location was perfect for where we needed to be the following day. The Wi-Fi was of a strong signal and very easy to access. Car Parking was nearby and safe, with having a barrier to stop anyone coming in. With being due to move to the area very soon, i will be recommending all family or friends to stay here in the future.

Very comfortable, good sized glamping pod. Great to have a cafe so close. Well looked after communal areas. Bed in main bedroom was so comfortable. Well equipped.
Pull out sofa bed was uncomfortable. Couldn't take our dog into the cafe so we had to have takeaway breakfast - food was great though.
The location and the view were unbelievable! The pod is very confortable, cosy and clean. We loved it! Free parking
Very spaces and clean. Located in the countryside. Close to the main road but couldn't really hear the traffic

Nous avons passé une nuit dans deux pods, confortables et bien au chaud. Les propriétaires ont gentiment ouvert le café plus tôt pour le petit déjeuner, merci beaucoup. Mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner anglais, délicieux!
It was a very clean, well maintained lodge. Everything we needed was provided for us.
There's nothing to comment as it was all great.
