Riverside glamping pods on a working farm beside the Lancaster Canal in Catterall
Outdoor Grounds
Orchard Glamping occupies a wildflower meadow at Sturzaker Hall Farm, with the Lancaster Canal and a fast-running stream bordering the site. The three pods-Bramble, Willow, and Blossom-have private enclosed gardens with garden furniture, a brick-built barbecue, and a fire pit. Guests have exclusive use of the field, wood, and riverbank, plus access to the hedgehog sanctuary and bird feeders.
Pods and Accommodation
The Blossom pod has a dishwasher, a two-burner gas hob, a combo microwave cooker, a fridge, and an en-suite shower. Family rooms at Orchard Glamping include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, dining areas, sofa beds, and parquet floors. Underfloor heating and garden views are provided, and bedding and towels are supplied.
Location and Local Attractions
The site is in Catterall, next to Garstang and the Forest of Bowland. Trough of Bowland is 21 km away, Blackpool Tower and Pleasure Beach are 25 km away, and Lancaster University is 16 km from the property. Manchester Airport is 82 km distant, and a 40-minute walk along the Lancaster Canal reaches Garstang's shops, pubs, and restaurants.
