Tucked away in peaceful Staffordshire, close to the Derbyshire border and the Peak District National Park, this stylish glamping pod is a dreamy escape for couples, small families and their faithful hounds. Set within a shared Georgian walled garden, with your own patio area, there’s plenty of space for al fresco dining and ball games with Fido too.
Full of rustic charm, the pod’s curved ceiling, neutral tones and thoughtful touches create a snug retreat where everyone feels instantly at ease. The open-plan layout includes a lounge, kitchen, dining and sleeping area. Curl up on the comfortable sofa (which can also convert into a bed for two extra guests) while your canine companion rests at your feet, or throw open the front door and let the countryside breeze drift in. The kitchen has all the essentials for rustling up hearty meals after long walks, with a dining table ready for sociable mealtimes. Sleeping arrangements include a cosy single bed at one end of the pod and a double at the other, while a contemporary shower room completes the interior. From morning coffee to evening BBQs, the private front patio is a lovely spot to soak up the scenery with your furry friend by your side. The site also offers a shared undercover seating area with a pizza oven – great for relaxed evenings – plus an honesty shop selling local produce and homemade treats. With freezer storage available and private parking for two cars just a short stroll away, everything you need is close to hand.
From gentle countryside strolls to full-on moorland hikes, there’s no shortage of trails to set tails wagging. The Peak District (10 miles) boasts endless open spaces, rolling green hills, and winding dales – a true paradise for walkers and their four-legged sidekicks. For history and culture, Sudbury Hall welcomes pets on a lead (10 miles), while Carsington Water (13 miles) is perfect for pets who love the great outdoors, with walking, cycling, birdwatching and water sports to enjoy. Closer to home, the pretty villages of Rocester and Denstone are less than 2 miles away, with dog-friendly pubs where your four-pawed pal can snooze under the table while you tuck in.
