Tucked away in peaceful Staffordshire, close to the Derbyshire border and the Peak District National Park, this stylish glamping pod is a wonderful countryside escape for couples, small families and their loyal hounds. Set within a beautiful Georgian walled garden, with your own private patio, there’s ample space for al fresco dining and games of fetch before you all settle in for the evening.
Full of rustic charm, the pod’s curved ceiling, soft neutral decor and homely touches create a warm and inviting place where tail-waggers will feel right at home. The open-plan design features a lounge, kitchen, dining and sleeping area all in one. Sink into the plush sofa (which can convert into a bed for two extra guests) while your canine companion curls up at your feet. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking hearty meals after long walks, and the dining table is perfect for sharing them together. Sleeping arrangements include a snug single bed at one end of the pod and a double at the other, while a modern shower room completes the retreat. From your morning coffee to sizzling suppers on the BBQ, the patio is a lovely spot to sit back with your furry friend by your side. On-site, you'll also find a shared undercover seating area with a pizza oven, plus an honesty shop stocked with local produce and homemade goodies. With freezer space provided and parking for two cars just a short stroll away, everything is conveniently close at hand.
When it comes to adventures, you’ll be spoilt for choice. From gentle countryside strolls to full-day hikes, there are endless trails with plenty to sniff out along the way. The Peak District (10 miles) offers rolling hills and wild dales – a paradise for walkers and their four-pawed pals. For a dose of history, head to Sudbury Hall (10 miles), where pets on leads are welcome, or explore Carsington Water (13 miles), packed with lakeside trails and outdoor fun. Closer to home, the friendly villages of Rocester and Denstone (both under 2 miles) await for a pint in a dog-friendly pub while your faithful friend relaxes at your feet.
