Located in tranquil Staffordshire, close to the Derbyshire border and the Peak District National Park, this stylish glamping pod makes the perfect rural escape for couples, small families and their faithful hounds. Nestled within a characterful Georgian walled garden, you’ll have your own private patio with plenty of space for al fresco dining and ball games with Rover.
Bursting with rustic charm, the pod’s curved ceiling, soft neutral tones and thoughtful touches create a snug retreat where tail-waggers can feel right at home. The open-plan design combines lounge, kitchen, dining and sleeping areas, making the setting wonderfully sociable. Unwind on the comfortable sofa (which converts into a bed for two extra guests) while your canine chum curls up at your feet, or throw open the doors and let the countryside air drift in. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to rustle up hearty meals after long walks, and there’s a dining table for enjoying them together. At bedtime, you’ll find a snug single bed at one end of the pod and a double at the other, with a sleek shower room to complete the interior. From your morning coffee to sizzling suppers on the BBQ, the patio is a lovely spot to relax with your furry friend snoozing beside you. The site also offers a shared undercover seating area with a pizza oven, plus an honesty shop selling local produce and homemade treats. Freezer storage is provided, and there’s private parking for two cars just a short stroll away.
When it’s time for adventures, you’ll be spoilt for choice. From gentle countryside strolls to bracing moorland hikes, there are endless trails with exciting scents for four-legged explorers. Just 10 miles away, the Peak District is a paradise of rolling hills, deep dales and open moorland for walkies with your loyal pup. Sudbury Hall (10 miles) welcomes pets on leads, while Carsington Water (13 miles) boasts a range of lakeside trails, birdwatching, cycling, and outdoor activities. Closer to home, the pretty villages of Rocester and Denstone (both under 2 miles) have welcoming dog-friendly pubs where your faithful sidekick can join you for a drink.
