Treat your special someone to an adventurous break away at this pretty glamping pod sitting in a peaceful complex of farm properties just 3 miles from Ashbourne. Sleeping two people in one sleeping area, it’s perfect for happy couples who are searching for a stylish glamping retreat they can call home while they explore Peak District together. Spend happy days hiking along the High Peak Trail, or trying your hand at kayaking at Carsington Water, and in the evening, come home to your glamping hideaway to share a romantic BBQ dinner on your pod’s beautiful decked area.
From your private parking spot, follow the path to your hand-built pod, which is nestled among towering hawthorn trees. Step inside and you’ll find a cosy open-plan layout with rustic oak flooring, a plush double bed and a cleverly designed kitchenette. If you love al fresco dining, step out onto your decked area, fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine while you soak up the scenic valley views. Afterwards, snuggle up at the fire pit to toast marshmallows while the stars come out. At the end of the day, fall into your double bed for a good night’s sleep – and you’ll wake up to stunning views looking out across the Atlow Valley. You’ll find additional shared facilities just a few steps away, including two private heated shower rooms, an information room with an honesty shop, books, games, maps and super-fast WiFi, and a covered outdoor kitchen with gas hobs and a Belfast sink.
Lace up your boots and head off to Carsington Water (5 miles) to hike the 8-mile trail around the reservoir. Stop off at the birdwatching hides, or try your hand at windsurfing. Further afield, explore the magnificent Chatsworth House (15 miles), a grand stately home with a fabulous art collections and beautiful, landscaped gardens.
