For those seeking a rural escape in Staffordshire, this family-friendly glamping pod sits within a beautifully restored Georgian walled garden between the villages of Rocester and Denstone. Surrounded by peaceful scenery, it is a wonderful base for discovering the region’s walking routes, historic landmarks and charming villages.
Open the patio-style entrance and enter a bright, welcoming interior where the lounge, kitchen, dining and sleeping areas are cleverly combined. The stylish decor takes inspiration from the surrounding countryside, with rich tones, a curved ceiling and warm wooden flooring creating a cosy atmosphere. The cottage-style kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals, while the comfortable sofa is a lovely place to settle in after a day of exploring and can also convert into a bed for two additional guests. At the rear of the pod, a double bed awaits, with a snug single bed positioned at the front. A contemporary shower room completes the accommodation. Outside, the open-front patio creates a sheltered setting for al fresco dining, with seating and a BBQ ready for summer evenings. Guests can also make use of the shared undercover dining area, complete with a pizza oven for cooking and gathering together. An on-site honesty shop sells local produce and handmade items, with freezer storage available. Private parking for two cars is located nearby.
Located close to the Derbyshire border, the surrounding area is filled with rolling landscapes, ancient houses and scenic viewpoints. Outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with the Peak District National Park 10 miles away, where wild moorland, dramatic valleys and countless trails await. History lovers can visit Sudbury Hall and the National Trust Museum of Childhood (10 miles), while Carsington Water (13 miles) is a great destination for sailing, windsurfing, birdwatching and countryside strolls.
