Relax in style at this bespoke glamping pod sitting on a tranquil adults-only site on the banks of the River Trent in Gunthorpe. Sitting just 10 miles from Nottingham, it sleeps two people in one double bed, and is perfect for couples who are searching for a quiet waterside retreat to call home while they spend their days walking along the riverside or fishing the lake together. You can join the Trent Valley Way straight from your door, so climb the bluff up to East Bridgford (1.5 miles) and you’ll discover a Grade I-listed church dating back to the 11th century. Alternatively, follow the river downstream to the sailing lakes at Hoveringham (2 miles), or head into the market town of Bingham (3.5 miles) to browse the stalls at the weekly market. In the evening, come home to sink into your private hot tub under a starry sky.
Pull into your private parking space and step inside your bespoke glamping pod. You'll find a bright and chic open-plan space with curving ceilings. Cook up a meal for two in the kitchen area and eat at the breakfast bar, or head out onto your private patio and dine alfresco. Afterwards, treat yourself to a dip in the hot tub, have a little fun in the site’s shared games’ room, or head back indoors to stretch out in front of the Smart TV. A double bed and a private en-suite shower room complete the layout. In the morning, grab a coffee and head out onto the patio to take a seat in the swing chair or stretch out on a lounger to enjoy a little morning sun before you head off for a peaceful day at the fishing lake.
Head into Southwell (8 miles) to see its Norman minster and the extraordinary 13th-century foliage carvings in its chapter house. Or make your way into Nottingham (10 miles) to visit the castle, and then treat yourself to a good dinner.
