Go glamping at this lakeside escape in the village of Gunthorpe, staying in a charming pod with ample outdoor space and tranquil views across the water. Well-arranged to host two guests, this couple’s escape features a handcrafted, studio-style lodge with plenty of room to spread out and outdoor adventure on its doorstep. Set off exploring the idyllic fields and country lanes of rural Nottinghamshire before coming home to soak the day away in your private hot tub or get competitive in the shared on-site games room.
Find your spot in the shared car park and make your way over to the property. The outdoor space consists of a thoroughly furnished decked area, featuring a table and chairs and a covered chair swing, plus a hot tub tucked down the side of the property, enclosed by a wall of natural foliage. Inside, find everything you’ll need arranged in one room, with distinct spaces for relaxing, cooking, dining and sleeping. The plush sofa sits opposite a wall-mounted Smart TV; you’ve got a breakfast bar right by the kitchen, and the double bed is tucked into a cosy corner at the back. A full-sized bathroom – including both a shower and a separate bath – is just next door.
Stay on-site and get stuck into some fishing, utilising the lake that’s just opposite your abode. Wander through the village to reach the footpaths on the edge of the River Trent (250 metres), following the calm waters deep into the surrounding countryside. Visit Gedling Country Park (5 miles), a rich wildlife habitat with 580 acres of open parkland, before dropping down into Nottingham city centre (8.5 miles) to end your day with a fantastic local restaurant or a trip to the cinema or theatre.
