About the site

This family run glamping site is set on a working farm with amazing elevated views over the surrounding countryside. Just five minutes outside of the Peak District National Park, the site's location means you can reach some of the area's top attractions and towns within a 20 minute drive! If holidaying as a couple, the Rambler pods sleep up to two with a double bed. For families of four, the camping cabins include a double bed with cushioned seating that can be used as beds for little ones, or you can bring along your own inflatable beds to use in the open plan space. The glamper camping pods are the largest option onsite, sleeping up to five with a double bed and a separate double bed with a single bunk. All of the pods include simple essentials like a heater, WiFi, plug sockets, lighting and a kettle for making your morning brew. Do note, bedding and linen are not provided so be sure to pack your own. Shared toilets and showers are a short walk from the pods, with a freezer for ice packs too. Evenings onsite can be spent enjoying a BBQ or fire pit, just please ensure these are raised from the ground. The Peak Edge Hotel and Red Lion Restaurant is also within a 25 minute walk if you would rather dine out. Canine companions can join you too, with up to two dogs permitted per glamping unit. The site is also home to a range of privately owned static caravans, with plots available to purchase.
