Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.

Jane met us on arrival and was so helpful. The on-site deer are inquisitive and came to say hello, a real bonus. Our first time glamping, think we may have stumbled on a gem. Pub just up the road (maybe 3 min walk, no more) with friendly vibe and great food. Lots of unexpected little extras that defo made this WOW!

After heavy snowfall Jane and Phil cleared the snow to make sure it was as safe as possible. Our first Pod holiday and we loved it. Sub-zero temperatures during our stay but we were very comfortable and warm. Even the 'cold dash' to the hot tub was worth it!

From the moment we arrived, our host Jane was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great local recommendations. The pod itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the relaxing hot tub, which was a fantastic way to unwind while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The area around the pod was tranquil, providing a perfect escape and it was magical watching the deer frolick in the distance. Despite the serene setting, we found plenty of exciting places to explore just a short drive away. Whether it was scenic trails or charming local spots, there was no shortage of things to do. To top it off, the personalized touches for our honeymoon were truly special. A welcome with thoughtful goodies, prosecco, Mr & Mrs/congratulations decor and a heartfelt card made our stay even more memorable. Overall, this glamping pod was an ideal choice for our honeymoon, and we canât wait to return!
