Who, where and what are Rutland Rural Retreats?
Nestled in an area of beautiful undulating hills, Rutland Rural Retreats is a very small, adult only, super dog friendly, rural glamping site which came to life in July 2022 when owners Clare Farmer and Kirsty Brooks opened the doors to share this peaceful, tranquil haven with others. With just two glamping pods and one Shepherds Hut, all discreetly sited for privacy and with enclosed gardens, you truly can just relax and unwind in tranquil surroundings with your canine companions.
Time after time the calming and revitalising affect of staying at the 15 acre small holding in Rutland, had been relayed to friends and family that Clare & Kirsty wanted to share the experience with other like minded, animal loving people who would value a place where they could escape, recharge and reconnect. No sooner do people arrive at the gate, see the beautiful backdrop, the animals quietly grazing and playing nearby, listen to the sound of the birds and the brooks and take a breath in......., that the daily stresses and toils of every day life just melt away. They really, really do! Not only that but there is so much to do and see in and around Rutland and Leicestershire. It's such an amazing place to visit!
At Rutland Rural Retreats - you really can just escape and relax. Set off the beaten track, secluded from view within a beautiful, private 4 acre meadow and bordered by an array of hedgerows, trees and brooks. Our small, dog friendly, glamping retreat has just 3 hand crafted, en-suite, heated, glamping units, ideal for that romantic break, time out, well earned rest or just that chance to combine the great outdoors, your canine companions and a touch of luxury. With 1m high stock and rail enclosed gardens and plenty of space and greenery between both pods and Shepherds Rest, you and your canine companions really can relax in comfort, away from prying eyes. Nervous or reactive dogs, no problem. Reviews speak for themselves with Woodpecker being our furthest and a firm favourite for those with canine companions that need a little extra space.

Enjoy the tranquillity and healing powers of the countryside and take in a much slower pace of life while you relax in the comfort and privacy of one of our 3 beautiful glamping units.
RRR has been designed to provide an environment that will help instil a sense of peace, relaxation and tranquillity and provide a sanctuary where you can get away with a loved one and your dogs (if you have them!) Put your phone on silent, crack open a bottle, stick a log in the fire pit and unwind and re-charge in the heart of beautiful surroundings.

Both our adult only, dog friendly glamping pods have been individually designed and crafted and are fully equipped with kitchenette, living and dining space, en-suites with flushing toilet and electric shower and underfloor heating.
Your outside space provides individually enclosed gardens with all you need to dine and relax under the stars whilst enjoying a glass of something chilled as you listen to the crackle of the fire pit.
On chillier days guests can relax and dine inside the heated pods or take advantage of the numerous pubs and restaurants that our locality has to offer.
