What it really means to be Dog Friendly!

---

To provide as rural and undisturbed an environment as possible, RRR has just 3, stylishly furnished, discreetly sited, en-suite cabins. Two beautiful bespoke Scandinavian pods and one luxury hand crafted Shepherds Hut. These are hidden from view on entering RRR as they reside in a completely separate and enclosed 4 acre meadow whose only other residents are the visiting wildlife. 

Fully insulated, double glazed & with under floor heating, en-suites, kitchenettes & enclosed gardens with out door furniture, guests can relax snug inside & out. 

Enjoy a romantic evening preparing dinner or perhaps you could be temped away from the meadow by one of the very fine pubs, restaurants or takeaways in the nearby villages & market towns.

Please note - we are a dog friendly site & welcome nervous & reactive paws too so you may hear barking at times although our cabins are well screened and private. 

All 3 cabins have their own private, enclosed gardens - perfect for paws! The one pictured above is Shepherds Rest.

Woodpecker pod is the furthest of the 3 and has a wrap around garden with min 1m high stock and rail fencing with additional privacy picket fencing to the front & side.

Bumblebee is to the right as you enter the glamping meadow and has the highest fencing at 1.5m. It also has picket fencing to the front & side, ideal for our more athletic guests.

Shepherds Rest is our show case Shepherds hut and resides to the left as you enter the meadow. The fencing here is 1m high stock fencing with additional 5 ft hazle hurdles to the side for privacy while the hedging establishes. It has the largest of the 3 gardens and also its very own wood fired hot tub. 

All 3 come complete with fire pit; sun loungers, picnic table, parasol and rattan chairs for enjoying that early morning coffee and croissants, late night tipple or summer alfesco dining.! 

Leave your car in the car park, meander along the limestone paths and take time to breathe in the fresh air, listen to the birds singing and the brooks babbling as you cross the wooden footbridge, beyond the tree line and into the secluded meadow beyond.....

Luggage trolleys are provided to enable guests to transport their belongings the short walk,  from the car park to your cabin. 

At Brook Farm, you will notice our hedgerows, paddocks and along side our paths are left to grow naturally over Spring and Summer. We do this to provide a haven for wildlife  - birds, bees, butterflies & all manner of other visiting creatures.  Over Autumn, when we close our doors, our very friendly Swiss Valais black nose sheep and those horses who are grass tolerant enjoy grazing the then vacated paddocks over winter. 

 Enjoy the wonderful rural setting in which Rutland Rural Retreats resides. Take a stroll across the brook and watch the horses meandering, step out onto the Rutland Round for a late night leg stretch, listen to the birds singing or just let the soothing babble of the nearby brook carry your thoughts away. 

Both glamping pods are fully insulated, enjoy underfloor heating, en-suites, heated towel rail, flushing toilet & electric shower; kitchenette with fridge/freezer, two ring hob, combi oven/microwave; double bed, leather sofa, moveable dining and side table. 

Outside you will find sun loungers, parasol,  fire pit/BBQ, picnic table, storage box & rattan seats for enjoying that early morning cuppa or late night tipple on the decking!

To help with your packing....you will also find fans, hairdryer, dog bowls, dog mat, doggy tepee, dog paddling trays, dog toys & board games, books, walking guides & torch. Kitchen utensils, crockery, washing up liquid , cloth, tea towels, shower gel, hand wash, tea, coffee & condiments including some cooking oil are also provided to get you started.
