Glamping holidays in Rutland, East Leicestershire

---

To provide as rural and undisturbed an environment as possible, RRR has just three, 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 and with under floor heating, en-suites & kitchenettes, guests can relax snug inside on those chillier autumn evenings. 

Enjoy a romantic evening preparing dinner alfresco or perhaps something more adventurous. We know many guests have even cooked up a roast! Want to indulge? Perhaps you could be temped away from the meadow by one of the very fine pubs and restaurants in the nearby villages or the beautiful, historic market town - Uppingham which is just a 5 minute drive?

On sunnier days, the enclosed gardens provide a tranquil and relaxing space for both two legged and four legged guests. Many find they can't drag themselves away!

All three offerings have their own private, enclosed gardens.

Woodpecker pod is the furthest of the 3 and has a wrap around garden with 1m high stock and rail fencing.

Bumblebee pod is to the right as you enter the glamping meadow and new for 2025 has higher fencing at 1.5m, 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 stock fencing and 1m high. It has the largest of the three gardens and also its very own wood fired hot tub. 

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

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 romantic stroll or leg stretch with your paws, listen to the birds singing or just let the soothing babble of the nearby brook carry your thoughts away.

Leave your car behind, 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 meadow beyond.....

To keep the experience as rural as possible, cars are kept out of the glamping field in purpose built limestone car park. Luggage trolleys are provided to enable guests to transport their belongings the short walk, along the winding paths from the car park to your accommodation. 

At Brook Farm, you will notice our hedgerows, our paddocks and along side our paths are left to grow naturally over Spring and Summer. We do this on purpose to provide a haven for wildlife  - birds, bees, butterflies & all manner of other visiting animals.  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 and lower sugar mixed species meadow hay over winter. Nothing is wasted at Brook Farm and the land is managed naturally and without the use of chemicals and fertislizers, This is for the well being of our animals and the environment for which we are care takers. 

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

Outside you will find sun loungers, a fire pit, 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 a fan, hairdryer, dog bowls, dog mat, doggy tipee, dog toys & board games, books, walking guides and torch in the units.
