Looking for a little bit of Leicestershire luxury? Woodland View Glamping is a fine spot for some of that – the high-spec pods here sit in their own three-acre pasture, with gorgeous rural views all around and plenty of lovely touches both inside and out. The owners of this site have been living here for many years, on a dairy farm that had passed down through several generations. After selling off the main farm business a few years back, they retained this part of the land and dedicated themselves to setting up a couple of glamping pods to allow guests to share in the rural experience. Great attention to detail has gone into this place – and a case in point is the way the pods have been angled to give them the best view of the sunset from the outdoor deck area. Each pod has its own outdoor seating and barbecue/firepit to help you make the most of your outdoor time, with complimentary logs, kindling and matches provided to get your blaze going. Inside, it’s all just as lovely – each pod sleeps up to four (in a double bed and double sofa bed) and has its own kitchen area (with hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge). There’s also an ensuite shower room and a smart TV. Bedding and towels are provided to help you travel light, and you’ll be given a complimentary welcome pack to get you going too. All in all it’s a comfy and stylish stay – but also a rural one, so you’ll be able to see the cows being milked on site, take walks on the bridlepaths by the farm and find country pubs nearby. Dogs are welcome, and can sleep in a secure outdoor kennel by your pod.

Camping pod

Liked: Real glamping. The pod was perfect and has everything you need. Andrew and Janet were very thoughtful hosts. The children loved seeing the cows being milked and helping to feed the lambs and calves.

Local attractions

If you like traditional British food, Melton Mowbray (10 minutes’ drive) should certainly be on your schedule – it’s the home of the classic pork pie and Stilton cheese, both of which make fine inclusions for a picnic. There’s also a farmers’ market on a Friday and plenty of places to eat. For bigger urban adventures, take trips to Leicester (for the National Space Centre and King Richard III Visitor Centre) or Nottingham (for the City of Caves) – both are about half an hour’s drive. Keeping it rural instead, you may like to stroll along the canal path in Hickling Pastures (10 minutes’ drive), visit Belvoir Castle (20 minutes) or wander through Charnwood Forest (half an hour). If you’ve got the kids with you, the rides at Twinlakes Park (15 minutes) make a great day out; if it’s a grownup break perhaps you’d prefer a spa day at Ragdale Hall (10 minutes)?
