  • Adults-only lakeside glamping site in a quiet Nottinghamshire village
  • Five minutes' walk from the river Trent; Newark 30 minutes' drive
  • Free angling available on site, with 25 pegs; private hot tubs
The name 'Peacock Lake Glamping' is an appropriately resplendent one for this gorgeous lakeside location in Nottinghamshire, where guests can treat themselves to cosy adults-only pod stays just five minutes' walk from the banks of the river Trent. Set back from the main road at the end of a peaceful close in the pretty village of Gunthorpe, this site is part of a well-established fishery that has been popular with local anglers for more than three decades. The lake was formed when gravel was dug to build Gunthorpe Bridge in the village, and today it's a popular 25-peg property with several varieties of coarse fish, including carp. All of this is free to enjoy for glamping guests. The smart ensuite accommodation on offer here is equally enticing, with a comfy double bed, well-equipped kitchen, TV, bedding and towels all coming as standard. Moving outside, there's a spacious decking area with seating where you can soak up the peaceful atmosphere, and – arguably best of all – you have access to a private luxury hot tub just for the two of you. Away from base, you can take a stroll down to the village's handful of pubs in just a few minutes, or alternatively drive a couple of miles north to Lowdham, where there are food shops and more eateries.

Local attractions

A well-maintained path runs along this stretch of the river Trent, opening up lots of opportunities for scenic cycling and walking from base. Other pleasant strolling spots such as Gedling Country Park (10 minutes' drive) and Cotgrave Country Park (10 minutes) are within easy reach too, as are the serene surrounds of Holme Pierrepont Country Park (20 minutes), home to the ever-popular National Water Sports Centre. Getting into the centre of Nottingham to see its castle or check out the shops is simple enough as well, as Peacock Lake Glamping is just over 20 minutes' drive from the city centre. Alternatively, you can get there by bus from the village in about half an hour, or by train in about a quarter of an hour from Lowdham (connected to the village by an A road, but walking or cycling to the station is safe enough thanks to a segregated dual-use path). Other options include Newark (30 minutes), a pretty market town with museums, monuments and lots of independent shops, and Southwell (15 minutes), where there's a golf course, racecourse and handsome 900-year-old minster to explore.

1 bedroom camping pod (lake view)

Liked: From the first minute we arrived we felt very welcome, Helen and Carl very friendly hosts showed us around and let us know about local shops,pubs,restaurants etc. We stayed in the Morhen pod, which overlooks the lake, fantastic view, even more so with the early morning sun beaming. Me and my wife were there to relax (and me to fish), and that’s exactly what we did. The pod itself was fantastic, everything you needed inside to survive a getaway was there, oven, fridge, kettle, comfortable seating, comfy bed, hot shower, towels and bath robes also included, a good Wi-Fi signal and speed, Netflix provided on the TV also. Outside the pod there was a table and chairs for dining, sun lounges to lay about on and a hot tub to relax in, also a good sized comfortable swing chair with which you could sit and take in the scenic view of the site’s beautiful lake with the calming sounds of nature. Whilst my wife took the opportunity to just sit and relax, I grabbed the chance to do a spot of fishing, we stayed from Monday to Friday, weekends seem to be the busiest, so I was lucky to have the whole lake to myself, the lake itself which is an old match lake has multiple swims which are decked, it is well stocked and you WILL catch fish, I had 2 great days fishing within my stay and was happy with my haul of 80+ fish ranging between 2-10lb the fish are all in good shape and can see that they are well looked after. There is also an on-site socialising/games room area with a pool table and darts board, bar and outside seating area. Which we didn’t really take advantage of as we were to busy relaxing and doing nothing 😁 Overall the place is lovely, just the place to get away from the stresses of everyday life for a while, peaceful, clean, with friendly hosts, we will definitely be staying again in the future.

1 bedroom camping pod (lake view)

Liked: The hosts were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The attention to detail in the pod was outstanding all the space was used without being over crowded. The shower was amazing hot and powerful. The bed was extremely comfy and crisp fresh sheets with blankets for extra comfort. the hot tub was well maintained everyday by the host insuring was always clean and hot. the grounds where beautifully presented with pretty flowers and think bushes for privacy between pods. there was a amazing water feature in the grounds with the relaxing sounds of trickling water added to the tranquil atmosphere. we stayed in moorhen pod and the views of the the river where stunning. with a lovely swinging bench and loungers to soak up the beaming sunshine. this place has so much to offer with a lovely pub with a view of the river and a superb brassiere with exceptional food. also only a short walk to the nearby village which had four lovely country pubs all serving food and a train station to get to they nearby city of Nottingham where we went to watch the cricket. defiantly would stay here again and made our cricket weekend away even better.

1 bedroom camping pod (lake view)

Liked: I would highly recommend Peacock Lake Glamping. Just come back from a 2 night stay. The pods were so lovely. The bed was comfy. We loved the basket next to the bed for our phones. Nice little touches. Spacious, clean and very modern. They have a private hot tub with a lovely decking area thats by the lake. Such a nice view to look out on to. The owners were so lovely and there to help with any questions we had. Would definitely go again 😊
