  • Adults-only glamping pod 10 minutes’ stroll from Belton in Rutland
  • Uppingham 10 minutes’ drive and Burghley House half an hour
  • Dog-friendly accommodation with a securely fenced outdoor space
Looking for a luxury retreat that is both adults only and dog friendly? Sounds like Rutland Rural Retreats, tucked into a peaceful meadow 10 minutes’ stroll from the pretty conservation village of Belton in Rutland in England’s smallest country of Rutland. The swish little pod comes fully equipped with kitchenette, living and dining space as well as an electric shower in the ensuite. Thoughtful touches include complimentary tea and coffee, shower gel and an electric fan to keep you cool on hotter days. Your outside space also has its own picnic table, so you can dine under the stars and enjoy a glass of something chilled while rustling up supper on the barbecue. On chillier days, relax in the pod’s heated interior, or slope off to one of the pubs within 10 minutes’ drive. Rutland Rural Retreats is very much a canine-loving place, so a dog mat, bowl, toys and a drying-off mitt are supplied, along with some doggy treats. The pod also has a fenced garden to ensure that your pet is safe and secure. Access to the camping meadow is via a track to the car park, and then a short stroll with your luggage over a bridge. Horses and cute Valais Blacknose sheep graze in adjacent fields so keep dogs on a lead until you reach your pod. Please do not feed the animals – even carrots and apples can kill.
