A spacious, dog-friendly bell tent retreat with a private hot tub, peacefully secluded amongst four acres of magical woodland on a family-run farm in the Peak District.
  • Sleeps: 12
  • Bedrooms: Open plan
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

Ideal for family fun and fresh-air group adventures in the Great Outdoors, Secret Wood Glamping offers just that… cosy accommodation in private woodland that feels just like a magical, well-kept secret!

You’ll discover the duo of luxurious Emperor bell tents nestled by an idyllic running stream, amongst four woodland acres on a friendly Peak District farm that’s been part of the same family for 600 years.

Since there’s no other accommodation on the site, you’ll have all that wonderful space and scenery completely to yourselves. Let the kids and the dog play games and run wild in the open air, or simply curl up with a delicious drink, and listen to the soothing sounds of nature.

The comfy tents sleeps up to six guests each on two double beds and a sofa bed, and with cosy bedding supplied, you can pack perfectly light. With two tents on offer, you can bring your nearest and dearest for an exciting glamping escape for up to twelve guests in total, or you can have just the one tent if you are a smaller party – the choice is delightfully yours!

The natural luxury you’ll find in your slice of woodland paradise continues.. Every last holiday detail has been well and truly covered, so you’ll also have a handy compost loo, a piping hot shower to freshen up in – complete with eco-friendly toiletries – and a log burner to add to the cosy feel.

And as if that wasn’t quite enough, there’s a gorgeous outdoor covered kitchen to help you whip up feasts galore, with cutlery, crockery, fridge, gas stove, and that all-important kettle provided.

You’ll find a welcome hamper ready and waiting for your arrival, with farm-produced barbecue and breakfast packs also available if you’re in the mood for a treat.

More information

Oh, and did we mention that you’ll also be able to enjoy epic sunset-watching and stargazing from the warming comfort of your very own hot tub?

What to do after a sound night’s sleep, and morning coffee to a joyous soundtrack of birdsong?

Well, you could always take the option of doing nothing but get lost in a good book, or savouring those magnificent countryside views, that lead your gaze all the way towards both Sheffield and Chesterfield.

But if you feel like exploring, there’s plenty to see and do in the surrounding area, including family-friendly estate grounds and fun parks, rambling nature trails, and charming places to eat, drink, and be merry in!

Simply light your firepit at the end of another wonderful day of doing exactly what you like, then settle in for an evening of laughter-fuelled storytelling and toasted marshmallows under a star-sprinkled sky.

Holiday life surely doesn’t get much lovelier than this!
