Hidden away in beautiful Derbyshire countryside, on a working dairy farm, this spacious glamping pod offers a peaceful getaway with easy access to some of the area’s most loved destinations. Crich Stand, with its iconic memorial tower and panoramic views, is less than 1 mile away. For riverside walks and woodland trails, Whatstandwell is 2 miles from your door, while the historic canal and heritage attractions of Cromford are only 5 miles away. Matlock Bath, known for its cliffside views and the Heights of Abraham cable cars, is just 6 miles south, and the vibrant centre of Matlock, with its shops, cafés, and riverside park, is only 4 miles. Whether you are exploring ancient trails, discovering local history, or simply enjoying the views, everything feels close. Yet the pod itself is tucked away in nature, surrounded by sweeping landscapes, quiet skies, and a true sense of escape. Ideal for walking, relaxing, and reconnecting with what matters.

Step inside this beautifully crafted, extra-large glamping pod and discover a thoughtfully designed retreat that feels far beyond the ordinary. The open-plan layout is spacious and light-filled, thanks to the pod’s elegant oval shape and wide bi-fold doors that frame uninterrupted countryside views. Inside, the pretty colour palette and natural wood finishes create a calming, luxurious atmosphere. You’ll find a lovely fully equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing relaxed meals. A comfortable seating area with a plush sofa invites you to unwind in front of the cosy wood burner, perfect for cooler evenings. To one side of the space, the king-size bed offers restful sleep after a day in the fresh air. The sleek en-suite shower room is tucked at the rear, offering modern comfort in this peaceful setting.

Outside, a private decking area awaits with an outdoor bath, space to dine or stargaze, and room for four-legged friends to enjoy too. A truly serene and stylish countryside escape.

Spent Monday to friday at bilberry barrel. Was entranced by the view. The local countryside was amazing. And even though the weather was very changeable it just added to the amazing view from inside the barrel. Would highly recommend

Met the host who was verypleasant, taking timeto chat and explain the history and futureplans for the farm, a very friendly and approachable lady, thanks for taking the time to chat. The only thing I would suggest is maybe some sort of wind break /diffuser on the the decking between the barrel and the cowshed as the wind seemed to blow right acrosRead mores making the decking a little chilly, otherwise faultless.

We totally enjoyed our weekend with you, the accommodation was beautiful and very well equipped. It was such a pleasure to wake up each morning to the cows roaming around and the dogs visiting for a fuss. We will definitely be booking again during the summer.

Really lovely break. The cabin is down a track, close to the farm house. Wonderful views across the fields, and sunsets. The bath outside is a lovely touch, after a long day walking we had a well deserved soak overlooking stunning views. Very clean and modern inside. The hosts were on hand to help us and provided the extra bed linen so we could makRead moree up the sofa bed, which I had forgotten to request, so that was very appreciated. Perfect relaxing break for my sister and I. Pubs nearby and walks. Hide
