A pretty little village, Rocester lies on the Derbyshire and Staffordshire border, located on a triangle of land between the River Churnet and River Dove. The site of a Roman fort exists today and the village was also mentioned in the Domesday Book. Rocester is home to the famous JCB factory, and the company has landscaped the surrounding area to provide some wonderful walks with some interesting sculptures around the site and the nearby parkland. Most significant of these is The Fossor, which is made entirely of digger parts and is a powerful representation of JCB. Rocester is halfway along the Staffordshire Way which runs the length of Staffordshire and is also at the start of the Limestone Way which goes to Matlock. Close to Rocester is the lovely market town of Ashbourne, and just a short drive away is Alton Towers, with fun for all the family. Explore either the Staffordshire or Derbyshire part of the Peak District National Park with historic houses, market towns, moorland, rolling hills and valleys, all easily accessible from Rocester.

Great attention to detail, everything you need to hand. Hot tub really easy to use. A very warm welcoming host. Definitely worth a visit.

So remote from the normal world and a chance to simply get away in such a beautiful pod! The cleanliness was pristine along with the information guide, which happily gave us a massive walkthrough of the pod for all the facilities and gave us the best options for efficiency especially when it came to the hot tub and cooking. Jane met us when we arrived and greeted us so kindly and showed us around the pod and explained the pod aswell and spoke regarding the local activities and safety around the areas. With the inclusion of Deers on your front porch!? Our only mini downside was that the shower head just needed tightening slightly and the wifi would cut out very rarely. But don't let these stop you from coming! the level of hospitality was above and beyond. On one occasion We asked Jane if she could light the hot tub for us while we were out for the day and without question she agreed and sorted the fire for us and what a treat it was on returning! We would highly recommend the pods to anybody as they were simply perfect!

...what a find! Our host, Jane, was fantastic. She met us on site when we arrived and ran through everything we needed to know for our stay. The pod had been trimmed up for my Husbands birthday and there was a bottle of prosecco for us. The pod was very clean and decorated to a really high standard. Lovely touches like a toiletry pack, plenty of tea and coffee, slippers, games and books. The log fired outdoor hot tub was amazing. Jane got that ready for us while we were out walking and it was just what we needed when we got back. Perfect location for walking and visiting some lovely places in the Peak District, and a 5 minute walk from The Crown Inn where we had drinks and a meal. If you want luxury glamping, book this - you will not be disappointed!
