We will never tire of these dreamy sunsets!

The beds inside the yurts are pretty darn comfy too!

Apparently to ‘Hurkle Durkle’ is a 200 year old Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 saying that means; to lie in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Can you picture yourself Hurkle durkling in one of our superking size beds, like this one in The Loft? 🛌 👆

I think it’s time to bring the term back

Are you a Hurkle Durkler or do you prefer to get up and go?

The Silver Circuit is an 8 mile circular walk only a couple of miles away from our Staffordshire accommodation.

There’s so much to see on this route which starts at Barton Marina, taking you up through part of the village of Barton Under Needwood, passing St James’ Church and the cute cottages that line Main Street.

After this enter the Dunstall estate and climb up through woodlands and back down toward the chocolate box village of Dunstall.

After passing through Dunstall head back into the fields and climb Battlestead hill, supposedly the site of a very bloody battle between the angles and Danes.

After taking in the amazing views of Dunstall hall head over Tatenhill Ridge, where more fantastic views of the Trent Valley can be found, down to the village of Tatenhill (take a quick stop at The horseshoe pub- slightly off route) before heading onto the final stretch down the Trent and Mersey Canal.

With several pubs and cafes en route this is a beautiful year round route (although very muddy in winter).

A great walk to enjoy during the day before returning back to your retreat to relax in the evening, whether in the hot tub under the stars at our Glampsite or The Loft, or with the firepit lit in the shadow of Tutbury Castle at the end of our Castle view garden.

Read more about the silver circuit and find full route directions in our blog on the website.

Snow!! In summer?

No we’ve not lost the plot, we’ve just had our first Christmas booking. Castle view has now been booked up for the Christmas week.

But our yurts and The Loft are still currently available, so if you fancy doing something a little different this year, and want to be super organised, head on over to the website and book your Christmas in a yurt.

Or for something really different why not head to Cyprus where you can still expect sunshine and daytime temperatures of up to 19 degrees.

Sunset evenings; the best time of day. Who agrees with me?

Glamping Barbie

We may be a bit late but we couldn’t not jump on this trend.

Did you know that this weekend is supposed to be the busiest travel weekend of the year in the UK?!

The kids are all breaking up from school and it’s time to spend some well deserved family time after a busy year of school runs and activities.

With most people heading to the coast and choosing destinations like Cornwall, Devon and Wales, things can get pretty busy on the way to and in these locations.

We might not be near the coast but we have some stunning views, walks and days out nearby.

Visit Alton Towers, Drayton Manor Park, The Monkey Forest or the adventure farm for a fun family day.

Head over to Ashbourne, Bakewell or Castleton for a mooch around these pretty Peak District towns.

Walk or cycle the Monal, Tissington or Churnet valley trails.

And if you still need a bit of water visit one of our local reservoirs like Blithbury, foremark or head over to Carsington Water or Cannock chase where you can get involved in various water activities from kayaking to wakeboarding.

Of course there is the option to do absolutely nothing. Just relax in your yurt, take a dip in the hot tub, light the BBQ or the firepit and enjoy views like this (taken from our car park).

Where are you going this summer?

21/07/2023

Hen parties account for the majority of our large group bookings, but we can cater for any occasion.

Send us a DM to enquire about hiring our whole site sleeping 20 in total, with 4 hot tubs, BBQ hut and firepits.

We can also cater for larger events where not all guests are staying over.

Put your out of office on, pack your bags because Betty and Bully have officially invited you to come and spend the weekend at with them.

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect time to light the firepit and gather your friends and family for some bbq-ing and marshmallow toasting followed by a dip in the hot tub as you watch the sunset from outside your yurt.

We even have a couple of summer weekend dates still available. Use code BOOKDIRECT for a discount.

04/06/2023

Gather friends and family, light up the firepit, grill a delicious dinner and let your conversations wander into the night. Add that perfect backdrop of a field filled with flowers and you’re set for an evening to remember.

Isn’t it simple evenings like this that create those lasting memories?

Nothing beats a beautiful sunset, and we are very lucky to experience some beautiful evening skies here at the glampsite.

Over the last week our guests have got to watch the sunsetting behind these beautiful blossoming trees nearly every night.

Why not take some time to disconnect, switch your devices off (we don’t have wifi anyway) hop into one of our woodfired hot tubs, watch the sunset and the steam rake your worries away 😌

08/04/2023

Imagine waking up on a sunny morning with a light frost and jumping in your woodfired hot tub while you listening to the birds going about their morning business.

That's exactly what you can experience when you book a glamping stay with us. Our yurts can sleep up to 6 people, set in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside.

Discover the beauty of nature while still being close to modern amenities. Book your stay now with

Which do you prefer?

I absolutely love storms! I don't know what it is but I love listening to the rain hammering down and watching the lightening then waiting for the thunder claps. I spent an extra out of time cleaning Potter's Lodge the other week while this storm was going on outside just so I could listen tot he rain on the canvas. Then the sun came out, but only on one side, creating one of my favourite skies where it is black clack clouds on one side but bright sun on the other. And when the sun came out immediately after a heavy downpour I looked over and genuinely thought Beaumont's Hideaway was on fire as the water evaporated from it's roof. Would you go glamping in a storm? I would!!!

The perfect afternoon for a @tlcfoodsandbakery afternoon tea in the field, which is looking very meadow-like with all of its wild flowers out, served on our @crystal_coasters_by_stacey cake stands 🥰

Part 1: A Bike ride along the river Churnet from Denstone to Alton. Watch part 2 to see where we stopped for lunch. Our guests are always asking for places to visit and things to do locally. This makes a lovely day/afternoon out. And is a bit quieter than it’s more famous neighbour the Tissington Trail. Perfect for families as you are cycling up a disused railway line rather than on the roads. There is no local cycle hire though so you would need to bring your bikes

Beaumont’s or Milne’s which would you choose?

And the winner is…. English Pear and Freesia I love the smell but mainly I love the little bee pattern on these super cute wax melts, so this is today’s pick.are you a wax melt addict too? What are you burning today? And for those of you who haven’t tried wax melts yet, head over to the @hampshire_aromas website and use the code PEAKESRETREATS10 to get 10% off your order! What are you waiting for?

Blink and you’ll miss them: I had so many to show you, and they all smell freakin’ amazing. Whilst we have been closed my collection of wax melts has been growing, so that we are well stocked up ready for when we do finally re-open. From now on you will arrive to your yurt or the Loft smelling of one of these amazing fragrances. I know it’s such a small thing, but when I walk into our house from outside and smell the burner going In the hall it always gives me this nice feeling (I can’t describe it so if someone better with words than me gets what I’m trying to say, do drop in the comments 🤣). Because you can get used to fragrance I now have 3-4 wax melt burners dotted around the house with different ‘flavours’ in them, so that I notice the difference as I move from room to room. @thefloristgateanslow thought I was going mad last year when I kept buying burner after burner from them, but seriously I am ADDICTED. Which would you choose from this collection? Use our brand rep code PEAKESRETREATS10 for 10% off on the @hampshire_aromas website. You won’t regret

We’re often asked what Glamping is like in the Winter, hopefully this will give you a bit of an idea as to what to expect with us. Big thanks to @bc_media_essex for capturing the yurts just perfectly in the snow.
