Oakamoor, Staffordshire, England
This wooden lodge sits within Dimmingsdale Forest in Staffordshire, a short drive from Alton Towers and the Churnet Valley. The interior centres on a log burner and open plan kitchen lounge, with a secondary sleeping area in the eaves reached by ladder. It functions well as a glamping base for families or couples who want forest surroundings without sacrificing comfort.
The outdoor setup is where this lodge earns its keep. A wood fired hot tub, fire pit, tree swing, and a serious four burner gas barbecue make the outside space as usable as the interior. Stables and grazing are available for those bringing horses, which opens up the riding trails of the Peak District. At 352 reviews and a 4.87 rating, it has proven itself across a high volume of stays.
We love the equestrian option. Being able to bring horses and ride out into the Peak District puts this lodge in a different category to most forest glamping.
Many reviewers praised the 3-day experience in a charming rural setting, highlighting the cozy lodge and perfect hot tub, making them feel truly away from it all.
