Derecroft Glamping Luxury Lodgepods with Jacuzzi Hot Tub

Derecroft Glamping Luxury Lodgepods sit on a hilltop near the village of Lanchester, with spectacular views across County Durham countryside. Lovingly designed and hand-built on a family farm, the pods are close to historic Durham (20 minutes’ drive) and all manner of family attractions.

Breath-taking views of Durham Valley farmland can be spied from all the windows of the ultra-spacious pods. Each sleeps up to four people in total comfort, with hot showers in the en-suite bathroom (bed linen, towels, bathroom products, robes and slippers are all provided). In the dining and seating area, there’s ample space for chilled downtime in front of the smart TV with sound bar.

The nattily designed open-plan kitchen has everything to make conjuring up meals a breeze: oven, microwave and fridge. Basic condiments and olive oils come as part of the package along with a (very) welcome hamper containing essentials like tea, coffee, pastries, juice and Prosecco.

Outdoors, the pods each have private raised decking with farmland panoramas, plus picnic benches, barbecues and pizza ovens for leisurely alfresco dining under the stars. Everything you need is on hand, including cooking utensils, crockery, charcoal, logs and fire lighters. Extra-special touches include the Jacuzzis under wooden pergolas – ideal for use in all sorts of weather.

When out and about exploring the place, you’ll see sheep and horses grazing in the fields and – if you’re lucky – Canada geese on the wildlife pond.

Amazing - highly recommended!
We stayed here for 2 nights for my 50th birthday. Jane was fantastic, decorating the cabin after a (very!) last minute request from my other half, and was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The cabin is beautiful and surprisingly spacious, equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views from the terrace and hot tub are beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have recommended it to friends, we will definitely be back! Thank you x

Hidden Gem
We visited Derecroft glamping pods for a joint birthday relaxing getaway and it did not disappoint. The pod was absolutely immaculate and included everything you could possibly want or need for a break away. Jane was a fantastic host and the little touches of milk and fresh juice in the fridge were lovely, including Prosecco on arrival! The hot tub and pizza oven were fantastic! We would definitely visit again in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a chilled few days away!

We visited for a birthday celebration and loved it so much we ended up staying an extra night! Jane provides everything you could possibly need for your stay. The hot tub, garden and the lodge itself was super clean and well looked after. There were some really nice special touches like prosecco and pastries on arrival. We are already planning our next stay. Thankyou Jane!
