Escape to the peace and tranquillity of the Northamptonshire countryside in one of our luxury adults-only canalside lodges. Whether you're looking to relax, explore or simply switch off, everything you need is right here.
Each handcrafted lodge features a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, grill, induction hob, fridge/freezer, bean-to-cup coffee machine, cookware & utensils. You'll also enjoy a king-size Emma mattress, wood-burning stove, private bathroom, towels, dressing gowns, slippers and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay extra special.
Outside, unwind in your own private wood-fired hot tub, enjoy evenings around the fire pit, cook on the BBQ, or simply relax on the decking or hammock overlooking the canal. All fuel for the hot tub, fire pit and wood burner is provided.
Step onto peaceful canalside walks where nature is never far away. Keep an eye out for red kites, buzzards and kingfishers, and if you're lucky, you may even spot an otter swimming along the canal. Each lodge also has its own private fishing peg on a quiet turning point in the canal, meaning you'll rarely be disturbed by passing boats.
A selection of welcoming country pubs and restaurants are just a short drive away, while the attractive market towns of Rugby & Market Harborough can both be reached in around 20 minutes.

Group trip
We really enjoyed our stay with Stef and Ian with four friends sharing the yurt (one double bed and two camp beds pre-made for us).
The private space is secluded from other parts of the farm and the views are beautiful to wake up to each morning.
We really appreciated the facilities available, including a pizza oven, bbq, sink with running water, electricity, hot plate, dishes, cutlery, wooden bench seating and a private compost toilet. We also had access to the main shower and toilet block, just a short walk uphill and the onsite bar and honesty shop (great for a top up of fire wood).
The only thing that we would have benefitted from is an area of shade or tarp that could be pulled over the seating area, as we lucked out with the weather being so warm!
Thank you both. We would definitely recommend and may very well be back for a return visit in the future.

2 nights at Podtastic @ Nelsons Wharf
Had an absolutely wonderful time at the pods. Its supplied with everything you need so no need to pack anything!! Other than food. We are a barbecue lover and these pods already was packed with everything you need so was brilliant. Everyone was supper friendly as we were approached by Izzie and tom on arrival with a smile. The place is beautiful and has amazing views, very quiet and private. It’s very safe as the place has sensors so they are aware of who leaves and enters. Will absolutely visit again in the future!!

Absolutely loved our stay at Podtastic! Everything was spotless, the kitchen area was better stocked than ours at home and the scenery was beautiful and peaceful.
We travelled to Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle and both were an easy journey from the pod.
Added bonus was the play area which the kids loved!
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

We stayed in Stag Lodge.
Delighted with our accommodation. It was comfortable, stylish, and had every facility. A wonderful hot tub.
Helen was a great host, e mailing a really useful handbook, about the Lodge, & area.
I appreciated the fact that all the essential items like soap, dishwasher tablets, salt, pepper, teabags etc etc were supplied…! A great base to enjoy visiting an interesting area.

We have stayed in the Pheasant Lodge in this beautiful location and it was exactly what we need it. The Lodge was home to home, super clean and well equipped with everything we need it. Graham and Alison are great hosts, nothing too much trouble. The jacuzzi was amazing, perfect place to relax while watching the beautiful sunset over the canal. Yelvertoft was not too far and we loved the delicious homemade sausages from Alex's deli for our grill. We wish we could stayed a bit longer, truly enjoyed our stay.

To all the savvy readers out there, do yourselves a favor and reserve a spot at this gem of a place. Graham & Allison are the ultimate hosts, and I can't stress enough how delightful our stay was. We're definitely planning a return trip and can't wait to reunite with Allison. The hot tub was a dream, I even managed to reel in some decent-sized fish! The lodge was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Top-notch comfort all around.

Fab location in the middle of nowhere, beautiful views and the bed is comfy. What more could you want? Ha!
Met Ian briefly when we arrived but didn't see anyone the whole time to speak to. We did get to watch him bake hay and I can't lie, that was cool. Haha.
The only thing I would say is the hot tub isn't what you're expecting from a hot tub, so we didn't end up using it which was a shame as that was a big reason we booked but the rest of it is lovely.
We loved our stay at the farm, thank you for having us we will definitely book again 🧡

We had the most wonderful time at fox Lodge, the place felt like a little home from home, fairly well isolated and situated far enough from the other cabin to feel like it was just us there...it was exactly the kind of privacy we were looking for.
Graham and Allison were extremely attentive hosts, there at the drop of a hat if needed and offered to pick us up anything we had forgotten whilst also being very respectful of our privacy, they made us feel very welcome.
I would recommend the breakfast package to anyone! We managed to get 2 days breakfasts out of it with eggs still left over.
Our dogs had the best time and enjoyed playing in the garden area all day long and we also went for a few walks down the canal which were lovely.
The hot tub was phenomenal with a full explanation of how to use by Graham on arrival.
We will most definitely be visiting again, couldn't be happier with our experience. Thanks again Graham and Allison I'm sure we will see you again soon!

Great site! Pods lovely and warm, spotlessly clean and well kitted out with quality fittings and fixtures. Everything you could need is provided. Went as a large group taking over all 3 pods, kids had plenty of space to run about and enjoyed the activity frame. Able to bring gazebos to cover tables and BBQ despite wet weather, but also a good pub walking distance away if preferred. Izzie super helpful and very accommodating. Would come back!

A fabulous spacious camping pod for 2 adults and a 6 year old. The sofa turns into a small double sofa bed. Its very well maintained, clean. Can't fault it. Lovely attentive hosts. A great view of the canal, walking distance to a lovely pub. A nice quiet space with a play area for those who want to get away.

Where to go
North Cannock Chase
The wooded valleys of the Punch Bowl, Seven Springs, and Abraham’s Valley are ideal for exploring on foot, by bike, or on horseback, and there are more than 80 miles of bridleways to discover. Hike along the Cannock Chase Circular Walk to see Fairoak Pool and the Stepping Stones; visit the 17th-century stately home and gardens of Shugborough Hall, a National Trust property; then park your motorhome at a quiet family campground.
Central Cannock Chase
Rugeley sits on the eastern edge of the AONB, affording easy access to the hiking and horseback riding trails of Cannock Chase Forest. Nearby, Birches Valley Forest Centre is a hit with mountain bikers, as well as offering Segway rides and a Go Ape Treetop Adventure course, or you can escape the crowds to wander the heathlands of Sherbrook and Oldacre Valleys.
South Cannock Chase
Cannock and Hednesford are the gateways to the southernmost stretch of Cannock Chase AONB, which is dotted with historic sites. Dive into the region’s fascinating WWI history at the Museum of Cannock Chase, marvel at the Iron Age hill fort of Castle Ring, or head to Chasewater Country park to ride the Chasewater heritage railway and go kayaking or paddleboarding on the lake.
