Disley Meadow

4. Disley Meadow

Stockport, England · 1 unit
Escape to a peaceful countryside retreat in our beautifully styled 5m premium bell tent, set within the tranquil meadowland of Disley Meadow on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Surrounded by panoramic countryside views and open skies, this is a place designed for slowing down, switching off, and reconnecting with nature in comfort. Inside, the tent blends rustic charm with boutique-style touches throughout. A cosy double futon is dressed with fresh linen, soft duvet and plump pillows, while layered rugs, textured throws, cushions and warm lighting create a calm, inviting atmosphere after a day exploring the hills and trails nearby. Step outside into your own private meadow setup and enjoy relaxed outdoor living at its best. There’s a fire pit for evenings under the stars, a picnic bench for outdoor dining, and a flatbed four-burner griddle perfect for slow breakfasts or sunset cooking. A rustic cool box and picnic set with crockery, cutlery and glassware are included, along with tea, coffee and a breakfast pack featuring bacon, sausages, eggs and fresh rustic bread for a laid-back countryside morning. The highlight of the premium experience is your own private off-grid bubble spa. Unlike a traditional wood-fired tub, this jacuzzi-style setup combines rapid propane heating with a high-flow aeration system to create deep, full-body bubbling immersion beneath open skies. Silently powered by an off-grid energy system, it delivers consistent warmth, powerful spa-style bubbles and a true outdoor wellness experience surrounded by nature. Guests also have access to private off-grid washing facilities, including the choice of a warm shower in a heated shower tent beside the bell tent or a refreshing cold-water shower in a rustic shower hut for a more invigorating outdoor experience. Toilet facilities include both a private cassette toilet option and a regularly serviced clean portable toilet nearby. One of the unique features of the meadow is our small herd of four friendly alpacas, often seen quietly grazing nearby and adding to the peaceful countryside atmosphere. You may occasionally notice trains passing along the nearby Manchester–Sheffield railway line, a reminder that despite the feeling of total escape, you remain conveniently connected.
