About EcoPod Holidays

The site has stunning views and huge expansive skies looking over the Weaver Hills and Churnet Valley. It’s very quiet apart from the local birds, who are noisy…!

The 5 EcoPods are set spaciously within an orchard of a hundred different fruit trees in a 10 acre meadow with a woodland backdrop and snaking pathways linking the EcoPods together.

An untouched part of the world with the huge sky's and stunning views of the Weaver hills and an abundance of wildlife is matched only by the bird chorus in the morning from the enchanted woodland.

Choose from five bespoke pods, each fully insulated with its own log burner, hot shower, mini kitchen, compost toilet and music playing and phone charging facilities.

As well as boasting easy access to the dramatically contrasting landscapes of the Peak District and an abundance of idyllic walking and cycle routes, the site is also within close proximity to the historic market town such Ashbourne.

Only a short drive away are attractions such as Alton Towers, Dove Dale 'stepping stones' and the Weaver hills and Churnet valley.

The site is 15 minutes from Carsington Water, where you can try your hand at water sports such as sailing, canoeing and windsurfing; or walk or cycle around the 9-mile perimeter of the stunning reservoir. One end of the lake is a bird sanctuary and there are 5 birdwatching cabins along the route.

Energy levels can be restocked at the café restaurant overlooking Carsington Water. (famous for its delicious cake), before a lazy afternoon of birdwatching or browsing the boutique shops. Then back to the Orchard and the cosy cabins.

There are pods to accommodate singles, couples or families, or alternatively, the whole one acre site can be booked for larger parties.

The Pods can accommodate up to 16 guests and there is room for 10 extra people in tents if required.
