“Great location.”

Good pub within 400m. Pod had everything we needed and a few extras. Just 3 pods on the site, so quiet and private. Jane (host) was very welcoming and helpful. Wood fired hot tub was easy to use

“The lodge was amazing.”

I was quite anxious to come here as i was heavily pregnant and me and my partner came for a small get away but jane and phil put us at ease we were informed of everything we needed and were very well looked after. the location is beautiful with the deer and with the pub only a few minutes up the road it was lovely for a quiet get away. We will definitely be back!

Jacky November 2024

“Made very welcome on arrival and Oh Deer was everything stated and more.”

After heavy snowfall Jane and Phil cleared the snow to make sure it was as safe as possible. Our first Pod holiday and we loved it. Sub-zero temperatures during our stay but we were very comfortable and warm. Even the 'cold dash' to the hot tub was worth it!

- Jacky, November 2024

Hi Jacky and Roger, it was a pleasure to meet you both and we’re so pleased you enjoyed your first glamping pod holiday! Lovely to hear you were warm and cosy and that despite the snowy weather enjoyed using the hot tub too! Take care and hope to see you again best wishes Jane & Phil Property Owner
Glenn November 2024

“Absolutely loved our 4 night stay at Oh Deer, a beautiful, well equipped, warm, comfortable glamping pod with a fab walk in shower and a hot tub too.”

Jane met us on arrival and was so helpful. The on-site deer are inquisitive and came to say hello, a real bonus. Our first time glamping, think we may have stumbled on a gem. Pub just up the road (maybe 3 min walk, no more) with friendly vibe and great food. Lots of unexpected little extras that defo made this WOW!

- Glenn, November 2024

Hi Glenn and Jacky, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you both and I'm so pleased you had such a fabulous first glamping experience! Thank you so much the wonderful review, it means so much to us! Best wishes Jane & Phil Property Owner
Amelia September 2024

“A perfect and comfortable place to stay!”

We cannot praise this place enough - from the moment we arrived, Jane welcomed us, explained everything we might need to know for our stay, offered lovely recommendations, and was happy to help! We were just a short drive away from some beautiful walking locations, experiences and restaurants (especially The Crown Inn, a 2 minute walk up the road). Knowing we were returning to a safe and cosy pod with a relaxing and easy to use wood fired hot tub was brilliant. Everything we needed for a 7 night stay was included. We had such a lovely stay, were very sad to be leaving, and will absolutely return in the future! Thank you Jane and Phil!

- Amelia, September 2024

Hi Amelia and Max, it was so lovely to meet you both and we're really pleased you had such a fabulous time at Oh Deer.

The card was beautiful, with very kind words....and the plant is gorgeous....thank you so much...you are welcome back anytime. Best wishes Jane and Phil Property Owner

Hattie September 2024

“We had an unforgettable stay at Oh Deer glamping pod that was the perfect honeymoon getaway.”

From the moment we arrived, our host Jane was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great local recommendations. The pod itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the relaxing hot tub, which was a fantastic way to unwind while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The area around the pod was tranquil, providing a perfect escape and it was magical watching the deer frolick in the distance. Despite the serene setting, we found plenty of exciting places to explore just a short drive away. Whether it was scenic trails or charming local spots, there was no shortage of things to do. To top it off, the personalized touches for our honeymoon were truly special. A welcome with thoughtful goodies, prosecco, Mr & Mrs/congratulations decor and a heartfelt card made our stay even more memorable. Overall, this glamping pod was an ideal choice for our honeymoon, and we can’t wait to return!

- Hattie, September 2024

Dear Hattie and Aiden… WOW what fabulous feedback… I’m humbled, thank you so much!!! We work so hard to make sure every guests experience at our pods is an unforgettable one and I personally love adding all those little extras to make a truly memorable stay! I’m so pleased you had a wonderful honeymoon, enjoyed the hot tub and watching the deer. We look forward to you returning again in the future! Take care & best wishes Jane Property Owner
Ellie August 2024

“We had an excellent stay at Oh Deer.”

Jane the owner had wonderful hospitality and attention to detail, she meets you on arrival and talks you through everything which is lovely. Proseco, coffee/tea/hot choc and milk and biscuits were all provided which was a delightful addition to the pod. Oh deer itself was roomy, well equipped, incredibly clean and the bed and shower were superb. We really appreciated all the decoration and attention to detail that had gone in to decorating Oh Deer and it really elevated our stay to make it more enjoyable. The log fire hot tub was lovely and relaxing and Jane was an amazing host and helped us out a lot and nothing was too much trouble. Overall I would highly recommend Oh Deer it’s a wonderful place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back, we couldn’t fault anything it was perfect. It’s also a superb location with local pubs and farm shops near by and lots of good pubs and service are not too far of a drive or a walk down the road !

- Ellie, August 2024

The hot tub and the peacefulness was the highlight and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was the bed was a little uncomfortable but other than that we had an amazing stay. We will definitely be staying here again, thank you

“I can't say enough nice things about Oh Dear, Jane was so happy, friendly and always willing to help with anything you need.”

The pod has everything you need for your break away and it was immaculate. The hot tub is amazing to sit in at night when the sun goes down to look up at the stars. The deer next to the site are wonderful to sit and watch. The area is so peaceful and relaxing with plenty of surrounding areas to explore. We would definitely come stay again.

Anne August 2024

“The pods are immaculate The attention to detail is obvious as soon as you pull up to the pods, everything well thought out with privacy paramount.”

The attention to detail follows through on the inside with everything you need to be more than comfortable, home from home. Cant praise the facilties enough. Cleanliness 100%. Jane the host and her husband take pride in the pods and grounds and like to personally welcome their guests to ensure an enjoyable stay. The hot tub is lovely to relax in the evening after a day out. A bonus is seeing the deer in the field

Linda July 2024

“We chose this property primarily as it it was so close to the JCB Golf Club for the Liv Golf event.”

But it was perfect in all ways. This property was exactly as described. A new pod with a hot tub, immaculately cleanthroughout, beautifully furnished and equipped with all that you you would require for your stay, either short or for a week. Jane made us so welcome (Prosecco and chocolate) but her genuine bubbly personality, help and advice, if required, made our stay fabulous.We would definitely stay here again without question and explore the beautiful the Peak District further. We had a fantastic week!

Jamie & Lizzie October 2023

“Perfect, relaxing stay.”

Me and my husband booked Oh Deer as a mini-moon for the first few days after our wedding. Everything about our stay was perfect. The pod was spotless and so well equipped. The owner Jane came to greet us which was a really nice touch, along with the bottle of Prosecco left for us! Jane has thought of everything, you can tell a lot of time and attention has been put into the creation of these pods. The area is so peaceful, waking up to the deer every morning was so lovely. The village pub is a short walk down the road and is so welcoming, serving really delicious pub grub. We also visited the Shed, again a short walk down the road for our morning eggs and sausages. We can't recommend this place enough!

- Jamie & Lizzie, October 2023

Hi Jamie & Lizzie I’m honestly touched by your amazing review! Thank you for choosing to stay at Oh Deer for your mini-moon!

Hannah August 2023

“Oh Deer was incredible.”

Absolutely immaculate. As we arrived we were welcomed by the lovely Jane. As we were coming to oh dear for our mini moon, I’d brought some of my wedding flowers with me. Jane went out of her way to go get me a vase to display them in the pod. The pod is designed so well and meets all of your needs. If you were self catering there would be no reason to actually have to leave the pod. There were really lovely touches such as, the welcome book with ideas of what to do during your stay, books which we used one of to go on a trail.. it was so fun! A box with games in so we had lil card night with pizza, there was a Prosecco on arrival and choc buttons which were delicious. The hot tub was really easy to follow and use, this was also cleaned on our second day and refilled for us. The view is great and the surroundings are so quiet and with the view of the deers it was just bliss. We spent 4 nights in the pod and we definitely wanted to stay longer and there was plenty more for us to go and do, we have already said we will definitely stay there again!

- Hannah, August 2023

Hi Hannah and James, thank you so much for the amazing review and for choosing to spend your mini moon at OH DEER! We are so pleased the pod had everything you needed and that you enjoyed exploring the local area! We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Kind regards Jane Property Owner

“We had an amazing stay at Oh Deer!”

Everything was to a super high standard, really clean and had everything we wanted. The hot tub was lovely - although it took approx. 2 hours to heat up as it was a wood burning one, this was no problem for us, and it was easy to use! Jane the owner was lovely, came to greet us at the start and made us feel very welcome. We have already recommended to a few friends to come with their partners.

About the location

ASHBOURNE

Matlock 15.7 miles; Bakewell 16.6 miles; Chatsworth 20.4 miles.

Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collection of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.

Please note: This property is unable to accommodate bookings that start on a Sunday.
