Whether you opt for The Rocket Lodge, or one of the four Canvas Lodges, you are sure to have a magical time at this truly unique escape. Nestled in the Rutland countryside, this is the perfect place to get away from the fast paced bustle of daily life. Find out below why it is this week's 'Gem of the week'.

Why we love it
Tucked away in the serene landscapes of Rutland, A Little Bit of Rough offers a unique glamping experience that artfully blends rustic charm with modern comforts. Set within a private 20-acre woodland, this retreat provides two distinct accommodation options: the traditional Canvas Lodges and the innovative Rocket Lodge. Each offers a unique way to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying thoughtful amenities.

The details:

Canvas Lodges:
These spacious safari-style tents are designed for those seeking a classic glamping experience. Each lodge accommodates up to six guests and features a king bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a unique cabin bed that’s a favourite among children. Inside, you’ll find a wood-burning stove for heating and cooking, a fully equipped kitchen, and an en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. While the lodges are off-grid, they include solar-powered facilities for charging devices and a fridge with a small freezer. Outside, enjoy a private deck with a dining area, a wood-fired pizza oven, a fire pit, and hammocks for relaxation.

Rocket Lodge:
For a more contemporary retreat, the Rocket Lodge offers a bespoke design that stands out. Constructed from reclaimed grain silos and shepherd’s huts, this lodge provides a unique architectural experience. It includes a lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, three bedrooms (two doubles and one twin), and a luxurious bathroom featuring a large copper bathtub. Unlike the Canvas Lodges, the Rocket Lodge is equipped with electricity and central heating, ensuring comfort year-round. Guests can also enjoy a wood-fired hot tub, a pizza oven, and a private fire pit area.

Perfect for…
Couples seeking a romantic escape, families desiring a nature-filled adventure, or groups of friends looking for a unique getaway. Whether you choose the traditional charm of the Canvas Lodges or the distinctive design of the Rocket Lodge, A Little Bit of Rough caters to those yearning for a peaceful retreat with a touch of luxury.
