A Little Bit of Rough, comprised of The Rocket Lodge and four canvas lodges, is the epitome of a hidden gem. The exact location is only revealed once you have booked your stay, to keep the magic and mystery alive. Set within 20 acres of private woodland and looking out onto the finest Rutland countryside, this unique escape is perfect for those looking to unwind and recharge their batteries. Whether traveling as a couple, or as a family, your perfect stay awaits.

You may be thinking you have seen ‘The Rocket Lodge’ before, and you may well have, as it graced our screens in 2023 as part of George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces. Sitting in its own part of the woodland, The Rocket Lodge is a marvel, and completely unique, made up of 3 reclaimed grain silos and 4 shepherds huts all connected by oak framed glazed links, giving guests an amazing feeling of connection within the structure and the woodland outside. To feel even closer to nature, the four canvas lodges, sleeping six; Oak, Ash, Birch & Willow are the ideal escape, individually tucked away in their own little corner of the woodland.

All of the canvas lodges feature flushing toilets, roll top baths, hot water supply and wood-burning stove for your outdoor banquets. Additionally, all come with their own outdoor BBQ area and elevated deck with private fire pit and hammocks. Two of the lodges (Ash & Willow) also come with a wood-fired hot tub, bookable during your stay as an optional extra. Pure bliss and a totally unique place to stay, A Little Bit of Rough are masters of excellence, and constantly improving their offerings, so definitely keep your eyes peeled for exciting announcements on the horizon!
