Award Winning Luxurious Glamping
For family holidays and romantic escapes, the Dandelion Hideaway’s hamlet of beautiful nostalgic canvas cottages melt into the glorious Leicestershire countryside. Swap the daily rush for collecting fresh eggs from the hens, milking the dairy herd of goats and grooming the Shetland ponies. Or, just relax and indulge in the space, peace, birdsong and starry nights. A wonderfully unique experience, the luxury of truly sumptuous glamping, with the relaxation of idyllic rural days whilst peeping into farming life. With just six cottages there is a treasured, intimate atmosphere where you can roam freely, explore the outdoors and discover nature.
In the farmyard, we have a quaint reception, honesty shop, offering local produce and gorgeous gifts. In the summer we have a Children’s Outdoor Camp beautifully positioned for ‘lookout duties’ in the Spinney field.
The Dandelion Hideaway is elegantly exclusive in offering luxurious ensuite bathrooms, we are pretty sure that we are unique in UK Glamping with our wonderful bathrooms. All of the canvas cottages have a gorgeous free standing roll top bath with a chrome shower over, and a separate sink and loo. The bathroom is at the rear of the canvas cottage, affording plenty of privacy, and can be accessed from both bedrooms… truly luxurious, instant piping hot water for that luxurious relaxing bath in the countryside!
