Luxury Glamping with Private Hot Tubs near Southwell, Nottinghamshire

Eden Pines sits on Oxton Hill, three miles from Southwell and its minster, in a fold of Nottinghamshire that looks like a painting on a good evening. Six pods, spaced across the land, each one finished like a boutique hotel room — air conditioning, underfloor heating, a full bathroom and a proper kitchen — with a paved terrace of your own outside.

Around them, a smallholding we're building as we go: sheep on the hill already, with hens, goats and a few Dexter cattle to come, and a kitchen garden newly planted. It'll take a season or two to come into its own — and whatever it gives, our guests share in.

It makes a quiet base for the rest of the county too:Sherwood Forest,Nottingham andNewark are each around 25 minutes away, andSouthwell is a few minutes down the hill.
