Hot Tub Pods in the Middle of England
Glamping in the Midlands
Six adults-only glamping pods with private hot tubs in the Nottinghamshire countryside, within an hour or so of Leicester, Derby, Lincoln and Sheffield.
Glamping Pods with Hot Tubs
Stay near The Midlands, sleep in the countryside
The point of a Midlands glamping break is that it is close. No motorway marathon, no ferry, no flight: a drive of an hour or so from most of the region and you are somewhere that feels a long way from home.
Eden Pines has six glamping pods for two, each with its own private hot tub on its own terrace, on a four-and-a-half-acre working smallholding at Oxton Hill near Southwell. Nottinghamshire sits in the middle of the East Midlands, with the A1, M1 and A46 all within twenty minutes of the park, so it works as a weekend from Leicester, Derby, Lincoln or Sheffield, and as a manageable drive from Birmingham.
The park is adults only, so it suits couples looking for a quiet break rather than families with young children. Once you are here, Southwell, Nottingham, Newark and Sherwood Forest are all within about 25 minutes. The park opens in December 2026 and you can register interest now.
