The Ultimate Staycation

The Ultimate Staycation

What can beat a UK Summer? Birdsong, beer gardens, Al Fresco Dining. Looking at the weather today – snow, ice and rain – I cannot wait. 

I have also made a mental note to book abroad for some Winter Sun next year! Who wouldn’t like a bit more money in the bank to go somewhere exotic when we really need it?


A UK ‘Stay-Cation’ can help you save those pounds and pence. Our family and pet-friendly Glamping Site in the heart of Rural England is a perfect place for ‘Back to Nature’ living…with a few home comforts thrown in!


You may be asking yourself, why Leicestershire?


Well, this central location, perfect for spending time with family and friends, is close to The National Forest. Its crystal clear lakes, adventurous cycling routes and rambling walks are also within touching distance of numerous theme parks and museums. There really is something for everyone. The leaflets in our visitors’ information hub, located in the onsite shepherd’s hut, should give our guest plenty of inspiration for days out.

However, you really don’t need to leave The Dandelion Hideaway at all! Our picturesque site, surrounded by fields and forest, has green shoots appearing in the bluebell wood heralding the start of spring and our site re-opening on March 31st.


Our site is peaceful. Relaxing spots to read a book whilst you watch the kids play in the field. Children can meet the farm animals a short walk from the main site, join Katie, a qualified teacher, in fun Easter activities and hunt Scarecrows on our trail over the Billy Goats Gruff Bridge – which finishes at the local pub…!


In preparation for your visits, we have freshened up the site, ensured our Safari tents are cosy and the Shepherds’ hut and the beach hut (full of outdoor toys) have been given a lick of paint.


We hope we have filled you with inspiration for a relaxing break, away from your busy lives, to take time to enjoy good food and good company in a stunning spot.


The Oliver Family is excited to meet you in the upcoming season.

Wow 2023 already feels like it is flying by. It has been a very busy start to the year. I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Oxford Farming Conference. Which hosted some inspirational speakers. Samantha Kinghorn MBE, the Double Paralympic Medallist was hugely inspiring in how she has adapted to life changing injuries.
