Glamping Derbyshire and The Peak District
At Mulino Pods in Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District there are just three secluded glamping pods located on a farm with marvellous views over the valley towards Carsington Water.

Your neighbours are the farm sheep and cows which graze in the paddocks and fields around. Parking is near the pods and on arrival it’s self-check in but we are always on the end of the phone if needed. Damson Pod and Lavender Pod are both pet friendly and welcome up to two well behaved dogs in each. As there are farm animals in the surrounding fields, dogs must be kept on leads at all times.
