Portland Luxury Glamping | Stunning Yorkshire Hot Tub Break

About Portland Luxury Glamping

Portland is a stunningly-presented shepherd's hut located in the quaint village of Grove, just outside of the market town of Retford in Nottinghamshire. With its remote location and ample garden amenities, this property makes for a perfect romantic getaway.

Climb up to your stylish shepherds hut to find a compact, studio-style living space with a luxury double bed that you'll sink into for a great night's sleep. The kitchenette is equipped with everything you need for you to whip up delicious meals to enjoy at the breakfast bar or out on the elevated deck overlooking wonerful views.

Alternatively, make yourself a feast with the barbecue and outdoor cooking facilities whilst warming up by the outdoor woodburning stove before enjoying the hot tub overlooking open farmland. Take a trip to the legendary Sherwood Forest, or venture to Clumber Park National Trust for scenic walks and bike hire.

Discover the rich history of Lincoln and visit Newark Castle, a stunning medieval fortress overlooking the river Trent. Travel to Chatsworth House and the Peak District, approximately an hour away, for a day of exploring majestic landscapes and grandeur.

Don't miss out on the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Retford's bustling market town, or the iconic North Leverton working windmill. Indulge in a day of antique hunting at Hemswell Antique Center, and be sure to visit the local fishing lake which is five minutes away for a peaceful day by the water - permits can be obtained on the day.

Enjoy fresh produce and takeaway food from Homefarm Farmshop, treat yourself to a pampering session at Lavender Cottage Beauty and Aesthetics or a relaxing reiki session at Serenity Pathway to Peace - pre booking is advisable. Experience the thrill of horse racing at Southwell and Doncaster Racecourses, or swing through the treetops at Sherwood Pines with cycle hire and Go Ape.

Portland Luxury Glamping Reviews

Weronika

The property and the pods were lovely, everything about the place was homey and welcoming. The owners were kind and came out to meet us and support us with our stay. Theres a local farm shop nearby that serves amazing food and good produce to buy. I would recommend this place to anyone who thinks of staying.

Dominik

Amazing little stay, really cute shepherd's hut very well equipped and beautifully decorated. .. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the stars from the hot tub and cooking on the outdoor hot plate. Owner popped in to say hi on arrival and check everything was okay but otherwise left us in peace perfect host. Would definitely recommend

Samantha

We absolutely loved staying here, the owners have thought of everything & its been done to such a high standard. It is immaculately clean, so peaceful & cosy! Would recommend to anyone & we cant wait to come again! Thank you

It was a great property in a lovely location. Very peaceful and quiet and had everything we needed at the property. Would definitely recommend.

Trevor Cross

Amazing 3 night break in portland hut. The owners have thought of everything they are so welcoming and go above and beyond for you whilst there. The outside space is by far the best out of the ones we've previously stayed at, as well as the decor and cleanliness of it all.....superb! The communal seating with fire pit is a great addition if travelling with friends and family. We also loved the church bells ringing the time, great for putting phones away and having a little reminder in the background. The only thing we were unhappy with was having to come home!! We have already recommended this place to a few friends and are booking 2 stays again for next year. We can't wait to return!

To say this was one of the best finds to escape for a weekend would be an under statement. We booked this place at 10pm for the following day. Everything was perfect, hut had amazing air conditioning and heating. Outdoor cooking was brilliant along with hot tub, plunge bucket and fire place. Regardless of weather, we had both rain and sun and both were lovely. You can enjoy the entire experience in all weathers. I must say to the lady of the house whom designed and bought all the amenities. You did incredible. You didn't cheap out on anything! This really is luxury. Robes, towels, blankets, bedding and chairs. Everything feels high quality and you have truly made an incredible weekend escape.

Excellent place to stay well looked after everything you would need for you stay is included, nice little farm shop around the corner but you need to give 24hrs for some stuff so best to do it the day you get there. Would 100 recommend to anyone who is thinking about staying there

Duncan

Had an amazing break away from it all here. So peaceful and well kept. Furnishings throughout were perfectly done and thought out with great facilities and lovely farm shops and places to visit locally. We recommend a tour of the 'Creswell Craggs' for a interesting and very picturesque trip out. Amazing view across the valley on a night. Turn all the lights out and enjoy an amazingly clear night sky and possibly see a shooting star from your hot tub with a glass of wine...Paradise. Would highly recommend Limetree glamping retreat and will be definitely visiting again.

We had such an amazing longweekend in Portland. The hosts literally could not have done more to make us feel welcome. 10 stars just for them. Another 10 for the property. The hut was beautifully clean and so stylishly decorated. Loved it. Everything you could possibly need is provided. Peaceful surroundings overlooking farmland with beautiful views from the hut and the hot tub. Its pet and kids tree too so ideal if you want to get away from it all and just relax and indulge. Farm shop nearby and a we found a lovely crosscountry walk from the village to Retford nearby, Lincoln is not far to drive either. Will definitely, definitely be back. Cannot wait.

The accommodation was very clean and modern. It was very well kitted out with all the amenities you could wish for. The host were very pleasant and always at hand to accommodate any of my requirements. The hot tub was a hit, just perfect for relaxing in towards the end of each evening.

Lauren

Portland is an absolutely beautiful stay, everything is done to such a high standard and there is everything you could want and more. Lovely views in a beautiful setting and a great location for exploring.

Wow is all I can say! What a great experience staying here the atmosphere was so tranquil and peaceful. Amazing views! Everything we needed was there it was like being home from home. The hosts were absolutely amazing and so welcoming and friendly nothing was too much trouble! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Sarah and Dean

Our stay was perfect. The lodge had everything we needed and was spotless. The aesthetic of the grounds as well as the interior was gorgeous and so well though out. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, allowing us to feed the sheep before we left. Everyone was so helpful and made this retreat stress free. We loved the many features like the hot tub, the outdoor cold shower, the outdoor hob and log burner and the seating area under the canopy. Although not completely fenced off, the hut feels so private due to the gorgeous plants and trees surrounding. It was a perfect location and so peaceful. Me and my partner cooked dinner all 3 nights and had everything we needed to do so , so so happy with our stay and would definitely recommend to friends and family! Thankyou.

Weve just got home from a 2 night stay, and wow it was absolutely beautiful, the owners have put so much thought and effort into the whole thing. The owners were so helpful and polite, we cant pick 1 fault with the experiance and will be recommending to all friends and family and will definitely be coming back soon! 10 star from us x

Leanne

Thank you for fantastic stay in your delightful shepherds hut. The setting was scenic and peaceful. The hut was clean, well maintained and was comfortable and homely. The owners were welcoming and friendly, recommending places to visit and eat.

Fantastic place will definitely be back
