No Deer Reviews

Amy Louise
Absolutely fantastic stay, so much thought has gone into what people may need during their stay. The listing is spot on on the website and Jane was so kind and helpful. We only live 25 minutes away but we will definitely be back. One of the most relaxing breaks we have had in a long time.
Our host Jane was wonderful and her attention to detail is amazing, she has thought of everything. Everything in the pods is quality and nothing has been over looked. Every care has been taken to give you privacy & comfort to give you the best experience. Nothing is a problem and Jane is on call if you need anything, even the hot tub fire is cleaned and relayed for you, if required. No where is far and Jane has put a book together with her recommendations which is great. Jane and Phil have created a unique and excellent place to unwind and relax. Thank you we loved everything and we will definitely be back at the end of the year

We loved our stay at No Deer! A peaceful location and lovely accommodation which has been beautifully decorated. Jane has thought of absolutely everything kitchen equipment, toiletries, games box and more... and was so welcoming when we arrived too, making sure we were settled in OK. I would highly recommend staying at No Deer for a countryside getaway.
A very special place! Aside from the peace and tranquility of watching the deer, our No Deer pod was exceptional with every detail covered. So cosy and clean, with all essentials and more. Fantastic communication from initial booking to departure. See you again
We loved everything about this pod so here are just some of highlights A very warm welcome from the hosts who have thought of pretty much everything you'll need for your stay. Clear instructions and parking right outside. Beautifully decorated and maintained inside. Lovely seating area outside with the hot tub. Good wifi connection. Beautifully quiet location and a great base for exploring the Peak District.
Jennifer
Beautiful place, owner very friendly and helpful. This was a gift from my daughter for my birthday, made even more special by the owners. Lovely to see the deer each morning.
We have just got back from a weekend stay at No Deer. The host Jane was very welcoming and friendly. It was our anniversary and she had put some little decorations up, which we thought was such a lovely touch. The place was exceptionally clean and had everything you needed. It was lovely sat watching the deer in the next field. Would definitely recommend
The pod was superb, the hosts greeted us with a lovely bottle of proseco. Wood fired hot tub took a bit of getting used to but was lovely. The walks & cycling were excellent. Highly recommended.
What a fantastic place to spend our 20th wedding anniversary! No deer was immaculately presented with everything you need for your stay, with some lovely little personal touches. Jane was fab and so passionate about her pods, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend this beautiful site for a peaceful & tranquil break. We will be back
The No Deer Pod was stunning, in a lovely peaceful setting. The cleanliness and attention to detail is exceptional and a tribute to Jane who is very passionate about them, which reflects in the quality of the fixtures and fittings. Would highly recommend for a great getaway, short walk to the pub, and easy access to the Peak District was lovely thank you.

Nicholas

Isabel
What a beautiful, cosy, and stunning place. The pod was absolutely spotless and everything that I can think of, was provided. It was such a cute and perfect pod to spend time with your loved one. We honestly enjoyed every second and the hot tub was gorgeous. The owner does regular chlorine checks every morning on the hot tub which was really amazing. We would definitely come here again. This was such a special getaway, thank you!
We had the best stay at the No Deer pod, it was very clean and modern. Jane was also very helpful and welcoming. Couldnt recommend more!
Really enjoyed our weekend at no deer pod and would recommend it to family and friends. It was really well cared for and the cleanest place Ive ever stayed in. Andy and Janet
Cleanliness of the property was outstanding. Set in the countryside where we saw deer, rabbits and a hare, perfect for relaxing on the secluded patio with a couple of drinks. Close to The Peak District National Park perfect for walkers and hikers alike and only a 10min drive from Alton Towers. Having a lovely host makes it that much better. 100 recommend.
Claire
We had a fabulous time at the pod. It is very secluded and quiet, perfect getaway to relax. Jane is a very welcoming host she even met us in the car when the app took us to the centre of the village. For a selfcatering place, it is stocked with items you usually have to bring with you. So dont worry about washing up liquid, tea towel, oil, salt and pepper. If you want to do any walks from the pod make sure you have a hiking app that will track you as it is very easy to lose the path. Overall we had a fabulous time.
Olivia
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The pod was gorgeous, clean and the hot tub was amazing! The host was really lovely and informative about the property and set us up for an amazing holiday. I would 100 recommend and would definitely go back again.

We had a great stay at No Deer lodge the site is lovely positioned in the county side with amazing views and a lovely county pub less than a 5 minute walk away the lodge had everything we could need for a 2 night stay
Jane was an amazing host, the pod was spotless with everything you could need for a short stay and more. Lovely place close to Ashbourne, pub up the road is also lovely and serves food. Will recommend to my friends and family!
Jessica
Had a beautiful weekend get away at no deer pod. Jane was very welcoming and always there to help if needed. The pod has everything you could need. Hot tub was perfect, does take about 23 hours to warm up on the first night, however stayed warm over night so only took 30 minutes the next day! Ashbourne is only a 15 minute drive away where we have a nice breakfast at the little shed and dinner up at the bowling Green inn, both of which where delicious. Definitely recommend anyone who wants a quite, relaxed trip away.
Courtney
We couldnt ask for anything more. The pod had absolutely everything we needed. Jane was an amazing host friendly and bubbly. The welcome pack had everything that we needed to know. It was mine and my partner first holiday away and it was definitely what we need. We will definitely be back.
Catherine
No Deer did not disappoint. We couldnt fault a thing. Everything was of the highest quality and added to a luxurious stay. Thank you!
Myself and my fianc stayed at No Deer for three nights in March. The pod which we stayed in was amazing it was spotless, and has everything you need including a hairdryer. The hot tub was easy to use and was very relaxing after a long walk. The local pub is only a five minute walk from the pod so no need to drive. The host Jane and her husband were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Nice and quiet surroundings great place to stay for a relaxing getaway, Would definitely recommend.
Rachel
We had the most magical stay at No Deer. Jane was a wonderful host, when we arrived she greeted us to run through everything and communication was great from start to finish. We had a lovely surprise when entering the pod, a bottle of bubbly and some chocolates they didnt last too long! The pods are immaculate, cosy and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was just what was needed after a long day hiking, true bliss getting lost in natures sounds, we felt like we were the only people in the Peak District at times. Perfect location to travel around the peaks and only a 5 minute walk to the local pub. If you want to escape and soak up the country side this is the place to do it.
Very pleasant stay, the pod was excellent and well set out with great attention to detail. The hot tub was great and the local pub was ideal.
We had a wonderful fournight stay at 'No Deer'! The pod was immaculate, cosy, and just perfect. The peaceful countryside setting was lovely. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub in the evenings and spotting the deer. Jane was so friendly and always ready to help. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!
Lauren
From spending two lovely evenings in the log fired hot tub, to waking up to deer grazing in the field, No Deer was the perfect relaxing getaway. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning.
Matthew
Me and my fianc stayed here for two days in august and we both absolutely loved it . The accommodation is brilliant in a fantastic and peaceful location. The outdoor area is great and the wood fired hot tub is cool and very easy to use. There is a great pub a short walk away that does great food and beer . We both had a great stay at No Deer and would definitely come again
Absolutely loved our 3 night stay at No Deer. From the second we arrived we knew we were going to enjoy it. The pod itself is immaculate and finished to a very high standard. Great kitchen facilities, very comfy bed and the bathroom fittings are all superb. The hot tub was amazing and was used for many hours and being able to sit out for tea with the deer watching was special. The host Jane was very attentive and the chocolates and fizz left on arrival added to that. There is a pub 5 mins walk away. We went for a walk to Rocster where there was a lovely farm shop and Ashbourne and Carsington Water is a short drive away for town shops and water sports. This place is a must stay if your in the peak District
Olivia
Everything was perfect. From the views, to every little detail in the lodge. Couldnt of asked for anything better. Will 100 be returning and recommending NO DEER, to others. Local pub was lush too. Jane was very welcoming and helpful. One of the best hosts, we have ever met. We loved seeing the deers nearby too. Massive Thank You!
Jane was a fantastic host, she was there on arrival as a result of some work National Grid were doing in the area that affected the electricity supply and kept us updated. The property and facilities were kept in excellent condition and Jane offered her support via mobile should we have needed anything.Jane ensured that the property was in great condition for a lovely peaceful break.I would thoroughly recommend this property and will be returning.
This was a last minute decision for a short get away, this was a lovely place. The owner was lovely and so helpful. There is so much to do and we loved the hot tub and the facilities in the lodge.
Louise
Absolutely Amazing! !! We had a wonderful 3 night stay at No Deer. Everything there was as described, pod was spacious, spotless and well equipped. We met the owner Jane on arrival who was so lovely, gave us some useful advice on the local area. We ate at the Crown Inn a couple of times, just a very short walk up the road, the food was exceptional. The hot tub was great, didnt take long to get warm, it was well used and we were grateful of it after some long bike rides
Georgia
Could not have asked for a better stay here. We are originally from the city so a rural break was exactly what we needed and I cannot recommend this place enough. The host was absolutely wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel so welcome. The complimentary bottle of prosecco was a lovely addition. The pod was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed inside. I cannot fault our stay at all, thank you so much for making our glamping experience a positive one and we will definitely be returning.
Denise
We had such a lovely stay here. Hosts were really helpful. Accommodation was as described, everything you needed for a short break, all perfect. Chocolate and Prosecco was a lovely gesture, as well as the cleaning pack and toiletries. The setting was also very peaceful. Would definitely recommend.
Jessie
Our first stay at No Deer, but it certainly wont be the last! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The host came down to the pod shortly after we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. She also told us that a new baby deer had been born that day, so we were thrilled when we managed to catch sight of it on our last day! The welcome pack was full of useful information and answered any possible question we had. We lit the hot tub shortly after arriving and this was ready for a relaxing dip before bed. All of the little extras bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer were brilliant too, as this saved us taking our own. Would happily recommend this place to anybody, the only bad part of the holiday was when we had to leave! perfect perfect perfect!!
