Oh Deer Reviews

The lodge was amazing. I was quite anxious to come here as i was heavily pregnant and me and my partner came for a small get away but jane and phil put us at ease we were informed of everything we needed and were very well looked after. the location is beautiful with the deer and with the pub only a few minutes up the road it was lovely for a quiet get away. We will definitely be back!
Great location. Good pub within 400m. Pod had everything we needed and a few extras. Just 3 pods on the site, so quiet and private. Jane host was very welcoming and helpful. Wood fired hot tub was easy to use
Absolutely loved our 4 night stay at Oh Deer, a beautiful, well equipped, warm, comfortable glamping pod with a fab walk in shower and a hot tub too. Jane met us on arrival and was so helpful. The onsite deer are inquisitive and came to say hello, a real bonus. Our first time glamping, think we may have stumbled on a gem. Pub just up the road maybe 3 min walk, no more with friendly vibe and great food. Lots of unexpected little extras that defo made this WOW!
Made very welcome on arrival and Oh Deer was everything stated and more. After heavy snowfall Jane and Phil cleared the snow to make sure it was as safe as possible. Our first Pod holiday and we loved it. Subzero temperatures during our stay but we were very comfortable and warm. Even the 'cold dash' to the hot tub was worth it!
Amelia
A perfect and comfortable place to stay! We cannot praise this place enough from the moment we arrived, Jane welcomed us, explained everything we might need to know for our stay, offered lovely recommendations, and was happy to help! We were just a short drive away from some beautiful walking locations, experiences and restaurants especially The Crown Inn, a 2 minute walk up the road. Knowing we were returning to a safe and cosy pod with a relaxing and easy to use wood fired hot tub was brilliant. Everything we needed for a 7 night stay was included. We had such a lovely stay, were very sad to be leaving, and will absolutely return in the future! Thank you Jane and Phil!
Another amazing stay! Immaculate pod and great base. Thank you once again Jane and Phil. We can't wait to return
Hattie
We had an unforgettable stay at Oh Deer glamping pod that was the perfect honeymoon getaway. From the moment we arrived, our host Jane was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great local recommendations. The pod itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the relaxing hot tub, which was a fantastic way to unwind while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The area around the pod was tranquil, providing a perfect escape and it was magical watching the deer frolick in the distance. Despite the serene setting, we found plenty of exciting places to explore just a short drive away. Whether it was scenic trails or charming local spots, there was no shortage of things to do. To top it off, the personalized touches for our honeymoon were truly special. A welcome with thoughtful goodies, prosecco, Mr & Mrscongratulations decor and a heartfelt card made our stay even more memorable. Overall, this glamping pod was an ideal choice for our honeymoon, and we cant wait to return!
We had an excellent stay at Oh Deer. Jane the owner had wonderful hospitality and attention to detail, she meets you on arrival and talks you through everything which is lovely. Proseco, coffeeteahot choc and milk and biscuits were all provided which was a delightful addition to the pod. Oh deer itself was roomy, well equipped, incredibly clean and the bed and shower were superb. We really appreciated all the decoration and attention to detail that had gone in to decorating Oh Deer and it really elevated our stay to make it more enjoyable. The log fire hot tub was lovely and relaxing and Jane was an amazing host and helped us out a lot and nothing was too much trouble. Overall I would highly recommend Oh Deer its a wonderful place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back, we couldnt fault anything it was perfect. Its also a superb location with local pubs and farm shops near by and lots of good pubs and service are not too far of a drive or a walk down the road !

Matthew
I can't say enough nice things about Oh Dear, Jane was so happy, friendly and always willing to help with anything you need. The pod has everything you need for your break away and it was immaculate. The hot tub is amazing to sit in at night when the sun goes down to look up at the stars. The deer next to the site are wonderful to sit and watch. The area is so peaceful and relaxing with plenty of surrounding areas to explore. We would definitely come stay again. Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding anniversary away. 1010
The pods are immaculate The attention to detail is obvious as soon as you pull up to the pods, everything well thought out with privacy paramount. The attention to detail follows through on the inside with everything you need to be more than comfortable, home from home. Cant praise the facilties enough. Cleanliness 100. Jane the host and her husband take pride in the pods and grounds and like to personally welcome their guests to ensure an enjoyable stay. The hot tub is lovely to relax in the evening after a day out. A bonus is seeing the deer in the field
We chose this property primarily as it it was so close to the JCB Golf Club for the Liv Golf event. But it was perfect in all ways. This property was exactly as described. A new pod with a hot tub, immaculately cleanthroughout, beautifully furnished and equipped with all that you you would require for your stay, either short or for a week. Jane made us so welcome Prosecco and chocolate but her genuine bubbly personality, help and advice, if required, made our stay fabulous.We would definitely stay here again without question and explore the beautiful the Peak District further. We had a fantastic week!
We loved our stay at Oh Deer! The pod is furnished and maintained to a very high standard, and Jane, our host, was so welcoming and helpful on our arrival and throughout. We loved the special extra touches the Prosecco and chocolate! and the hot tub was wonderful. Its a lovely rural site perfect for a quiet get away. We couldnt recommend it enough!
Excellent location we had not realised how close we were to some amazing attractions from 30mins to 1hr ie National Memorial Arboretum, Wrexham, Chester and Chatsworth House to name a few. The pod was charming, really nicely presented with easy use hot tub. Short 2min walk to nearest pub that served lovely food. Jane looked after us so well and have recommended to friends and family.
Had a lovely few days at Oh deer, WOW the pod is stunning and super clean, and the hot tub was lovely and easy to use. We loved seeing the deer, and a hare was a regular visitor! Jane the host was lovely, recommending places to visit, and nothing was too much trouble. The pod is in a lovely rural location with a pub serving excellent food just 5 mins walk away. Just book it, you wont be disappointed, 100 recommend.
Lovely property with everything done to a really high standard. Jane was a great host and the hot tub was fantastic to lounge in!
Sophie
Cost, clean and comfortable pod in a wonderful rural location with an incredibly welcoming owner. Would definitely recommend to those seeking a break, with a nearby pub, public trails and a short drive from other towns it has it everything you could need and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Oh Deer was a perfect getaway. Peaceful and everything you need. Jane was a great host and very helpful the arrival treats were very much appreciated. The wood fired hot tub was a perfect 'project' for my fire loving husband each day! The Crown Inn is a very short walk away, serving excellent food all day makes it a must visit!
We had a great time marred only by the weather. The pod was great, better than some 4 star hotels we've stayed at, everything we needed was supplied. The owners were extremly friendly, helpful and easily available for help or advice. Would definately go back in the future. Would highly recommend.
Shiney

Jamie & Lizzie
Perfect, relaxing stay. Me and my husband booked Oh Deer as a minimoon for the first few days after our wedding. Everything about our stay was perfect. The pod was spotless and so well equipped. The owner Jane came to greet us which was a really nice touch, along with the bottle of Prosecco left for us! Jane has thought of everything, you can tell a lot of time and attention has been put into the creation of these pods. The area is so peaceful, waking up to the deer every morning was so lovely. The village pub is a short walk down the road and is so welcoming, serving really delicious pub grub. We also visited the Shed, again a short walk down the road for our morning eggs and sausages. We can't recommend this place enough!
We have had the most AMAZING few days at Oh Deer for our anniversary. Everything was perfect, from the amazing hot tub, to the spotlessly clean pod, to the wonderful Jane. She is extremely friendly, helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is great. I honestly could not recommend this place enough it is in the most amazing, peaceful location and I would not hesitate to return again we have already discussed returning next year!!
