Peaceful, private yurt glamping in the heart of the Stamford Meadows

Stamford Meadows Glamping is tucked away in the heart of the meadows that is its namesake, its privacy ensured by the tall hazelwood trees that line it. This means that when you sink into its wood-burning hot tub, tilt your head back, and close your eyes, you can hear the local church’s bells ringing, or a train passing by, or the chirrups of the abundant local wildlife — yet no one knows you’re here. This is your own private area of solitude, a place for you and your loved ones to escape to for a while, with everything you need right on your doorstep.

Husband-and-wife team Amelia and Yogi landed on the idea for the site after Amelia’s sister held a “mini-festival” in her back garden, prompting the hosts to invest in a yurt and share the land they’ve enjoyed for years. They’ve certainly replicated that concept here, albeit without the mud-sodden clothes and uncomfortable night’s sleep, given how all of your necessities are but a stone’s throw away. Head out into the meadows straight from the site, take a short walk up the road to get into Stamford town centre, or enjoy a pint at a selection of locals that are each a stone’s throw away.

But if you’re looking to remain all but completely motionless during your stay — which is firmly possible as Amelia and Yogi even offer to pick guests up from the local train station — you can enjoy plenty of on-site R&R thanks to the alternative therapies offered by your hosts and local holistic practitioners. Yogi’s a GP with a history in acupuncture, providing sessions for visitors for an extra charge, while Amelia — a solicitor by trade — took a break from law to dive into the world of holistic therapy. As such, the couple know plenty of experts in the field of reflexology, remedial massage, aromatherapy, and more, who each visit the site to help guests reach their place of peace. Suffice to say, it’s all but guaranteed that you’ll leave this secret spot well-rested.

Orchard Yurt
Very relaxing stay, didn't want to leave. Didn't know too much about Stanford and the surrounding area. Luckily a beautiful town within easy walking distance from the Yurt. Also really enjoyed a visit to Burghley House which is a short drive.

Orchard Yurt
The orchard yurt site was incredible comfortable. It was a perfect place to spend a relaxing weekend. The site is exactly as described, and the host Amelia was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. So many of the little details were thought of, making it a very memorable stay. Extra convenient is that the site is about a 10-15 minute walk from town, which is also a lovely place to visit.

Walnut Yurt
Perfect getaway
We loved the Walnut Yurt! The attention to detail inside the yurt was amazing, including a breakfast basket with delicious options, bathrobes, and eyemasks. The hot tub was great - perfect for the cold weather. The kitchen had everything we needed and the compost toilet was clean and easy to use. The hosts were very helpful and went above and beyond, giving us great tips for nearby pubs in Stamford and dog walks. We 100% recommend this site - our first time in a yurt and we'll be back!

From the host
Amelia and Yogi welcome you to a rural glamping retreat with a luxurious hot tub in the heart of Stamford Meadows. They will offer insider information on the best places to visit in Stamford and offer guides on the most beautiful walks across the meadows. Guests will enjoy use of Stamford Meadows Glamping all year round, together with their own private wood fired hot tub. Our two beautifully handcrafted yurts are a perfect retreat for all seasons; cosy and warm in the cooler months, fresh and airy in the summer. They are each ideal for 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults. Each yurt is in a private site with its own hot tub, kitchen, eco loo and firepit. Or why not book Wild Thyme Cabin, a gorgeous heated log cabin with its own private hot tub and kitchen facilities? The cabin sleeps 2-3 adults and is dog friendly. A surprise mini continental breakfast is provided for all sites. As part of the experience we also offer a range of holistic treatments, including reflexology and massages, on site. Please enquire when booking. We are a dog friendly site.

Guests can sign up for acupuncture, reflexology,  a Swedish body massage, aromatherapy, a remedial massage, Hopi ear candling, an Indian Head Massage, reiki, or reflexology for an additional charge — Stamford’s hosts do not take a commission from these practises.

As its name suggests, the actual Stamford Meadows are directly accessible from the site. These 30 acres of land contain wildflower walks, including the Vence Walk footpath that runs through the Meadows. Visitors can access the River Welland, where they can go fishing or even kayaking, within a two-minute walk from the site. The town of Stamford is only a 10-minute walk from the site.

Rutland Water is a 15-minute drive from the site, with this sprawling reservoir surrounded by 4,200 acres of land ideal for a local day out. Hire a bike from the local Rutland Cycling (0330 555 0080) and embark on the Rutland Water lap (23 miles), Peninsula trail (15 miles), or Family trail (8 miles). You can also go fishing here and book in a beginners’ fly fishing course, or even enjoy some watersports and hire kayaks, paddleboards, rowboats, and more.

Food and drink
The George Hotel (01780 750750) is less than a mile away from the site, with a variety of restaurants, bars, and lounges on its grand floor.

The Crown (01780 763136) is also a 10-minute walk away, providing a charming bar with a wonderful outdoor seating area.
