A trip to Africa sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Yet, let’s be honest: flights can break the bank, and once you land, those once-in-a-lifetime experiences can leave your wallet feeling quite light. But what if I told you that you can relish a taste of Africa right here in the UK? Welcome to Brook Meadow, a dog-friendly glamping site that brings the essence of Africa to rural Leicestershire without emptying your pockets.
Brook Meadow: A Unique Dog-Friendly Glamping Experience
Brook Meadow is not just any escape; this enchanting site immerses you in nature with its picturesque lakes and quaint woodlands. Nestled in the heart of Leicestershire, the Marabou Safari Lodge embodies the spirit of the continent. Inspired by the iconic 1985 film "Out Of Africa," this glamping lodge boasts a classy, colonial-inspired design, perched on timber stilts and adorned with playful animal motifs, from tigers on the cushions to leopard-print throws.
Luxury Amidst Nature: The Marabou Safari Lodge
You might be wondering, “What’s the appeal of a safari lodge in the UK, really?” Well, let me paint you a picture. Imagine stepping into a luxurious space that feels akin to a boutique hotel, yet offers the charm of the great outdoors. With plush cotton linen, stunning decor, and even a free-standing bathtub featuring golden taps, this is not your average camping experience!
But the winning feature? A sprawling garden beckons you to unwind after a day of adventure. Whether you’re lounging beside a cozy fire pit or relaxing on swinging chairs overlooking the serene lake, golden hours here are simply magical. And don’t forget to check the evening sky; it can make you feel like you’ve been whisked away to Africa under a blanket of stars.
Gastronomic Delights to Savor During Your Stay
Your idyllic stay wouldn’t be complete without delicious food. Before arriving at Brook Meadow, stock up on treats from the Farndon Fields Farm Shop. Think juicy burgers, chicken kebabs, and fresh salads for an enticing barbecue by the lake. But if the weather doesn’t play nice, fret not; the safari lodge is equipped with a fully functioning kitchen and dining area.
And for breakfast lovers, make sure to order a brekkie hamper from La Fete Fleurie, filled with an array of locally sourced goodies guaranteed to kickstart your day. If cooking feels like too much work, the glamping site offers delightful wood-fired pizzas every Saturday from May to October. And for those craving a night out, Market Harborough is close by, featuring a variety of restaurants like Dim Sum Master for noodle enthusiasts or Ascough’s Bistro for an exquisite steak.
Adventure Awaits: Just a Stone’s Throw Away
As thrilling as the luxury accommodations are, adventure is what really makes a getaway unforgettable. Make sure to visit Mini Meadows Farm, just an eight-minute drive away. Guests at Brook Meadow receive free tickets, allowing you and your family to engage with adorable farm animals—think bottle-feeding cheerful lambs, llamas, rabbits, and even alpacas!
