  • Luxury glamping site on seven private acres with a working vineyard
  • Half a mile's stroll from Uppingham; 10 mins' drive to Rutland Water
  • Individually designed and fully equipped canopy tents; firepit outside
Of all the things you might expect to see in your surroundings when you stay in Rutland, fields full of grapes may not be the first to spring to mind… That, however, is exactly what you'll get at Old Oak Farm, a luxurious glampsite where the swish tents sit in seven acres of private land with a working vineyard. Each canopy bell tent sits in its own private space of 24 square metres, with hidden picnic areas and secluded hideaways scattered about to help you make the most of the lovely views and peaceful atmosphere. The site was taken over by new owners in 2022, and they've made a real effort to provide a warm welcome and a comfy place to stay. The accommodation is individually designed and kitted out with contemporary furnishings, a handmade kingsize oak bed, kitchen equipment and safety items including smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Step outside and you’ll spot a firepit, verandah, tables, chairs and a parasol too. Travelling light? Bedding and towels are provided. And for off-base eats and explores? The historic town of Uppingham (half a mile away) has a small supermarket and a few takeaways, along with art shops, fashion boutiques, bistros and a Friday market. Wine bars, pubs and award-winning restaurants are within easy driving distance around Rutland. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome at the park with their own beds, but must be kept on a lead at all times due to the numerous rabbits and other wild animals on the grounds. The park asks that you please respect the land and its occupants.

Canopy rental tent

Liked: Warm welcome, clean facilities, and overall peaceful stay offering privacy and comfort. The location is close to shops (co-op at 5mins drive) and Rutland waters.

Disliked: Unfortunately the site is located close to a fairly busy road so you will still get some traffic noise of the passing by cars (which you can ignore though).

Grand Canopy rental tent

Liked: Such a beautifully looked after site & vineyard by Emma & Matt who were so friendly & always there if we needed anything. We were surrounded by trees, grapevines & wild flowers & the playing field was fantastic for our older kids who loved to use the volleyball net & play football. We were able to easily have a bbq over the fire on an evening & roasted marshmallows too! Thanks for having us 😊.

Canopy 5 rental tent (large, six person)

Liked: The beautiful peaceful setting. The working nature of the vineyard. The space and privacy the pitches offer, the facilities including very good quality toilet and shower area, solar device charging, fire pit and cooking facilities, access to water at each pitch, with all basic kitchen items also provided. The warm, friendly Welcome and hosting from Emma and family was lovely. The location and local activities nearby including market towns and Rutland water gave us and our family plenty to keep us occupied though there is plenty of space at the site you wouldn't need to leave. Also excellent 4G mobile coverage!

Liked: The Camping site is one of the best places I have ever been! Everything it is immaculate, the attention to detail is incredible and the attention/ service is wonderful. We stayed in the Canopies and I can’t explain how comfortable and clean it is. I will come back for sure! Can’t recommend enough!

Local attractions

Travelling on public transport? Great news: Oakham (10 minutes’ drive) has trains to and from London, Cambridge and Birmingham. If you’re exploring by car, head over to Rockingham Castle (10 minutes), for a tour of the Norman building and a treat in the tearoom, or creep along to Bugtopia The Zoo (15 minutes) with the kids to interact with 75 different types of reptiles and invertebrates. Try to spot a few creatures out in the wild as well with a bit of birdwatching at Rutland Water (20 minutes); the huge lake is also a go-to for fishing, watersports and pleasure cruises. It has a 25-mile walking and cycling track around the perimeter too if you’re up for a bit more exercise. Already explored all of Uppingham but still fancy town times? Mosey over to Market Harborough (30 minutes) and idle in the independent shops or look to Leicester (40 minutes) for strolls around a 900-year-old cathedral. The nearby King Richard III Visitor Centre gives guests the lowdown on the royal’s life and you can head to Leicester Castle as well to see the place where he lived out his final days.
