Looking for a luxury countryside escape that feels like a festival without the queues? Our weekend at Lady Heyes Cheshire Glamping gave us exactly that. Just 50 minutes from Liverpool, this gem in Frodsham delivered private hot tubs, tipi camping under the Strawberry Moon, and breakfasts worthy of a festival blogger’s dream.
Arrival at Lady Heyes: The Windsor Pod Dream
As soon as we arrived at Lady Heyes Cheshire Glamping, we were greeted by the loveliest team at reception—warm, down-to-earth, and full of tips about the site and surrounding area. They handed us the keys to our Windsor Pod, and within minutes we felt at home.
Our pod? Pure festival luxury. A wood-clad glamping suite for two, tucked in the adults-only section of the park. There was a plush double bed dressed in crisp white sheets, a flat-screen TV (perfect for lazy evenings), and a compact kitchenette for snacks and morning coffee. The ensuite bathroom was spotless and modern, and best of all: outside, a private hot tub already bubbling away, and a fire pit ready to spark memories.
It felt like someone had taken all the best bits of a music festival—the joy, the colour, the sense of escape—and stripped away the mud, chaos, and queues.
BBQ, Bubbles & Being Present
That night, with our disposable BBQ from reception sizzling away, we cooked juicy chicken and sweet peppers under a setting sun. No fancy sauces, no overthinking—just simple food, cooked slowly, with laughter in the air.
After dinner, we slipped into the hot tub, steam rising as the sky blushed pink. These are the moments that stay with you. Luke and I just sat there, completely present, letting the warm water melt away the rush of everyday life.
Later, we cuddled up indoors, flicked through the TV channels, and talked about everything and nothing. It was the kind of night that makes your shoulders drop and your heart feel soft.
The Pod Kitchen Breakfasts
The next morning, we strolled to The Pod Kitchen—Lady Heyes’s on-site café and the ultimate glamping breakfast stop. Our order? A classic British camping bap: sizzling bacon, a fried egg, and sausage on a soft white roll. It was the kind of breakfast that tastes even better because you earned it with a good night’s sleep and a dose of fresh air.
We sat outdoors with warm mugs of tea, surrounded by families, couples, and other glampers, all sharing smiles. It had all the charm of a festival morning, but without the portaloos or queues. Honestly? It was heaven.
From Windsor Pod to Boutique Bell Tent
After checkout, we weren’t ready to leave. So, we transitioned from luxury glamping pod life to something a bit more boho—pitching up our own boutique bell tent in the overflow touring field of Lady Heyes.
This part of the park felt even more peaceful, with rolling green space, hook-up points, and plenty of room to spread out. There was no hot tub this time, but there was something almost more magical about falling asleep to the sounds of the countryside, zipped into our tipi, wrapped in fairy lights and blankets.
The Strawberry Moon & Frodsham Magic
That night, the Strawberry Moon was going to rise like a peachy glow above the trees but alas we fell asleep soon after the summer night dipped. We did however spend our time laying on the grass, sipping sparkling water wrapped up in cardigans, talking about life. Utterly soul-nourishing!
Earlier that day, we’d hopped in a local taxi and explored Frodsham town, just a few minutes down the road. The high street was full of charm—cute shops, friendly faces, and little gems like Zucca, the Italian restaurant we tried for lunch. It gave us serious Lark Lane vibes—a little indie, a little foodie, and completely unforgettable.
