A pretty little village, Rocester lies on the Derbyshire and Staffordshire border, located on a triangle of land between the River Churnet and River Dove. The site of a Roman fort exists today and the village was also mentioned in the Domesday Book. Rocester is home to the famous JCB factory, and the company has landscaped the surrounding area to provide some wonderful walks with some interesting sculptures around the site and the nearby parkland. Most significant of these is The Fossor, which is made entirely of digger parts and is a powerful representation of JCB. Rocester is halfway along the Staffordshire Way which runs the length of Staffordshire and is also at the start of the Limestone Way which goes to Matlock. Close to Rocester is the lovely market town of Ashbourne, and just a short drive away is Alton Towers, with fun for all the family. Explore either the Staffordshire or Derbyshire part of the Peak District National Park with historic houses, market towns, moorland, rolling hills and valleys, all easily accessible from Rocester.

Only 5 minute trip into Ashbourne town. The pod was amazing, the photos really donât do it justice. We had booked for two nights, I wish we had booked for longer. We really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be booking again in the future. Jane was so welcoming and friendly. She showed us around everything and showed us how things worked which was helpful.

From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The pod itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities we could ask for. Her hospitality truly made our experience unforgettable. She also provided us with great recommendations for local attractions. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her guests really set the Pods apart from any other accommodation we have stayed in. We cannot recommend Yes Deer Pod and Jane enough. If you're looking for a peaceful and charming getaway with exceptional hospitality, this is the place to be. Me and my Fiancé have came home feeling lighter and stress free. Thank you Jane, for a truly fabulous stay! Best Wishes from Raj and Brad xx

Just the pictures alone wowâd us so seeing the pod in real life well and truely knocked us off our feet. Jane the owner met us to talk us through everything which was so helpful and she even added touches such as petals and wooden hearts around the room. There is a folder with everthing in from resteraunts to walk and all the appliances and how they work. The pod itself was so clean and all the little details honestly were breathtaking we could not believe our luck! The wood fired hot tub was absolutely amazing we havenât seen one before and we loved setting it up every night and looking at the stars! Just a short 4 minute walk away was the village pub and not even a 15 minute drive was Ashbourne centre. We canât wait to re book next year for our 1 year anniversary.
