Did you know we host Hen Party alpaca walking experiences too?!🥳🍷

Obviously hen party experiences are super exciting for all members of the group, but why not do something a little different for yours?🦙

Here at Rustic Retreats we offer private, personal hen party experiences so just your group will be on the trek! We have up to 11 alpacas which can be trekked, but if your group is larger than that, don’t worry! You are all more than welcome to come and can just swap over who walks the alpacas😏

Here’s a fab group photo from this weekends hen party, despite the cloudy weather, they all had a great time and were so lovely☺️
If you’re interested in bringing your bridal crew to the farm please get in touch with us via email at [email protected] 👰‍♀️🤵

*If you have a hen due over the next few weeks make sure to book now to secure your private experience! You’ll also get to meet all our newborn lambs on the farm and possibly help us bottle feed a few🍼🐑

The Christmas gift that will make you their favourite person this year.

A Rustic Retreats gift voucher is the kind of Christmas gift that makes someone genuinely stop, look up, and say “are you serious right now?” in the best possible way.

No guessing sizes. No hoping they like it. No January returns. Just a proper, beautiful, completely unforgettable experience in the Peak District waiting for them to enjoy.

Here’s what you can gift this Christmas:

🏡 A cottage stay — Jack’s Cottage or Owslow Cottage. Stone walls, hot tubs, wood burners, alpacas next door and the most stunning Peak District views on the doorstep. For the ones who need a proper escape.

🚐 Waters View campervan pitch — our exclusive luxury pitch with private hot tub, egg chair, fire pit and uninterrupted views over Carsington Reservoir. For the campervan lovers who deserve something really special. (Redeemable from April 2027)

🦙 Alpaca trekking experience — 75 minutes of pure joy across 500 acres of beautiful countryside with our gorgeous herd. For absolutely everyone. Seriously — everyone loves this one.

Vouchers are available in a range of amounts, beautifully presented, and valid for 12 months — so there’s no pressure on dates and plenty of time to look forward to it.

Because the best gifts aren’t things. They’re moments. They’re mornings that make you forget what stress feels like. They’re evenings in a hot tub under a Peak District sky wondering why you don’t do this more often. They’re memories that are still being talked about at Christmas dinner next year. 🤍

Order by 15th December for guaranteed Christmas delivery. 🎄

📩 DM us or email [email protected] to order yours
