In The Stix - Oakham

Melisa C

Booked last minute at the end of a challenging summer. The booking process was super easy. Alex is a great communicator. The location was great (remote but with a Superstore Supermarket about 10min drive away). The accommodation was just perfect! We were surprised and delighted to have stairs in our dome! It was like home-from-home. The hot tub was utilised almost every evening (despite the rain) and the other families on site were sufficiently spaced out enough to exchange pleasantries yet remain discreet. And as for Jane (interim site manager) - she was so, so helpful she made our first glamping experience a fabulous one. I would highly recommend and I would definitely go again, next time with friends and their families. Thank you Alex & Darren!

We really enjoyed our stay at In The Stix. The Pods and facilities are excellent. The bathroom really exceeded our expectations and was as good as most hotel bathrooms, very impressed. The wood burning stove in the pods are a welcome addition and Jane's (site Manager) hand over was perfect, meaning we had no problems getting it lit. It really helps take the chill out of the air. We also made use of the wood burning oven and hot tub. You have to be patient when heating the hot tub, it can take up to 3 hours, but when it's up to temperature they really are great. The sight itself is really well laid out, with plenty of room between pods and the location is fab too. We made the most of the recommendations and went to 2 of the gastro pubs and made the most of the local attractions. Overall we had a fab time and wouldn't hesitate in recommending.

We chose In The Stix to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary as we’d stayed in the domes before and knew it would be a great location. We had 100 guests, many of whom stayed on-site; either in the domes or camping in the additional field.

From beginning to end we were looked after by the owners Alex & Darren who made sure we had an amazing weekend.

We had caterers for the main meal and a bar for the evening, but In The Stix also provided delicious breakfast hampers and meal pots for anyone who needed it – so no-one went hungry!

Alex organised everything for us including the caterers, the bar, the photographer and a licence for the event so that we could have music outside until late. We used many different parts of the site; the woods for our ceremony, the brook for cutting the cake and the event space for our food.

The event space was used again on Sunday for homemade pizzas, and all those staying in the domes enjoyed a relaxing hot-tub.

We had so much positive feedback from all our friends and family who all agreed it was the perfect weekend, and we now have so many happy memories to look back on – thank you In The Stix.

This was my first glamping experience and I can confirm it was one of the best weekends away I have ever had! Lovely location with absolutely stunning glamping pods which have their own outdoor space and hot tub. Mowed pathways to walk to the local village which has 2 lovely pubs. All in all fantastic experience with helpful friendly hosts, 110% recommend!

We had a fabulous weekend. Loved the space and rooms. Hot tubs and fire pit were so much fun too. Perfect for a family with their friends!

Our second time at In The Stixt and we loved it as much as the first time!

The whole experience is wonderful it’s so well thought through by Alex & Darren (who are lovely) & whole family can get involved which makes it so fun!

The beds are comfy, the duvets are an amazing treat, there’s always hot water - for the shower and kitchen.

We love the wood burner which makes the dome super cosy and the hot tub is a massive treat too! The kids love it!

We took our new dog this year who loved it too 🙂

There’s so much to do locally walking distance and Rutland Waters is a short trip in the car.

We highly recommend In The Stixt and will be back!

Thank you Alex & Darren! X

We had a wonderful stay at this fabulous setup. The dome and field kitchen were very well equipped with lots of little touches and thoughtfully laid out. The wood fired oven was great fun to cook in and the hot tub was a real touch of luxury. We had a really relaxing time with great weather. It was unseasonably cold at night but the bed was cosy and comfortable. Thanks to the proprietors Alex and Darren for providing a memorable experience. We will definitely be back. Steve and Lynda
