A Nottinghamshire tourist attraction is adding 10 glamping pods as part of a £684,240 investment.
The luxury cabins – each big enough for six people – are being installed in the grounds of Holme Pierrepont Country Park, home of the National Water Sports Centre, and should be open for business this spring.
It is hoped the new cabins appeal to competitors and spectators attending events at the water sports centre. Holme Pierrepont is operated by Serco Leisure Operating, under a long-term contract with Nottinghamshire County Council, which has provided the £500,000 towards the total cost. Serco Leisure will provide the rest of the money and, in return for the county council’s investment, there will be a reduction in the annual revenue fee paid to Serco to manage the site.
