Welcome to Medbourne Edge Retreat, part of our Autograph Lodge Holidays collection—an exclusive luxury escape nestled in the serene Leicestershire countryside.
Picture a lodge deck at the edge of a still lake, coffee in hand, with nothing but rolling fields and the odd heron between you and the horizon. That's the quiet side of a break here. Leicestershire sits bang in the middle of England, so most of the country can reach it in a couple of hours, and the holiday parks Leicestershire has tucked between its market towns are small, peaceful and full of nature.
Don't expect giant seaside resorts with arcades and a pool complex.
Expect lakes, woodland and luxury lodges for couples and families, with Bradgate Park and the National Space Centre a short drive away. Every drive time below is from Leicester.
Three of the parks you can book with us are inside the county, and three more sit just over the Derbyshire border. Every one has a tub bubbling away on the decking.
Market Bosworth, near Nuneaton - 30 mins' drive - sleeps up to 6 - hot tubs / pets welcome / fishing
Lodges ring a huge glittering lake on the Warwickshire border, set in 50 acres of parkland with 20 acres of lakes and lagoons. There are water activities and plenty to do on dry land too. Smaller lodges sleep four in a double and a bunk room, and the covered veranda looks straight over the water. Guests rate it 4.9 out of 5.
Earl Shilton - 16 mins' drive - sleeps up to 4 - hot tubs / adults only
Want to stay close to the city? This is it.
A cosy, secluded, adults-only park in the low hills of the Leicestershire countryside, where every holiday home has its own private hot tub for stargazing. The two-bedroom lodges have a king bed and two large singles. Bosworth Battlefield, where Richard III lost his crown in 1485, is only about ten minutes down the road.
Medbourne, Market Harborough - 34 mins' drive - sleeps up to 6 - hot tubs / pets welcome / fishing
You arrive down a long, sweeping drive lined with wildflowers and through a gated entrance, and by the time you've parked the rest of the world has fallen away. It opened in 2023 as part of the Autograph Lodge Holidays collection.
Book an in-lodge spa treatment on a Saturday between 10am and 6pm, or wander the trails to the natural pond.
Overseal, near Ashby de la Zouch - 41 mins' drive - sleeps up to 6 - hot tubs / pets welcome
These boutique lodges from the Evermore collection look out over unspoilt countryside from a waterside setting. Inside there's a master double with en suite, a twin that can become a double and a sound system, with double doors onto the decking. It's a lovely spot for a slow weekend.
Overseal, near Ashby de la Zouch - 41 mins' drive - sleeps up to 6 - hot tubs / pets welcome
Also at Overseal, these adult-only luxury lodges are made for couples, with Egyptian cotton bed linen and a resident therapist offering facials and massage. Ashby itself, with its ruined castle, is just across the Leicestershire border.

Been typing "holiday parks near me" from the city? The county splits neatly into three bases.
Market squares, the Ashby Canal and the battlefield make this the best area for a family holiday with some historic days out. Twycross Zoo is close by, and so is Market Bosworth itself, a proper little market town for a night out.
Big skies, open countryside and quiet lanes along the Northamptonshire border, with Foxton Locks nearby.
Young woodland planted over old coal workings, with Conkers and the bike paths at Hicks Lodge on your doorstep. The Peak District is within reach for a longer day.
For more choice, see our holiday parks across the East Midlands, or cross into Northamptonshire or Nottinghamshire, where Sherwood Forest is about an hour north.
Around 550 red and fallow deer roam more than 830 acres of medieval deer park, and you can scramble up to Old John, the folly on the hill, for views over Charnwood Forest. Lady Jane Grey grew up here. The ruins of her family home still stand, and there's a free visitor centre and two tearooms.
More at Bradgate Park.
Follow the paths where Richard III fell to Henry Tudor, past the memorial sundial and King Richard's Well. Each August the Medieval Festival fills the fields with reenactors, and in 2026 it ran on 22 and 23 August. The heritage centre lists what's on.
Stand over the spot in the city where the king's remains were found under a car park in 2012. It's open daily from 10am, apart from Christmas, New Year and about twelve days in January, and booking ahead on the visitor centre website works out cheaper.
The Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium here is the biggest in the UK!
Over 40 rides, a water park and more than 125,000 square feet of indoor play mean a wet day isn't wasted. Children under 95cm get in free. Check Twinlakes for the season's activities before you go.
Twycross is known for its apes, and in summer 2026 it ran Zoolapalooza from 11 July to 6 September. Over at Moira, Conkers packs 120 acres with trails, the Barefoot Walk, high ropes and a 4D cinema.
Ride vintage steam trains from Loughborough on eight miles of mostly double track, a layout no other heritage line in the UK has. Santa Express trains run on winter nights from late November.
Watch narrowboats climb the ten staircase locks at Foxton, the longest flight of its kind in Britain, then grab lunch at one of the two pubs.
Hungry? Melton is the home of the pork pie, protected since 2009, and Leicestershire is one of only three counties allowed to make Stilton. For a special night, John's House at Mountsorrel holds a Michelin star.
Most lodges here sleep four to six, so sharing with friends or grandparents keeps a break affordable over three or four nights.
Are there holiday parks near Leicester?
Yes. King Richards Country Lodges at Earl Shilton is about 16 minutes away, and the Market Bosworth lake is about 30 minutes.
Can I book a static caravan in Leicestershire?
The parks we list here are all lodges. For a caravan park, Eye Kettleby Lakes near Melton has adult-only touring pitches and Bosworth Water Trust takes touring caravans, but you can't book either with us.
Which holiday parks in Leicestershire are pet friendly?
Bosworth Lakeside, the Market Harborough lodges, both Ashby Woulds parks and Knights Lodges take pets. You can also search every pet-friendly park.
Are there adults-only lodges?
Yes. King Richards and the adult-only lodges at Ashby Woulds.
Which park has a swimming pool?
Knights Lodges at Bretby has an indoor heated pool and a sauna. The others are quieter lodge parks without one.
Is Leicestershire good for a family break?
Very. Twinlakes, Twycross Zoo, the Space Centre and Conkers are all within easy reach of the western and National Forest parks.
How many nights should we stay?
Three or four nights covers a couple of big days out plus a slow day on the park. A week lets you add Rutland Water or the Peak District.
Most of the holiday parks Leicestershire can claim are small and quiet, and that's exactly the point. Pick the lake, the woods or the spa, then browse every park with a tub on the deck or use our postcode search to find one closer to home. A night or two on the deck, and you'll see why people keep coming back.
