A very beautifully designed property, offered at a high standard. Beautiful views and hot tub facility. Enjoyed a relaxing girls weekend break. Kitchen was well equipped with cleaning products and tea towels even a bit of laundry detergent. We had a cute bowl of welcome snacks too. Lovely touch. We had a slight heating issue the first day, underfloor heating took 12 hours to hit a comfortable temperature. However, the host was kind enough to come check it the next morning to check it. We were celebrating a 40th birthday, perfect location for switching off and having a cosy break with friends. Only slight criticism is the size of the Tv and sofa’s could be a bit bigger for 4 people. Only because we stayed in mostly and watched movies it could’ve been a little more spacious. Would definitely visit again, it was a perfect luxury feel stay. Thank you

This is a very well decorated and comfortable property with fantastic views. It is light and airy with a lot of space. The WiFi is of good standard and we could stream without issue. There are two very nice pubs in walking distance offering good food. It is a short distance from Calke Abbey which is a good day out. The owner left some very good treats for us which were much appreciated. Our only very minor issue was that the pillows provided were quite hard and it might be better to offer a variety of pillow firmness.
