We spent a lovely week at Westerly Nook which is situated on a very small, and quaint street. Our 11 year old daughter loved the park opposite which was an added bonus. Only a 5 minute walk into the beautiful village of Willington,10 minutes to Mercia Marina along the tranquil canal towpath, and a stones throw from some fabulous pubs and Restaurants, The Dragon being especially good! The accommodation was excellent, spotlessly clean, modern, and with all the amenities and facilities we needed, and more. They even had a SKY Q box with all the channels and movies. All in all the accommodation was really comfortable and we also thought it was very good value for money. We visited Derby, Stoke, Burton and into the Derbyshire Dales which were all a short drive away and the highlight was our 2 days at Alton Towers, only 20 minutes away, so the perfect accommodation for you thrill-seekers. A delightful home from home, and we will be going back on our next trip to the area! Thank you to all the team at Westerly Nook :-)

The property was comfortable, modern, and immaculately clean. It's in a new-build housing estate in the quaint Willington village, so if you're looking for a middle-of-nowhere cottage with no neighbours, look elsewhere. For us though, it was perfect for a base and to do work from while we were in the area. Contrary to another review complaining about a barking dog from a neighbour, we had no issues at all. We would be happy to stay again when next in the area. Thank you.

Close to amenities in Willington, Repton, Derby and Burton and lots to do in the area. Considering itâs on a housing estate, I found it to be really quiet too. As itâs less than 5 miles from my daughter, Iâd definitely consider staying there again.
