We had a fantastic stay for a 50th birthday. Facilities were great, loved the hot tub and the karaoke machine. Nice touch having the robes in each room. Kitchen fully kitted out with everything you need, welcome pamper was a nice surprise too. Place was spotlessly clean and beds were comfy. Walking distance to pubs, restaurants and Bolsover castle just round the corner. A great weekend had by all. Host was fab too, plenty of useful videos provided on how to operate facilities. Great value for money, would definitely return.

Just returned from family break, ideally located with shops, restaurants, pubs in walking distance, castle on the door step. We had a fab time so much in the area to see and do. 1st time to this area for me, love the architecture and pretty flowers in all villages and towns beautifully kept. This house has it all, party room, steam room, sauna, hot tub well equipped. Dinning room was tight with 8 never mind 10. Kitchen is well equipped and it's nice that coffee, oils etc are there to use been to so many where there's nothing left, we left sone frozen food unopened hope its useful to someone . Welcoming basket was great ty, the children soon emptied it.Owners helpful when we couldn't get something working. Would definitely recommend, few DIY jobs need attention like taps etc
