Near the gorgeous Derbyshire Dales on the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire is the historic village of Donisthorpe. This flourishing, former mining community contains one of the village's oldest structures, a post office, a shop, and is conveniently placed in the National Forest near numerous picture-perfect communities and interesting cities. A nearby town called Burton upon Trent, which spans the Trent River and is known for its breweries and numerous award-winning ales, is situated nearby. The town's history is heavily reliant on alabaster carving, textile production, and labourers for the cotton mills. There is a fantastic tourist centre at the site of the Battle of Bosworth in the small market town of Market Bosworth, which is only a short drive away.

Thank you. It was everything we were looking for. Nice welcome from the owner and a basket of food to start us off! The hot tub was brilliant, it was ready for us and all we had to do was lift the cover. Loved the view, and the location. Would definitely recommend to friends and family for a romantic getaway.

The tray of breakfast items was a really nice touch. Itâs a great location and very peaceful. Just two niggles: 1) the hob igniter didnât work. Wasnât a huge problem but may be for others wanting to cook more. 2) The lodge lacked privacy and the hot tub could be seen by the neighbouring lodge and the car park. Some privacy hedging and plants would be nice
