Ashby is just a short drive away with plenty of places to eat and drink. The hot tub is absolute bliss after a day of exploring - nothing beats soaking under the stars with a favourite drink.
This compact but perfectly formed lodge sleeps 2 in a double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. The open-plan living area has everything you need - central heating, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher (no washing up on holiday!) and 2 Smart TVs for when British weather does its thing.
Visit Calke Abbey (15 miles, 25 mins) to explore its 'un-stately home', wander through Moira Furnace Museum (3 miles, 7 mins), discover Ashby Castle (6 miles, 15 mins), or enjoy Conkers outdoor adventure center (3 miles, 8 mins). Dog owners will love the nearby walking opportunities.
Spindle is perfect for couples wanting quality time together. The decked area with hot tub is ideal for evening drinks and the on-site fishing means you can catch dinner if you're feeling ambitious. Just don't blame me when you book extra days.
