"We spent a week here in July with our two miniature dachshunds and honestly, it was just lovely. The cottage itself is charming and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching weather, as it cooled the water nicely. The hosts made us feel super welcome and it was nice to see their dogs being taken out to the fields daily. Being close to Stansted's flight path was actually quite interesting - watching the planes land was pretty cool! Overall, wed definitely recommend for a peaceful escape. Well be back!"
"Great place, loved it"
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was peaceful and well-equipped and the hot tub was a lovely touch. The hosts were friendly, making it all feel even more welcoming. Perfect for some quiet downtime. Cheers!"
"Absolutely loved our time at Goddards Mead! The cottage was just perfect for what we needed. Well definitely return!"
"Our Colliery Lane Lodges review: We just got back from a four-night stay at this cottage and honestly, it was lovely. The owners are really friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive, which was perfect. The fenced garden was great for our dog to roam freely. The place was fully equipped with everything we needed and we enjoyed using the bbq one evening. The hot tub was fantastic! Wed definitely come back and already recommended it to friends. Thanks for a great stay!"
"The place was absolutely gorgeous, super clean and really comfy. We had such a wonderful break, hot tub was fantastic!"
"Overall, it's a pretty decent place, but it could really use a few more essentials. With 12 girls sharing one lodge, some extra oven trays, oil and toilet rolls would make life so much easier. Still, we had a good time!"
"We stayed at the cottage recently and really enjoyed our time there, but it does need some TLC. The skirting boards and sofa cushions are quite worn and the door upstairs has a big hole covered by a sign. Also, adding curtains or blinds upstairs would make it feel more cosy. Still, a lovely place overall."
"We had a fantastic time and the teenagers loved the hot tub, even in the rain!"
"Great place to unwind and spend quality time."
"We had a relaxing holiday with loads of activities for the kids. Fishing was a highlight too, especially with affordable gear at just £17.50 all day!"
"We recently stayed at this lovely spot and honestly, it was such a treat! The cabins were spotless and cosy and the hot tub was definitely the star of the show. Our kids loved the park and theres a peaceful fishing lake nearby which we really enjoyed. One thing to note is that when we booked, it mentioned a BBQ was included, which was great, but it turns out its actually a fire pit/bbq combo. The extra £65 for the gas and grill plates caught us off guard, so itd be handy if that was clearer during booking. Still, wed happily come back - its a gorgeous place and well worth it!"
"Pretty good, just wish it was warmer."
"Loved every bit of the trip, can't wait to return soon!"
"We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Cadley lodge. It definitely exceeded our expectations - so much more spacious and cosy than we thought. My partner and I went away for a quick two-night break, just the two of us and honestly, all we did was unwind. The hot tub was a real highlight, we spent quite a bit of time in there. When we had a tiny mix-up with the temperature, the staff member onsite was super helpful and came straight over to sort it out. All in all, a 10/10 experience and were already planning to come back for another chillout soon!"
"Really good spot, the staff are super friendly and nothing's too much trouble."

"We visited for my sisters birthday the lodge was lovely really spacious and had everything we could need. We had one minor issue whilst on site we called the number in the guest book and the staff were with us in a matter of minutes they were really helpful nothing was too much. I’d highly recommend. We will be returning with our children as it is a great site for all x"
"Had the best weekend here, all the staff were amazing and made us feel really welcome, can’t wait to come back later in the year an see everyone x"
"Lovely location, good entertainment"
"Had the best break with family and friends. My daughter uses a wheelchair and the lodge was ideal. Loved the big decking, fire pit table and hot tub, also had good night in the marquee. Will be booking again for next year"
"We had a lovely week here. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The lodge was a great size and we had everything we needed. It was lovely and clean. The hot tub was lovely and was checked and cleaned each morning. We didn't do any fishing but spoke to others who did and they were catching plenty. The site is very well laid out and very tidy. The bar was very reasonably priced. The kids loved the football pitch, trampoline and Slushies! We hope to return next year."
"Had best time ever lovely clean site friendly staff definitely will return"
"Great Lodge, loads of room, hot tub excellent, was inspected and cleaned every day. Location was good, close to Conkers, Moira Furnace, and not too far to Drayton Manor, Warwick Castle.
Staff very friendly, after reading previous reviews which were pretty mixed was pleasantly surprised, all very good, we could nix pick for a few more cooking trays etc.. Shower head hose was leaking and informed staff, was fixed that day (I wish people that complain would ask as nothing seamed to be a bother). A little bit of noise came from the marque tent but this stopped after 10:30pm. Kids loved the play area which included a bouncy castle."
"Fabulous girly weekend away . Beautiful clean lodge .
Only negative is that the glasses were sparse ."

A Baroque mansion left deliberately in its faded state, with gardens and parkland to explore.
Calke Abbey is a Grade I listed Baroque mansion near Ticknall, built between 1701 and 1704 and cared for by the National Trust. Despite the name, it was never an abbey, though an Augustinian priory once stood on the site. The Harpur family owned it for nearly 300 years, and many rooms are deliberately shown in the state of decline in which the Trust received the house in 1985.
Tip: Check the National Trust website for current parking and admission details before you go. Enter via the Ticknall main entrance only, and note the 3.6-metre height restriction on the archway.
