"We had an amazing week and honestly, this lodge ranks among the best we've stayed in. The welcome pack was a really thoughtful touch. Thanks so much!"
"Great weekend! Visiting the Arboretum was lovely and relaxing in the hot tub was perfect. Would go again!"
"We've stayed at Knights Lodge a few times now and its always a lovely experience. The location is spot on - just 20 minutes from home but feels much further away in a good way, surrounded by nice walks and close to Burton and Ashby for shopping. The lodge itself is always spotless and well-maintained. The hot tub is a real treat, kept clean daily, which we really appreciate. Only downside this time was Poppy Lodges seating - its a bit cramped with six people, so some extra chairs or a sofa would make it perfect. Still, well definitely be back!"
"We've stayed at Knights Lodges several times, but this was our first time in an Autograph Lodge. Booking for our family of five, including four adults and a teen, was straightforward and hassle-free. The lodge was spotless and well-equipped, with plenty of space. The hot tub was a lovely touch! Overall, a really relaxing stay wed happily repeat."
"Our Knights Lodges review: We had a fantastic time at the lodge! The hot tub with stunning views made our Christmas really special. Already booked for next year!"
"The cottage was just lovely, especially with the hot tub and log burner. The hosts really made us feel welcome. Hope we come back soon!"
"We stayed here recently and honestly, the staff really go above and beyond-so attentive and friendly. The place is spotless, quiet and the little welcome pack was a nice touch. WiFi was quick and reliable, which was great for our plans. The only minor annoyances were the sofa being a bit firm and a few more utensils wouldve been handy. Also, trying to get hot water was a bit of a hassle and the bins at the front caused some chaos at checkout. But overall, wed definitely recommend it!"
"We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot tucked away in a peaceful, private setting. The owners were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but it still felt quite secluded. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling, honestly! One thing to keep in mind is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth considering if noise bothers you. Overall, a great place to unwind!"
"The place felt just like a cosy home and the host really made an effort to help us out."
"We loved the cosy feel of this cottage. Its perfectly tucked away but still near the local shops and amenities, which was great. The hot tub and underfloor heating made it extra special. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie were lovely hosts. Cant wait to come back soon!"
"We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was charming with a cosy log burner and hot tub. Hosts were lovely, very peaceful, cant wait to come back!"
"Weve stayed here a few times now and honestly, its always a pleasure. The lodges are really well thought out, with those nice little touches like bread, milk, cake and even a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us on arrival - its those details that make a difference. We love returning to Knights Lodges because it just feels like home. Definitely planning to come back next year, cant wait! Such a lovely spot!"
"Absolutely loved our stay! The lodge was super cosy and in a great spot. Perfect for relaxing, especially with the hot tub, yet still handy for shops and everything else we needed. Will return!"

"The sofa wasnt very comfy, but overall, we had a fantastic stay! Would definitely return."
"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was spotless and cosy, with a hot tub that was perfect after a day of exploring. The welcome pack with wine, bread and cake was a lovely touch. We didnt need to bother staff at all since we were out most of the day. The park was quiet and peaceful. Fantastic value, especially for November. Well be back!"
"We really enjoyed our stay! The personal hamper on arrival was such a lovely touch. The owners were super friendly and made sure to visit every day, which we appreciated. The only thing that could have been better was the kitchen stuff - a few more utensils like a wooden spoon or some bigger bowls wouldve helped. Still, we got creative! Definitely planning to come back soon. Thanks a lot xx"
"Comfortable lodge, great location, friendly staff, loved it!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, will definitely come again."
"We had such a lovely stay! Six of us met up for our annual uni reunion and everything was just spot on. From the warm welcome with fresh bread, a cake and milk in the fridge, to the super comfy beds that fit us all easily. The fluffy white robes were a nice touch too. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day. Huge thanks to Jodie and her family for making us feel so welcome. Well definitely be recommending and hopefully coming back soon! It was truly a great experience."

"Fantastic lodge for a holiday. The hot tub was amazing and really did the trick for spending an evening. Although in a quiet location, there was plenty of places to visit close by including Alton Towers. The lodge was spotless, hosts were lovely and very informative and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. Highly recommend this place for families."
"Great lodges for a quiet relaxing break."
"Very comfortable accommodation! Great facilities! Good location, out on its own, but only 5mins drive from a shop and 10mins from Burton for a wider range of shops etc! We stayed with our 2 kids and everyone really enjoyed our stay! We will be back!"
"Would reccommend and stay again 100%"
"Perfect holiday"
"We absolutely loved the lodge was lovely and quiet you do need to travel by car to get anywhere"
"Lodges are brand new and spotless. Owners communication was superb and the only difficulty we had was dealt with extremely quickly. Lovely location too. We plan to go back and would highly recommend to others. Only 2 points were that there is not much privacy for hot tubs as hedges are new and have not grown in yet and that there was no cafetiere."
"Superb location and fantastic quality lodges. We've visited Knights Lodges 4 time now, and we're always really happy with everything about our stay."
"Enjoyed stay nice and peaceful.will book again"
"Lovely lodge .. new, clean, spacious, well furnished. Great hot tub. In a field overlooking sheep. Not too far from food shops. Near a garden centre. Could do with oven glove, surface cleaning spray, a better can opener and corkscrew, more cutlery and another pan (we cook rather than eat out). Staff respond quickly to queries and care about your holiday experience."
"We enjoyed a three nights with my family.
It is very unique stay with mix of luxury and countryside feeling.
The customer service was very helpful and they were willing to help.
I highly recommend this destination for who is looking for a relaxation away from the city."

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.

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.
