The most beautiful place to spend a few days, a week or longer. Very quiet, great place for stargazing at night, planespotting during the day, the birds are also a joy. As for the property it has everything you need, spotlessly clean, the views sitting upstairs are fab. Would highly recommend.

Two couples stayed here for a family wedding in Ticknall. The Lookout was a luxurious place to stay, surrounded by beautiful views. The host was very helpful with enquiries before the visit and at checkout time. I would be very happy to stay here again and enjoy the wonderful high spec layout of the rooms and the hot tub looking out over the Derbyshire countryside.
