Great place for friends with places to eat nearby

Lovely place for a break. The hot tub and karaoke were great. There were a couple of times I needed to contact the host regarding the Internet and karaoke machine but they replied really quickly and they were sorted out. A few of the chairs require some maintenance as they are wobbly. I think it would benefit from a toilet in the main house rather than using the toilet in the spa area for the 2 downstairs bedrooms. We had a great time and would recommend for a party celebration.

We had a fantastic stay for a 50th birthday. Facilities were great, loved the hot tub and the karaoke machine. Nice touch having the robes in each room. Kitchen fully kitted out with everything you need, welcome pamper was a nice surprise too. Place was spotlessly clean and beds were comfy. Walking distance to pubs, restaurants and Bolsover castle just round the corner. A great weekend had by all. Host was fab too, plenty of useful videos provided on how to operate facilities. Great value for money, would definitely return.
