Reviewers frequently commend the lodge for its cleanliness, describing it as 'spotless' and 'immaculate', indicating a high standard of hygiene and care.
The lodge's location is celebrated for its tranquillity and beautiful views over the lake, though some guests note it is secluded and driving is necessary for days out.

Near the gorgeous Derbyshire Dales on the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire is the historic village of Donisthorpe. This flourishing, former mining community contains one of the village's oldest structures, a post office, a shop, and is conveniently placed in the National Forest near numerous picture-perfect communities and interesting cities. A nearby town called Burton upon Trent, which spans the Trent River and is known for its breweries and numerous award-winning ales, is situated nearby. The town's history is heavily reliant on alabaster carving, textile production, and labourers for the cotton mills. There is a fantastic tourist centre at the site of the Battle of Bosworth in the small market town of Market Bosworth, which is only a short drive away.

Cath
Thank you. It was everything we were looking for. Nice welcome from the owner and a basket of food to start us off! The hot tub was brilliant, it was ready for us and all we had to do was lift the cover. Loved the view, and the location. Would definitely recommend to friends and family for a romantic getaway.

A really nice self contained area we enjoyed and relaxed in. The view was stunning and the hot tub setup was fantastic. It canât be faulted. If you want a 121 romantic get away. This is the place for you. Only issues were the bed being uncomfortable for us. To hard and it did impact sleep. However, this is personal taste and might be fine for others.
