Had another lovely stay at Glossoms Lodge. Very comfortable, clean and spacious and very peaceful. It's better than it looks in the on-line photos. The hosts, Sandy and Paul are very friendly and helpful. There is plenty to see and do in and around the East Midlands and we will definitely be back again.

Glossoms Lodge is very comfortable. Good location for the many places to visit in the area. Well equipped, spacious kitchen/diner. Bathroom has a bath with shower over which gives the option of quick shower or lovely relaxing bath at the end of a days sightseeing. Would stay there again in the future.

We've had a lovely stay at Glossoms Lodge. Very peaceful and very comfortable. Spotlessly clean, with everything you need for a week's break. The welcome pack was lovely. We'd love to go back again.
