As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will instantly relax and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Set a stone’s throw apart, Croxton Lodge is located on the right and Curlew’s Nest on the left. The plush, grand yet comfortable Croxton Lodge offers guests a unique and memorable stay. With an upside-down layout, this luxury property is accessed via external stone steps leading to the spacious kitchen, which has a range cooker, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher and fully equipped to accommodate all your cooking needs. Leading to an open plan space, the dining room allows all guests to come together and has an opulent air, heightened by beautifully exposed wooden beams. Adjoining is a living area adorned with a myriad of cosy sofas and a further snug and bar area. With even more to explore, downstairs offers guests a games room with a full-size snooker table and another warm seating area with a large TV and access to Sky. With a choice of four luxurious yet cosy en-suite bedrooms equipped to the highest standard to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep, providing a stocked mini-fridge, TVs, tea/coffee making facilities and fluffy robes.
A short distance across the courtyard is Curlew’s Nest, a modern property inside but still with a sense of character and an equally luxurious rural retreat. Entering through renovated stable doors into a light and open plan living area with high ceilings and exposed beams, this space offers a full dining table, a spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Accessed via handcrafted open-tread wooden stairs are four en-suite bedrooms, decorated and equipped to luxury standard, offering a stocked mini-fridge, TVs, tea/coffee making facilities and fluffy robes.
Both Croxton Lodge and Curlew’s Nest provide a range of outdoor furniture offering the ability to relax and enjoy the stunning views of Croxton Park Estate. Outside Croxton Lodge is a large outdoor table, several chairs, and an outdoor barbeque. Even more outdoor seating is accessed through the French doors at the back of Curlew’s Nest. In addition, on the lake’s shoreline is our wooden gazebo, providing a snug seating area with the opportunity for guests to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity the countryside provides.
Situated at the end of a private lane nestled within 200 acres of private estate, our lodge and cottage are surrounded by a multitude of beautiful lakes, woodlands and Leicestershire’s rolling pastures and open fields, an ideal rural escape for walkers and wildlife lovers.

Unfortunately we had a number of issues. The main one being a water pump failure which whilst resolved on the second day (we were there for less than 48 hours in total) meant there was insufficient pressure to run the dishwashers. That meant we had to do dishes for 16 people by hand (we had rented both cottages) which takes a long time and severely curtailed our time together. In addition many of the luxurious touches advertised were not provided (hot tub, tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms, robes and slippers. Frustratingly there was very little concern from the management team who tried to fob me off to start with and get me to arrange the repairs. There was no contact to see if they could assist or if things had resolved. Whilst we loved the space it was a trial having to waste so many of our few waking hours doing unnecessary dishes. I would be reluctant to book again as if we did experience an issue I don't believe it would be dealt with correctly. That and the price we paid was far too much for what we actually received.

Unfortunately some of our party would not stay here again. All the bedrooms are en-suite wet rooms but there are no doors on the bathrooms, and some only have half walls. It meant that the toilet in the main house next to the snooker room got a lot of use! The positives are a fabulous open plan area for dining, sitting and a cosy nook by the fire. We really enjoyed that. And the views and locations are stunning. The snooker room and tv room downstairs are also good. The kitchen in the main house is very small but we managed fine with it. Negatives - the house needs a cleaning/maintenance review. The microwave was very dirty, there was no grill pan, only one shelf in the main oven. I had asked for the house to be warm on arrival but it was cold because the heating was off!!!! And 2 radiators weren’t working. They did get an engineer out first thing Sat am and the house was toasty warm after that. Some of the lights in the sitting room weren’t working. There were no matches for the candles or fire so we had to go back out after arrival to buy some! Not what you’d expect from a luxury holiday house.
