Had a lovely weekend stay at Hedgehog lodge, despite the terrible weather! Lodge has everything you would need, and was clean and comfy. The hot tub was amazing and sure the night sky would have been too if the clouds had cleared. Derby and Donington Park are just a short drive away.

This is a fantastic log cabin. Location is brilliant with beautiful views and sheep, horses and chickens outside. Access to fields for walks on the doorstep. Cabin itself was spotlessly clean and we loved the decor. Loved that there was an ensuite for each bedroom. Hot tub was amazing and again so clean and really well looked after. Owners are loveRead morely and check that you have everything you need. I would definitely recommend this cabin, we hope to book again soon. Thankyou for a wonderful stay. Hide

Caroline

Absolutely beautiful lodge inside and out. Very well equipped with everything you could need and more. Exceptionally clean. Very peaceful location and close to plenty of places to visit for adults, young children and teenagers! Chickens were a great hit with the kids. Would strongly recommend.

Leslie

Very nice, very smart, very good location (if you like being away from it all). I thought the bed was small ("ordinary double bed size") but comfortable, maybe our own bed is simply larger than average. I thought it was a higher cost than similar lodges that we've been to - and we've been to quite a few. Overall VG.

Well stocked kitchen Complementary eggs milk and biscuits which was nice. Well decorated, clean and high speck throughout. Owners nearby very friendly and helpful.

Melanie

Lovely, clean and comfortable lodge with a hot tub. Great dog walks from the lodge. Good welcoming hospitality from the hosts.

Jane

Lovely lodge, beautifully designed. The owners are so helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. They made us feel very welcome. So nice to wake up and look out over the fields and see horses, sheep and chickens. The hot tub is a bonus and is spotlessly clean. The welcome pack is very generous and includes fresh eggs from the chickens. Makes a lovel y break for a group of friends or a family of four. Would recommend.
