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.

If you need a get away for some well earned rest and relaxation this is the place, the owners are the kindest people and will help you if you need it just a call away. If you bring a dog you have such a great place to walk the dog and enjoy the lovely animals around the area.
Lynda
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

Wonderful hosts, wonderful lodge the cleanest we have ever stayed at. Hot tub was lovely and again so clean. Location is excellent plenty to do or just sit back and relax. Calke Abbey is very close and beautiful.
Caroline
A lovely, peaceful setting. Very easy place to stay in comfort. Lovely showers. Tasty eggs. Private hot tub area. Ample parking. Highly recommend.
Brenda
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.
Laura
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.
mandy
Fabulous cottage, cannot praise enough. absolutely immaculate, so well furnished & kitted out to a very high standard. Lots of extra treats for dog & us. Great dog walking field and a range of other great walks from the doorstep. Hosts again were fabulous, responsive, helpful and attentive. Everything needed Is half hour from cottage; shopping, big towns etc, otherwise just enjoy the rural location, clear skies and hot tub! Looking forward to visiting again, thank you so much.
