Our family of four appreciated the space! We enjoyed the game shelf, the goodies left for us, the comfy beds, the nearby park and the lovely pub. This is a great spot for families.
A great weekend staying in this lovely home. Some great touches such as the children's books and games, they were very useful to help keep the little ones entertained! Lovely area and great local walks and amenities, pub and shop 5 mins away. Hopefully we will return!
A beautiful property. So peaceful and Alex was such an incredible host - the home had absolutely everything you could possibly need with every little thing thought through. Don’t hesitate to book!
Fantastic house and easy walking distance to The Coopers Arms which we visited everyday! Walking along the canal was lovely, our trip to Leicester was east from here and we were also able to head off to Donnington Race Track to watch some motor racing on Sunday.
Brilliant fun - we will definitely be back
I have always wanted a conservatory, and this one was lovely. We had a very enjoyable stay in spite of a flat tire on our rental car. It gave us more time to explore the neighborhood including the horses and sheep and the canal.
We had a lovely short stay in January. Nice house, very clean. Milk/tea bags and a few treats were much appreciated. Good location. No problem at all with noise as per another review - could hardly hear trains/planes, which were infrequent. Made good use of wood burner (thank you). TV was a little frustrating - no live TV (though could use iPlayer, ITVX etc.). Bunk bed spring mattress also uncomfortable. But everything else was lovely and hosts communicated well. Highly recommend.
A nice base for our family for a few nights over half term, visiting Alton towers, Calke Abbey and the National memorial arboretum. Lots of games and books to keep the children entertained and plenty of room for everyone. Even a guitar for my daughter to practice on. There house looked newly decorated with lovely bathrooms and a nice big kitchen to cook in. The only slight downside was the noise from planes and trains at night so I’d say bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise spot on.
The property was excellent and just what we needed for a long family weekend and meet up. There was everything we needed and access from M1 was quick. We had lovely walks along the canal and back through the village. Thanks will definitely stay again if we are in the area.
