  • Beautiful wood cabin nestled in the Derbyshire countryside, with private hot tub
  • Sat overlooking fields where nearby horses, sheep, goats, and chickens graze
  • One of four properties situated at the end of a quiet lane with miles of countryside walks and cycle paths to explore
Property code: 87408

Escape to the countryside in this quieter part of Derbyshire - the cottage is tucked away in a village, along a quiet lane surrounded by fields. You can spot the abundance of wildlife from the cabin or the lovely garden. There are miles of lesser-known walks and cycle routes that can be accessed from the doorstep. Uttoxeter Racecourse (24 miles) and Castle Donington (7 miles) are worth a visit, or you can enjoy a historic day out exploring the National Trust properties nearby such as Kedleston, Sudbury, and Calke Abbey. Alton Towers (30 miles) and Conkers (9 miles) provide a fun-filled family day out to remember. And Donnington Park Circuit (4 miles) offers popular motorsport events throughout the year.

Step into the hallway to remove coats and boots and wander through to the bright and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Without a doubt, here is where you will be spending most of your time, whether it is relaxing on the comfy sofa watching something on the Smart TV or rustling up a hearty breakfast for your loved ones. The kitchen area offers an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave, and is a fantastic place to cook if the local eateries don’t tempt you. Open the patio doors and let the fresh air in as you enjoy the garden space accessed through these doors. The property offers a double and a twin bedroom, each with Smart TV, walk-in wardrobes, and an en-suite shower and WC.

Outside there is a garden with a hot tub, dining table and chairs, and a lawned area, perfect for chilling out on a summer's evening with good company. There is off-road parking for three cars.

Absolutely fabulous stay at The Hedgehog Lodge. Stayed with some friends from work. The place is stunning throughout! I'd say it's home from home but this lodge is way nicer than my home. Love the animals and views. Owners are amazing and go above and beyond for their guests. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

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.

I would definitely recommend Badger Brook. We stayed in Hedgehog lodge. Very clean and tidy and a well equipped kitchen. Loved our welcome pack and delicious eggs!! The hot tub was great my first time in one !!! Jimmy made sure it was kept clean and checked it every day. Very comfortable beds. we loved watching the chickens, they are such characterRead mores. Jimmy also recommended places to visit as it was our first time in the area. Sheila Dale & Tia Hide

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.

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

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.
