Knights Lodges of Bretby

The lodges are set in the beautiful countryside of Derbyshire. We had a lovely relaxing break. Loved the hot tub and the special touches. Beautiful place to stay. Lots to do in the area . Canal walks. Visited The National Memorial Arboretum which is a must.

We had a lovely 4 night stay here, the lodges are a great relaxing break. The hot tub in the Mulberry was very private. The bath was lovely, the bed was comfortable and the robes and welcome pack were a lovely touch. In the welcome pack you get fruit cake, bread, prosecco, milk, tea, coffee, sugar and some sachets of butter and jam. There is dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and some small toiletries. However only 1 toilet roll for 5 days between 2 people! So make sure you take some more as I’m not sure what couple only uses 1 toilet roll in a week? The location is rural but it is isn’t brilliantly thought out – being in the middle of a farm leads to not being able to go in your hot tub some nights as it smells so bad outside of cow manure being sprayed onto the fields. Or even open a window! We were lucky enough to have a couple of days of brilliant weather where temperatures got up to 27 degrees, however there were no fans in the lodge and every time you opened your window you were greeted by 10 daddy long legs and huge spiders all over the lodge so that wasn’t an option! The owner was lovely, when she messaged the following day to ask if we needed anything. We asked for a lodge and on return from our day out at Alton towers there was one at our door! Wifi worked brilliantly and the lodge was very clean. Unfortunately we never got the sauna to work, apparently there was a switch you turned on on the outside – we did this and left it for a while and the sauna never came on. There were no instructions on how to use this which I thought should be in the welcome booklet. A couple more towels were needed – you were given 1 large towel and a hand towel each for 5 days which when showering, bathing and going in the hot tub wasn’t enough really – so take an extra one with you. My partner and I have stayed in many lodges so maybe we're just fussy and have a high standard - despite the gripes it was a lovely stay.

We had a fantastic week at Knights Lodges. The lodge was great, the staff were really friendly and the location was beautiful and very peaceful. The lodge had everything you could need and the welcome pack was a really lovely touch. Would recommend to anyone both for a family or romantic getaway

Had a great relaxing weekend, will highly recommend.

Had 4 nights in the golden oak lodge It was superb first class Would recommend this lodge to everyone Hopefully we will be coming back soon Five star
