Holiday rentals with lake access in Derbyshire

We had a lovely family break at Caroline’s Lodge. The setting is beautiful and we really enjoyed the access to, otherwise, private land for lovely walks and visiting Staunton Harold courtyard. The lodge itself had everything we needed. It is very comfortable and the kitchen is extremely well equipped with plenty of crockery and utensils for 6 people. Many thanks for the welcome cake and bottle of wine in the fridge they were a lovely touch which we appreciated. We have had family breaks like this over the last three years and Caroline’s place is the best so far. We would love to return.

What an absolutely beautiful house, I could have stayed forever! The house is in such a peaceful area, there was plenty of parking space and it had great public transport connections. The beds are so comfortable it is unreal. I can't recommend this lovely house enough, if it is available when we visit again next year I will surely be booking to stay here.

It’s my second time staying at Foxt Cottages in Froghall , this time with my mom and dad, and we absolutely loved everything about it. The cottage was charming, clean, and cozy – a real home away from home. The peaceful surroundings and beautiful countryside made it the perfect place to unwind and spend quality family time. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a lovely setting. I also recommend the willow cruise if you have time as high tea was just dreamy on the canal boat !

We had a great stay at Kingfisher Cottage whilst visiting family. Matt was very responsive and helpful and provided several local recommendations. The location of the cottage next to the river is perfect for a peaceful drink in the evening and our 4 year old enjoyed paddling and watching the cows. Thank you Monika and Matt for a wonderful stay - we'll be back!

Overall great weekend with family - us, 4 children, wives, partner and 5 grandchildren. Games room was a great success with teenagers and men, probably a bit noisy for the neighbours 😂. Well equipped kitchen but didn’t find instructions for hob and oven until tidying up Sunday night. We’d worked it out between us in the meantime. Could do with a few tips in house manual. Lake and canoe a big hit. Hot tub took over 4 hours to get up to temperature - why wood burning when there is electricity? Beds comfy and all rooms very spacious. Lounge/sunroom fabulous space. We would return if Neil would have us.

Where do I start with this review? Chris is one of the most genuine, caring and wonderful people you will ever meet! He saved us from a horrific amount of stress whilst holidaying in Mexico! For some background we had to move out of our home just before going due to an internal soil pipe leak and had been living between parents and hotels just before our family holiday of a lifetime. Whilst we were away the insurers and loss adjustors agreed signed off for a long stay or let meaning we then had to try and find somewhere whilst we were on the other side of the world! I dropped Chris a message and just WOW… What a guy, if it wasn’t for him we’d have likely ruined what remained of our holiday. His place is stunning, so homely and in a beautiful location - everything you need on your doorstep with the most incredible host! It is not a shock Chris carries a 5 Star rating and it is well and truly deserved, do not hesitate and book or reach out! You won’t be disappointed, thanks Chris! 🫶

I stayed at Jasmine Villa during my poker trip to Dusk Till Dawn Casino, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The villa was exactly as shown in the photos—clean, stylish, and very comfortable. It offered the perfect mix of peace and convenience, which was ideal after long hours at the poker tables. The location was excellent—just a short drive to the casino and other local spots. Everything I needed was available, from kitchen essentials to fast, reliable Wi-Fi. A special mention goes to Mark, the host. He was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay, making sure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. It’s clear he really cares about providing a great experience for his guests. If you’re heading to Nottingham—whether for poker, business, or just a getaway—I highly recommend Jasmine Villa. I’d absolutely stay here again!

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, very clean and tidy. My children loved the pool and games room. Easy to get to all the main attractions will be coming back soon. Thank you for a great stay!

Absolutely stunning cottage! Made our wedding even more magical having such a perfect place to stay.

We stayed a couple of nights in this lovely cottage whilst visiting family nearby. Comfortable and very nicely decorated and furnished. The location is excellent with walks around the reservoirs and up onto the moors from the door, plus 10 minutes walk to the shops, pubs and cafes in Station Road

Aspen lodge is a great little place to stay in the Mercia Marina development. The lodge is well appointed inside, clean, great for families with three bedrooms. It was fun seeing the geese and ducks out the back and saying hi to them in the morning. Our only issue with the place is we stayed during a heatwave and the lodge got extremely warm. It was tempered by opening all the doors and windows which was nice when there was a breeze and made the place feel fresher.

Had a fantastic weekend here and would thoroughly recommend. the cottage was beautifully appointed and the log fire made it super welcoming and relaxing. Emma has thought of everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

My friend and I had 3 lovely days at Chew Cottage. It’s in a beautiful area, with local pubs and fabulous walking. The house is quirky and as described. Lovely little garden and house was very cosy. Jeanne was pro-active in responding to a problem with the Tv signal, arranging for the aerial to be repaired the next morning. As an Airbnb host myself, I appreciated the facilities and good communication. Lots of free on street parking nearby I .e. Just across the road.

7 of us stayed at Karen's for a bank holiday getaway. it was so peaceful and the house was cosy even when it was raining outside. before we got there she had sent a lot of fun things we could do in the area and places to check out. we tried quite a few of the things she recommended and would definitely recommend others to give her recommendations a go. The house was in a beautiful remote area and was big enough for 7 adults to be able to have their own space.

Wonderful space to stay, very spacious and clean. Excellent hosts. Will definitely stay again.

The cottage was so clean & looks recently decorated. The large lounge with comfortable sofas was so inviting. It was to warm to use but the log burner on a cold winters day would be so good. All the rooms were spotlessly clean. The beds were so comfortable. It’s the small things that make a difference, a pint of milk in the fridge, tea bags & a packet of biscuits on the side were most welcome after a long drive. Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.
