Park View Lodge

Park View Lodge is a welcoming single-storey lodge nestled on the edge of Melbourne, Derbyshire. Ideal for families or friends, this pet-friendly abode, features a bubbling hot tub, open-plan design, and elevated countryside views.

Pull up and park the car, breathe in the fresh countryside air and admire the charm of this inviting wooden lodge before stepping inside. With sheep grazing in the field opposite and tranquil views all around, this is a setting designed for relaxation.

Feel the warmth of the underfloor heating as you enter and take in the sparkling white worktops in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with oven and hob, slimline dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. Cook up a delicious meal and gather around the circular dining table for leisurely dinners and conversation.

Later, sink into the sofa or lounge on the armchair, gaze out through the patio doors at the countryside or flick on the Smart TV mounted on the wall for an evening of entertainment. Two bedrooms provide restful retreats, each with its own smart TV for those indulgent lie-ins: a king-size and twin berooms, both thoughtfully presented.

The sleek shower room features a rainfall shower, basin and WC, adding a touch of luxury to your morning routine. Start the day by brewing a fresh coffee and carrying it out to the patio to soak up the scenery before planning your next adventure or look out for pheasants, wood pigeons, rabbits and badgers as the day goes by.

Step outside to discover a neat patio complete with furniture and a bubbling hot tub. Take a dip and soothe your muscles beneath the wooden gazebo adorned with lights, creating a lovely ambience at night as you admire the peaceful views.

Local attractions are close at hand, with Melbourne Hall and the Staunton Harold Estate and Reservoir just a 5-minute walk away offering scenic walks, cafés and courtyard craft shops. The National Trusts Calke Abbey and Park is also within easy walking distance or a short car ride to the main gates at Ticknall.
