A ‘stable’ environment.

Only a brief overnight stay, but the property was well presented, very clean and had everything I needed for a pleasant night. Loved the little nods to its previous life.

Friendly, clean and quiet.

Very friendly staff, very clean with everything you need. I would definitely stop again it's a great little place to get a good night's sleep. Quiet and comfortable. Only downside is no mobile signal but that is typical for the area.

A great set up, in a separate building. It was good to be able to come and go as I needed. A comfortable bed and good facilities. I wondered if I'd hear the road all the time, but I didn't hear it at all, and it wasn't very busy anyway. So that was great too. Really lovely and interesting walks straight from the house it'self and further afield as well. The Lime kilns etc were very interesting and the various reservoirs nearby were beautiful. The Autumn colours in the woodland and Calke Abbey Deer Park were stunning. The Staff of Life pub food was good, and reasonably priced, as was the Smisby Arms and the staff in both pubs were super helpful and kind too.

Disappointing Stay

The Stables were convenient to our planned activities in the area. We found it difficult to get into the location as it was difficult to use the gate or to find assistance. We needed to back car in from the busy road to a courtyard area with tight walls and other vehicles. Room was large with two bed areas, kitchenette and bathroom. Mattress was not comfortable. Power went out of the unit in the morning so unable to use the kitchenette for breakfast. Unable to reach anyone about the power.

Disappointing Stay

The Stables were convenient to our planned activities in the area. We found it difficult to get into the location - we did not travel with a phone that had service in England and had no way to contact the owners when we arrived. We were never able to open the gate on our own to get in - had to yell over the gate to try and draw attention to our arrival. Needing to back car in from the busy road to a courtyard area with tight walls and other vehicles was nerve racking. Room was large with two bed areas, kitchenette and bathroom. Mattress was not comfortable. Power went out of the unit in the morning so unable to use the kitchenette for breakfast. Went to owners home, across the small courtyard, but unable to reach anyone about the power. Most disappointing location of our entire stay in England.

Having viewed the property and seeing a 9.2 review rating. I was expecting a lovely cosy cottage with a bit of wow factor. Unfortunately, it was far from the case. As lovely as the hosts were, the accommodation did not come up to scratch and certainly didn’t match their review score. Plaster coming off the wall, dated and tired décor, electrics which trip out and have obviously not been certified in a while. A disappointing stay I am sad to say.

No cooked breakfast!

Had expected a cooked breakfast based on previous reviews but shop was closed where they used to do the breakfast. Useful having a fridge and microwave. Extractor very noisy in bathroom. Very cold when I first arrived. Not as good as another B&B in the area that I use regularly. Lots of traffic all through the night despite being on a small country road.

Practically perfect in every way 😁😍

We arrived late after a long journey, but were welcomed in person and made to feel at home right away. Having both double and single rooms was perfect for us, and the kitchen, with decent ground coffee and cereals for the morning, was a lovely bonus. We had a late breakfast at the cafe next door, with generous portions of quality ingredients and great service. I am SO glad we chose this place. It was only half an hour from our destination in Derby, and an infinitely more pleasant stay than can be had in any of the chain hotels in town. Excellent value for money. We will definitely be back!

The room was spacious and clean, the shower room was a little dated and would benefit from an upgrade, but saying that it was perfectly acceptable. The breakfast was excellent, the host was friendly and catered for all our needs. Would stay again
