Springhill Lodge is well-equipped and lovingly furnished and decorated by the owners to make you feel at home and ready to relax as soon as you arrive.
Within the village of Idridgehay is the quaint little Idridgehay train station - why not leave your car at The Lodge and travel by steam along the Ecclesbourne Valley railway aboard a majestic steam train for a day out in Wirksworth or Duffield, with optional onboard dining experiences. For those who enjoy a local walk, take a 1.5 mile walk from Springhill Lodge across the footpaths to the village of Kirk Ireton where you will find a friendly grade II listed public house next to the local store (however, beware not to pass it by since it is not your obvious looking watering hole). The historical village of Wirksworth is only 3 miles away and is home to a well-established art and architecture trail, arts festival every September and has a range of cafes and restaurants. Just a 15 minute drive away is Carsington Water and the popular town of Ashbourne. Also close by is the Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, which are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the river Derwent. Matlock offers a range of shops, pubs, and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House - not to be missed! Close by Belper, situated in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds today. Now you’ll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. There is a thriving local music and arts scene, and the town hosts an annual Arts festival every May as well as winter and summer food festivals and a monthly farmers’ market.

We chose Springhill Lodge due to its location near the Peak District National Park and wonderful views afforded from the accommodation. The Lodge exceeded our expectations and was an exceptionally comfortable, warm, clean and peaceful place to spend a perfect week sightseeing, walking, relaxing and cooking in the well-appointed kitchen area. It was lovely to meet the owner Rachel to thank her personally for sharing this wonderful space. We would highly recommend a stay at Springhill Lodge.

We had a decent break here, plenty of places to go to using it as a base. It is for two people and quite small, not enough storage in the kitchen area for food if you are self-catering but very many pots, pans, dishes, baking trays etc. We found if cooking a meal not enough cooking rings, only two but that is our preference due to food intolerances, better to eat at home than out at restaurants etc.
