Emma
Thorntree Lodge was well equipped with everything we needed for a three night stay. Ample room with three spacious bedrooms and a large kitchen/dining/lounge area. Warm and cosy for our frosty winter escape with the dog. The lodge is adjacent to the farmhouse, situated in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. It was the perfect getaway.

Quietly situated but close places like Chatsworth and popular Peak District destinations. Although weather when we went didn't allow it, there was an area for sitting outside and eating. Enjoyed some short walks from the property. Hope to return.
