  • "Beautiful little lodges perfectly placed for fabulous views , tranquil setting , great for dogs too ."

    Very welcoming and well looked after , easy parking and 10 min drive to lots of places and ideal away break venue . Made a nice change . Also a hot tub and I imagine it would be fabulous in summer . Lovely outdoor area . Shower room hard to keep dry I think over time this will be an issue . Limited cooking items for us we like to make our own food , no casserole pot ,no tea pot . No recycling ? Very satisfied overall

  • "Beautiful relaxing retreat."

    It was everything we needed to enjoy our 10th wedding anniversary. Maple lodge was as advertised. Clean and well maintained. Although there had been rain recently we enjoyed walking with our dog around the lake. We went to the Cricketts Inn for lunch half way through our stay. A dog friendly pub run by some very nice people and the food was great. Even catered for vegans like myself. They kindly gave my dog some treats and a bowl of water. We spent a day at Calke Abbey between the odd shower. We walked for miles. The hot tub was a must to relax our aching bones after that. So happy to have found this gem. We will be back again in the not too distant future.

  • "Lovely cottage and location with charming views."

    Well equipped but crockery a bit limited, in particular no large bowls (salad bowls, mixing bowls). No info about recycling provided and apparently no recycling bins (we took our recycling home with us, which was no problem).

The property

Donisthorpe 1.4 miles.

Maple is a micro-lodge nestled on the Steam Mill Lodges estate in Oakthorpe, Leicestershire.

Equipped to an excellent standard with an open-plan living area and a front decked veranda with private hot tub, Maple is a superb choice for couples looking to escape from normality.

After a day of exploring the National Forest, look forward to kicking back on the settee and choosing something to watch from the Smart TV.

When your hunger picks up, cross over to the kitchen and make use of a range of appliances as you conjure up something good, before gathering at the dining table for a romantic dinner.

End the evening with a dip in the hot tub or cheers to a special getaway from the bistro table and chairs.

Find the en-suite shower room for a quick freshen up before retreating to the double bed to catch some shut-eye.

All this and more awaits at Maple.
