  • "Spindle is just one of the amazing lodges in this location."

    The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and well kept. And the lodge itself (we've stayed in Oak at the same location too) has everything you need and more. Evenings in the hot tub are the icing on the cake. The owner and his team are on hand but not intrusive and if you're lucky, you'll even get a visit from their dog who is simply divine.

  • "Loved our break here!"

    One of the cleanest lodges we've stayed in and loved the view, the welcome pack, and the comfortable furnishings. The fairy lights and landscaping were lovely to look at too! A great base for exploring Calke Abbey too.
