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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Martin and Debby are excellent hosts, providing friendly and helpful hospitality. I have had the best sleep while staying there, in a very comfortable bed. All that is practically needed for the traveller is available. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, located in the centre of the lovely village of Ticknall.. The delicious breakfasts which are freshly cooked each day from a varied menu by Colin, are enough to set you up for the day. There are lovely walks in the Ticknall area, such as in Calke Park and Staunton Harold Reservoir. Calke Abbey is well worth a visit - 'The House Which Time Forgot'. Local towns such as Melbourne, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Derby, are well worth a visit. The Peak District is reasonably close by. There is a regular bus service through Ticknall, if you want a break from driving. I would recommend the accommodation from a solo traveller to a family, as there is a single and a double room.

An overall pleasant stay - one of two self-contained annexes within the grounds of the proprietor’s house, fronted by a quaint cafe which also provides limited groceries for the village. Highlights - comfortable, clean double bed (there’s also a single bed tucked away in a side room), choice of cereals, fresh milk and ground coffee available in the small kitchen en route to the w/c, which features a nice shower. Although just set back from the main road (A514), it’s still a quiet location in a picturesque village. Friendly and accommodating proprietor. Choice of inclusive breakfast in the cafe (not run by the proprietor), a lovely place to sit with views across the main road through the village - this was the highlight for me and vindicated my decision not to stay at a chain hotel in the city centre. Minor points but the parking is a bit awkward if you wish to park within the grounds (via a boarded wooden gate directly off the main road), which is quite limited spatially - I left my car on the main road part on the kerb in the end. The property itself was comfortable but perhaps a little tired and basic inside, particularly the kitchen and toilet, but at the same retains a charm and certainly well suited for the explorer types (rather than those seeking a luxury, romantic w/e break). Kitchen might benefit from the addition of some fruit, cake etc. I’d probably return as it serves its purpose for me (plus has the draw of the inclusive breakfast in the cafe).

Very friendly owners, lovely courtyard property (well-signed from the road although we weren’t fully sure how to find the owners though a neighbour was very helpful in guiding us to the owner’s door). Very clean property & bed linen smelled super fresh. The single & double rooms layout suited us very well because we were travelling with a 7 year old. Agree the fan in the bathroom is noisy. Very short walk to nearby pubs. Good to have off-road parking right outside the stable door. Lots of cereal and milk for breakfast in the room, though we chose to have the included cooked breakfast in the tea rooms which was very nice. Would happily stay again and recommend to others.
