Great communication day before arrival. Check in was easy. Nice little accommodation and all the food choices left for breakfast were amazing.

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.

A spacious room with a fridge in the kitchen. More than enough tea, coffee and milk. Comfy bed, I slept like a log. Nice friendly people letting the room. Safe and secure.

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.

I arrived late and left early for work commitments Martin is a really nice guy and the stables was recommended by a friend can’t realy say much else as I Was not their for long , very clean and tidy and slept well

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!

Very peaceful location and the apartment was very comfortable. Plus breakfast included in the excellent cafe next door

A nice little self-contained 2 bedroom apartment with a small kitchenette in a converted stable. A lovely breakfast at the friendly cafe next door is included.

Pleasant if a bit quirky accommodation. Excellent Breakfast. The owners are Good and there if you want them. Will definitely book again if I'm back in that area

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
