Calwich, located near Mayfield in Derbyshire, is home to a beautifully restored historic lodge situated on the scenic Calwich Abbey Estate. This charming property, just a short distance from the lively market town of Ashbourne, has been meticulously transformed from a former butler's lodge into an exquisite holiday retreat, accommodating up to eight guests across four well-appointed double bedrooms. The lodge is ideal for families or friends seeking to immerse themselves in the picturesque countryside of the Heart of England.
Upon entering the lodge, visitors are welcomed by a modern kitchen that features sleek worktops and high-quality appliances, including an electric AGA cooker.

The inviting sitting room is equipped with a large wall-mounted TV and comfortable sofas, perfect for relaxing together or unwinding after a day of exploration.
The lodge boasts four double bedrooms, two of which come with en-suite facilities. The master bedroom is particularly noteworthy, featuring a dressing room and an original 1970s bed with integrated speakers and lights, creating a unique space for relaxation. The renovation has preserved some of the original exposed stone walls, adding character to the room. Guests can choose between a family bathroom with a luxurious roll-top bath or a contemporary shower room to prepare for their adventures in style.
Set in a rural landscape, the lodge provides easy access to numerous walking and cycling trails, particularly within the nearby Peak District National Park. The charming market town of Ashbourne, just a few miles away, offers a variety of traditional eateries and independent shops for those looking to dine out or pick up essentials. For thrill-seekers, Alton Towers theme park is within driving distance, while the stunning nature reserve at Dovedale and the watersports haven of Carsington Water are also recommended excursions.
