Vacation rentals with lake access in South Derbyshire District

Wow! Absolutely stunning, welcoming & immaculate home from home. Afra was an attentive host, who responded quickly, kept in contact with me, sent all the relevant information we needed & made sure we knew to contact her if we needed further assistance. Afra was kind enough to also leave us some biscuits & chocolate with an 'all you need to know' folder, which was so very thoughtful. Myself & 3 other very tired Momma's were in desperate need of a mini vacay that was not too far from home, close to the city & also Clifford Day Spa. Both were only a 12 minute Uber away, so this was absolutely perfect for our needs. The house has 3 levels with 4 beautiful double bedrooms, each with their own ensuite... & all spotlessly clean! The kitchen diner is stunning & the lounge is super comfortable. This property was everything we could have hoped for & more! We left feeling refreshed & energised to go back to our daily reality. We highly recommend Afra as a host & most definitely will return.

Lovely cottage in a perfect Nottinghamshire village.

Overall great weekend with family - us, 4 children, wives, partner and 5 grandchildren. Games room was a great success with teenagers and men, probably a bit noisy for the neighbours 😂. Well equipped kitchen but didn’t find instructions for hob and oven until tidying up Sunday night. We’d worked it out between us in the meantime. Could do with a few tips in house manual. Lake and canoe a big hit. Hot tub took over 4 hours to get up to temperature - why wood burning when there is electricity? Beds comfy and all rooms very spacious. Lounge/sunroom fabulous space. We would return if Neil would have us.

The house was perfect for my weekend stay. Modern, clean, comfortable bed and sofa. Nice outdoor seating with patio doors to the garden. There was a well equipped kitchen with a lovely selection of biscuits, tea, coffee, jams, hot chocolate, sweets. Shower gel in the shower, washing up liquid, handwash, toilet rolls, Smart TV and Siri. Nearby Chasewater is beautiful. It was perfect 😀

superb accommodation, returning customer, one of our favourite places to stay!

This property was super clean and tidy, had great amenities and Anne was a helpful host. This is a great location for the National Water Sports Center and still only a 30 minute walk to Nottingham City Center or £5 Uber. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed there for 3 nights, this place met all our expectations. As described on Airbnb. And the price is reasonable. Parking in front of the door, so convenient and the host is always reachable. Will stay here again if we visit Nottingham next time.

We had a wonderful stay at Knockerdown cottages. It was everything we hoped for and more. The children enjoyed the facilities (swimming pool and field for playing games) and we had some lovely walks in the surrounding area. Thank you very much! We look forward to revisiting soon!

We have just left our stay and can truly say it was the most beautiful place. We loved every minute, the view was incredible and such amazing hospitality….lovely and clean, messages to keep us up to date with how to check in. And some lovely little touches too. We will definitely be staying again! :) thank you so much!

Lovely apartment, Very good location

This is my second time staying at Funke's place within a year. It definitely makes me feel at home. I love that there is driveway parking, the neighborhood is very quiet. It was very cold in England when I visited in January so the heat was working properly and I was very cozy. As long as this property stays available I will be staying here every year when I visit the UK.

Fantastic cottage, great shared garden and beautiful walks by the river.

Would honestly love to stay here again very clean and luxurious apartment. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay local to the city centre.

Absolutely stunning cottage! Made our wedding even more magical having such a perfect place to stay.

Had a fantastic weekend here and would thoroughly recommend. the cottage was beautifully appointed and the log fire made it super welcoming and relaxing. Emma has thought of everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

What a beautiful building. This was perfect for our family of four. The nearby lake was brilliant for paddle boarding- which our teenage girls really enjoyed. We used the space as a base to go walking, cycling, rock climbing and also dining in Leek. It really is beautiful and we were all so happy with the location and the lovely space. Beautiful beams, a lovely kitchen and bathroom and we enjoyed the games. It could possibly benefit from another mirror if you have teenage girls as we did, but other than that, was a super space. Isobel’s instructions were excellent and her pack had some great info and recommendations. We loved the space. Thank you so much.

Fabulous Stay. Lovely quirky cottage, lots of original features but with all the mod cons! The patio and garden was a real bonus and has full sun all day. The location is perfect, we hired a car but the cottage is super close to the train station, and local bus services for exploring Warwickshire. There are canal walks at the end of the road (20 minute walk to the Greyhound Inn at Sutton Stop) perfect for watching the canal boats and river cruisers. David is extremely responsive to messages and all instructions for location and access were spot on! Why book a hotel room when you can have your own space in this lovely cottage - Book with confidence!

We had a lovely time at Jane's place. It was very peaceful and everything was very comfortable. Jane and Phil were very friendly and went the extra mile to make everything run smoothly. Lovely to see a working farm and the great open spaces.

Helena and Paul were wonderful hosts - great for anyone really nicely priced and area was great lots of shops and takeaways nearby. We travelled to Telford which was approx 24mins away and done shopping and other bits and went restaurant. 100 percent recommend.

Wonderful space to stay, very spacious and clean. Excellent hosts. Will definitely stay again.

Honestly, found our new “holiday home” as we visit the area a lot to see family & friends. Simply stunning stay from start to finish
