House vacation rentals in Castle Donington

We had an incredible family weekend with two young children. The house is absolutely beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made it feel like home. The kitchen was the heart of the house for us, fully equipped with everything we needed. The unique charm of the house was a delightful touch, and the kids had a blast exploring both indoors and out. Marcus, the host, went above and beyond—he even came out to find us when we had trouble locating the entrance. He gave us a comprehensive tour and made sure we knew how everything worked. The pool area was wonderfully private, and the hot tub was a lovely addition. The rooms were very comfortable, with stunning furniture and textiles. The grounds were breathtaking, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining in a peaceful and glorious environment. Shame we hadn't planned a longer stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Farmhouse - the postcode took us to the farm, but the cottages were close by and easy to find. The kitchen was very well stocked with crockery and there was plenty of space for 10. The kids loved the swimming pool and football field. Highly recommended.

Really lovely stay in the Manor House for a family gathering for a surprise 40th birthday, the house is beautiful has everything you would need, lovely cake and fizz on arrival. And house beautifully decorated for Christmas which just added to it :)

We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. The space is great and as an extra bonus, you get to use a heated pool and brilliant games room. We went early Jan and there was loads of snow, as well as pretty cold temperatures, but the house warmed up very quickly and we were always more than comfortable. The property is close enough to Bakewell for a short drive or taxi ride, should you want to venture into town. We're thinking about going back in the summer.

We used the accommodation for a team meeting and just blown away by it. It was our most productive yet fun and relaxed meeting yet, everything we hoped for and more. Thank you!

We had a great stay - the house is peaceful, quiet, clean, and especially cosy with the woodburner on! Richard and Jo were excellent hosts, very friendly and accommodating, and offered great advice on places to visit nearby with our two small children. We all slept amazingly well (very unusual with a 1 and 3 year old); the beds were comfy and it was so quiet. The house is well set up for visiting with toddlers - there are toys, books, stair gates etc. and the large garden is great to let them run around in. We would absolutely return, especially in the summer to really make use of the beautiful garden.

What a wonderful stay at Manor Farm. The house was beautiful, well maintained, extremely spacious and very comfortable. The surrounding countryside was stunning, with great food being served in nearby pubs and plenty of places to visit. Great space for youngsters too, with the wildlife - baby rabbits, sheep and birds and of course the swimming pool and games room, all of which they loved. Thanks to the hosts for their welcome and hospitable atmosphere.

Great value for money. Can't stress enough how friendly and reliable the staff were. We had a lovely week stay, the house was clean, the beds were comfy and the scenery was perfect. We were informed of the booking system for the swimming pool and games room, so you could have the room to yourself which was great. The pool was clean, the games room was kept tidy and the house surroundings were really lovely to walk around. You can tell the grounds were well maintained and kept in good shape as the workers never stopped, but were always so friendly. This property is perfect for bike riders, walkers and pub crawlers. You couldn't get bored.

We booked the house for a family weekend visiting in Derby. Great central location. Fantastic house with high ceilings and original period architecture, tastefully decorated. Loads of space to relax in and was a perfect stay. Highly recommended.

This was a business booking. Thanks for hosting us at last minute/same day. We much appreciated it. Best wishes Janet

Fabulous weekend at Alba Lodge, immaculate spacious property with all essentials available at the property. Helpful and responsive hosts both in the run up to and during our visit. Ample parking and beautiful garden with clean and well maintained hot tub. Helpful instructions to make our check in seamless and helpful guide available in the property. Would definitely recommend and we’re looking forward to visiting again in the future- Thanks Chris and Matthew

Thank you for the fabulous place for us to stay. great facilities, kitchen is well equipped, showers and toilets are clean and the beds are super comfy.

Robert's place is sport less and perfect for our contractors. Comfortable beds and spot less. Good location. Highly recommended and definitely visit again if we are around.

We had a lovely stay. Felt right at home straight away, and the beds were very comfortable! Diane was responsive whenever we contacted her, would absolutely stay again.

An amazing place with an exceptionally attentive and responsive host who went above and beyond to accommodate our early check-in. The space is beautifully decorated, spacious, and filled with thoughtful personal touches that make it feel like home. Everything was spotless, with a fresh, pleasant scent throughout, and the bedding and toiletries were of excellent quality. Truly a fantastic find—I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay!

Great location, responsive hosts and very comfy beds! A lovely place to reunite with old uni friends - we will back - thank you! 😊

The property met our requirements which was within walking distance to my daughter's. A very comfortable property with the space that we needed. Alison was a great host and would certainly stay here again.

Lucy was great - always responsive and helpful/clear with instructions. The place itself was fantastic, I was there with my wife, brother and some friends over New Year, and we were very comfortable. We had our dogs as well, who loved the garden! (Though note that the garden is not fully enclosed). We had a wonderful time - thanks Lucy!

Beautiful and very roomy and spacious house. Warm and comfortable. Well equipped.Particularly for the two dogs - utility room and nice secure garden and park very close. Great to have 4 x bathrooms/shower rooms. Great walking distance into town. Thouroughly enjoyed our stay.

Home from home. Ideal base for the Midlands. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful private garden. We highly recommend staying there.

lovely home will be staying again !

I had a wonderful stay. The home was cosy and stylish, creating a peaceful, zen vibe. The location was excellent, close to many amenities such as pubs, restaurants, and shops. I would highly recommend it.

Would like to start by thanking Penny for a warm welcome to her stunning home which included a freshly baked cake, homemade scones, jam and clotted cream plus croissants. The property itself is immaculate from top to bottom. Beautiful furniture, furnishings, beds, bed linen, towels, toiletries. You really only need to bring your food and drink and that’s it. If you forget anything Penny will sort for you. We were waiting for a taxi on the Saturday and Penny offered to drive us into town if it didn’t turn up. The grounds are stunning and there are woodland walks on the doorstep. We had the hot tub which was great fun and best of all there is a washer and tumble dryer so no wet towels and swimsuits to take home. Would definitely recommend and would love to return. Can only give a 5 star review but would give 10 star if possible. The pictures are great but seeing is believing.

Saunters Nook is a beautiful home and the surrounding area is very peaceful. The views are amazing and the log fire made the evenings a dream. The house is big but cosy and it had a few nooks inside and out that you can find and read a book! Peter and Louise’s communication was excellent and we really appreciated the treats they had left for us and it was a great welcome after our journey. For those who may not be driving by car, an hourly bus is available from Buxton train station, although one didn't return on the way out but an uber was readily available.
