Bluebell Lodge

About Bluebell Lodge

A stylish single-storey lodge, inviting two guests. Enjoying countryside and lake views, whilst adorning a contemporary interior, a private decked area with hot tub, and a convenient adult-only location near local amenities, Bluebell offers the ideal base for a romantic getaway, whilst exploring the delights across the heart of England.

Benefit from two parking spaces before stepping up into the lodge, reaching the spacious open-plan living area; here you can rustle up meals for two in the sleek kitchen, dine, and unwind, with far-reaching vistas in the backdrop.

After dinner, head outdoors to watch the stars appear, before climbing into the babbling hot tub for an indulgent soak. Refresh in the contemporary en-suite shower room, before retiring to the plush double bed, enveloped by homely furnishings, ample storage, and a TV.

Awaken to a breath-taking sunrise over the lake, before preparing to explore the surrounding area, heading into Oakthorpe to stock up on the essentials, whilst dine out options lie in both Donisthorpe and Measham, including The Halfway House and The Pavilion Bar and Restaurant.

For attractions, travel by car to reach Hick's Lodge, a fabulous place to hike and cycle within the National Forest, tour the remains of Ashby de la Zouch Castle, surrounded by 3,000 acres of parkland, or discover the National Trust property of Calke Abbey, a Grade I listed property with pretty gardens, stables, and parkland.

Also, in Ashby-de-la-Zouche you can tour the fascinating exhibits of Ashby-de-la-Zouche Museum, spend the afternoon at Charnwood Forest Alpacas or sample a wealth of shopping and eating opportunities close by including The Money Tree Gin Bar and Restaurant or Zamani's.

From your doorstep, you are also well-positioned to journey to Moira Furnace Museum and Country Park, a popular tourist spot where you can enjoy a boat trip aboard the historic Joseph Wilkes, immerse yourself in history at the Furnace Museum or take a relaxing stroll through the scenic country park. Escape with your loved one to Bluebell.

I will definitely book to stay here again and have already recommended others to stay here too.

Great property. The welcome hamper was beautifully presented with quality products. Nice quality touches with the slippers with the towels too. Very quiet and relaxing site, and the hot tub had a great view down to the lake. Just what we needed after 3 years!
