“Whitton Lodge is an impressive property on the edge of Peak District & easy reach of M1”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Whitton Lodge is a privately owned B&B property located on the B6039 in the village of Hardstoft just south of Chesterfield. Its location is also a very short drive from junctions 28 & 29 of the M1 yet only about 8 miles from Matlock and the edge of the Peak District.

Please note that if you put Whitton Lodge’s postcode into your Sat Nav you may well be taken down Deep Lane (a turning off the B6039) and away from the Lodge. I would suggest that once you are on the B6039; use The Famous Shoulder Inn as a landmark. The entrance driveway to Whitton Lodge is about 50 meters from the Inn.

Also note that as you proceed up the driveway, the first property you reach is a bungalow which is the proprietors’ private residence. You will need to turn left at that point and continue driving for a further 30 meters or so when you will see a good sized car park and entrance to Whitton Lodge.

The hands-on proprietors, Kim and John, have done an excellent job of offering modern, spacious accommodation, including a fully functional gym, a full-size snooker table and sauna room on the ground floor of the Lodge.

The Lodge has ten bedrooms; each one tastefully decorated with modern furniture and fittings. My partner and I stayed in the Luxury Suite Double Room, which had a double bed, a corner sofa that converted to a double bed and a folding single bed! Even with so much furniture the room was very spacious and included a Freeeview LCD TV on one of the walls and complimentary tea & coffee making facilities. The en-suite bathroom had a generous sized bath with a shower unit above the bath. Toiletries and bath robes were also provided.

Each evening we were given an order form for the following day’s breakfast. This ensured that the hot breakfast that was ordered by each resident was freshly cooked and brought to the table once the resident(s) were seated at a table in the dining room and the first course (e.g. cereal, fruit, yoghurt, toast...) had been eaten. The hot breakfast choices were impressive and included any combination of bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms, fried bread and black pudding.

We stayed for two nights and used Whitton Lodge as a base for exploring a few towns in the Peak District, such as Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton. Unfortunately time constraints prevented us from staying for a longer period, but we made the best of the time we had and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Whitton Lodge and exploring the nearby area.

I would highly recommend Whitton Lodge; not least because it proved to be very good value for money.

Room Tip: The Luxury Suite Double Room offers very spacious accommodation and can easily be used as a family r...

“A little gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

What a fantastic place!!

A lovely, upmarket, but homely B&B. 
We had a very short stay here, sadly, but it was delightful. Kim was very welcoming, despite us arriving a little later than we'd anticipated and delaying her departure to her son's wedding reception! 

The room was beautiful and very clean and comfortable. There was ample hot water for a lovely soak in the bath. The only thing I would have changed was a bigger bed for the room, but it's a minor point. 

Unfortunately, as I had a very early start the following day I didn't sample the cooked breakfast, although it was available had I wished, even though it was outside the normal breakfast time, but there was a good selection of cereals and breads. My husband however, did sample the full English and thoroughly enjoyed it. 

This B&B has it all and more, with a sauna and snooker table as well as the most stunning sculpture!

All in all, you won't go wrong booking in here, but beware of the nearby pub if you want 'pub grub' as it's more of a gastro-pub, but very nice if you want a treat.

“Amazing b &b”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

This b & b is spotlessly clean and so friendly. There was everything you needed including a pub/restaurant within a short walk. We were told to treat the place as our own home and it was delightful to have all the facilities available: snooker table, library area, lounge etc. What a find, and such generous hosts - we will return!!

“Excellent!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

I have stayed here several times on business and thought I must simply get round to writing a review on this superb b&b.
The location is wonderfully relaxing in itself with plenty of parking, until you check-in and get in your room the only way to describe the rooms is "simply luxurious", all the rooms are superb but I personally thought that rooms 1 and 2 oh and not forgetting the new room 8 were better than some of the hilton rooms that I have stayed in.
The wifi, snooker table and honesty bar come in useful as well.
John the landlord is a great character always willing to answer any questions or queries that you may have as well as having the craic at the same time, every b&b should have one!
Kim his wonderful wife and her merry helpers help keep the lodge immaculate and as for the breakfast, "oh my word definately memorable!"
As for the evening meals tried the shoulder Inn next door and found it pricey with no atmosphere, until I discovered that if you make a left turn out of the lodge and carry on for about a mile on the first roundabout you come to, you'll discover The White Hart Pub what can I say the great local warm atmosphere that all travellers crave, Diane the wonderfully friendly landlady and chef with delectable specials on every night and those 2-1 steak and carvery nights and not forgetting the local characters propping up the bar every night in front of a blazing log fire whilst telling you about the days events that can only be told whilst having that northern craic, I'll take my hat off to Jolly old ROGER and to Big JOHN, you might even get to join in on a practise game of Skittles.
I could have quite easily stayed in one of those tv advertised concrete soulless and characterless rooms/hotels at £19/£29 pppn but no way I'm now always on the look out for places like Whitton Lodge when I'm travelling around the country on business to stay in and am already looking forward to my next round of meetings in Nottingham and Chesterfield as there's only one guarantee and that's a great nights sleep followed by a great locally sourced fresh breakfast.
