Self Catering Pine Lodges

Set in 44 acres of stunning, tranquil woodland at the heart of the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District, our self-catering Pinelodges provide the ultimate in quality accommodation for your holiday or short break. They are a perfect base for exploring this delightful region. We have a range of different sized lodges to sleep from 2 to 8 people.

Evolution Health and Fitness has a large indoor swimming pool with dedicated swimming lanes as well as a general bathing area and is free to use for those staying in lodges. If you prefer a work-out on dry land then you'll want to head to the new gymnasium† to choose from the great selection of Pulse fitness and training equipment.

Looking to take it easy? As well as the Spa, Sauna and Steam Rooms†, there are facilities for Beauty Therapy† and massage treatments to help you to relax.

All lodges are rated 4 Star (self-catering) by the English Tourism Council. The well designed central living space incorporates kitchen and dining areas and your Pinelodge is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, including linen and towels. Beds are made up ready for your arrival. All kitchens have a conventional cooker, refrigerator and microwave oven. Each lodge has a veranda with garden furniture, allowing the option of dining alfresco. Satellite television channels and DVD players are provided in all Pinelodges.

While all our luxurious Pinelodges are furnished to the highest standards, the Skyline range (with 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms) offers contemporary styling, fully fitted bathrooms, integrated appliances and spacious living areas.
