Croxton Lodge & Curlews Nest

Croxton Lodge and Curlews Nest occupy their own courtyard within 200 acres of private estate, surrounded by lakes and countryside in rural Leicestershire. The two properties work as one, giving you the scale to accommodate a large group—sixteen people spread across eight bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. This setup suits extended families, multi-generational celebrations, or groups of friends wanting shared space without cramped quarters.

The main lodge contains four double bedrooms on the ground floor, each with ensuite facilities and Freeview, plus a games room with snooker and television. Upstairs, a living and dining room with an open fire and smart TV faces the grounds, alongside a kitchen fitted with a range, dishwasher and coffee machine, and a bar area. The annexe holds another four bedrooms—two doubles and two twin rooms—with its own kitchen. Throughout, you have parking for eight cars, wi-fi, heating, bed linen and towels included, and a garden with barbecue. One well-behaved dog stays free. The property does not permit smoking.

Croxton Park House stands nearby, and the estate's lakes and walking routes give you plenty to explore without leaving the grounds, or you can venture into the wider Melton countryside. The setting works well for those seeking countryside seclusion with enough comfort and facilities to keep a larger party content for a week.
