Chesterfield holiday lodge location ranked as the best in the UK by national holiday provider
A picturesque holiday lodge park on the outskirts of Chesterfield has come out on top as the best in the UK, according to national accommodation provider Pitchup.
The company has released a list of the ‘top 10’ best reviewed log cabin locations across the country, with Ernest’s Retreat sitting at the top of the list.
The site, which sits on a working farm in the picturesque North Derbyshire countryside received the most positive reviews on the Pitchup website. The company released the list to showcase the best romantic retreats for couples ahead of this Valentine’s Day.
Located just shy of the Peak District, the accommodation allows fans of Pride and Prejudice to easily reach the famous Chatsworth House, as well as a host of other literary landmarks.
It is believed that Jane Austen based Mr Darcy’s country estate, Pemberley, on Chatsworth House. This famous landmark was also featured in the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, along with Haddon Hall, another stately home within 25 minutes of Ernest Estate.
On the website’s reviews section, Stephen B described Ernest’s Retreat as: “Beautiful, secure & very well maintained” giving special mention to the very warm welcome received by the hosts, the “spotless” washing up area and the “very comfortable” mattress, not to mention the ice cream honesty box!”
Dan Yates, Managing Director of Pitchup.com said: “Lodges and log cabins are a great luxury alternative for those seeking a holiday but who don’t want to spend excessively given the current climate. We’ve seen more people turning to this type of break instead of forking out for premium hotel or holiday let stays and the reviews show just how much they’ve enjoyed the experience.
“It’s such a huge achievement for this site to be so highly rated in this category. As with any type of glamping, lodge and log cabin customers have extremely high standards, often comparing their breaks with boutique hotels.
“Ernest’s Retreat not only offers beautiful views and impeccable cleanliness but also provides the perfect base for literary fans to enjoy the landscape that inspired Austen’s classic romance novel.”
