Welcome Home, Darling

Beech Lodge comfortably sleeps up to six—ideal for family escapes, quirky getaways with friends, or even a solo retreat if you need to treat yourself. Picture sinking into one of the two expansive bedrooms: one with a plush double bed and an en-suite that practically sings “me time,” and another that’s cozy enough for the whole family (plus, there’s a fold-up bed for that extra guest who might just be your mischievous sidekick).

Every detail here is crafted to make you feel special—from the fully equipped kitchen (think: your culinary dreams just got an upgrade) to the private veranda offering serene views of a grassed area and the sparkling marina.

Exploring the Marina: More Than Boats and Boardwalks

If you thought the lodge itself was the main event, get ready—the surrounding Mercia Marina is the vibrant heart of your holiday experience. It’s not just a place to park your boat (or your car); it’s a playground of adventure and discovery.

Strolling Through a Living Picture-Book

Step outside and the marina boardwalk greets you like an old friend who always knows the best coffee spot. Narrowboats with charming names float along picturesque pontoons, each with its own story—it’s like strolling through a living picture-book where every turn invites you to snap a candid or simply breathe in the fresh canal air.

Then, delight in exploring the cafés and boutiques! Whether you fancy a brew at the Boat Café or enjoy browsing quirky local shops, the marina is a perfect blend of laid-back charm and community spirit.

Unwind and Rejuvenate: Your Private Sanctuary of Calm

After a day of marina meandering and delightful detours, nothing compares to coming home to the sanctuary that is Beech Lodge. Here, luxury isn’t just about opulence—it’s about feeling completely at ease and truly at home.

Veranda Views That Whisper “Ahh…”

Imagine yourself on your private veranda, a steaming cup of your favorite brew in hand, watching the gentle ripples of the canal and the playful dance of local wildlife. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, this is your go-to spot for quiet contemplation or spirited conversation under a starlit sky.

Indoors, the lounge area is designed for ultimate relaxation, with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and décor that makes you want to curl up with a book or share a laugh. And yes, our lodge is pet-friendly! For more ideas on exploring the area with your furry friend, check out our Derbyshire with Your Dog guide.
