Cedar Lodge

Pleasley Vale

Derbyshire, East Midlands, Nottinghamshire, Peak District

Surrounded by the scenic countryside of Nottinghamshire and just a stone’s throw from the historic town of Mansfield Woodhouse, this remarkable holiday home is the perfect base for lovers of the outdoors. From gentle woodland walks to more demanding climbs, nearby Oxclose Wood offers surfaced trails that lead to panoramic viewpoints. The legendary Sherwood Forest is less than nine miles away and provides a wide variety of walks suitable for all ages and abilities. Visitors can explore the forest’s rich folklore, including the famous Major Oak, said to be the hideout of Robin Hood, and enjoy activities like Go Ape, or hire a bike or Segway to explore further.

Looking for more adventure? The Peak District lies to the west, ideal for those seeking scenic hikes and hilltop views. On the way, make a stop at the grand Hardwick Hall, a stunning Elizabethan estate just nine miles away. Continue on to the charming towns of Matlock and Matlock Bath, both packed with family-friendly attractions. A drive along Dale Road between the two brings you to the Heights of Abraham, where a cable car takes you up to a hilltop park with spectacular views. For a different kind of heritage experience, Crich Tramway Village (17 miles) offers nostalgic tram rides, woodland walks, and a sculpture trail through a recreated period village. Other popular day trips include Clumber Park (10 miles) and further adventures in Sherwood Forest.

This stunning home is full of modern flair and thoughtful design, with large windows throughout that flood the interior with natural light and offer expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Upon arrival, the gated driveway and contemporary architecture make an immediate impression. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is both stylish and sociable—equipped with everything you need for a self-catered stay. A sleek kitchen island with bar seating, a modern dining suite, and a cosy lounge area create a space where everyone can come together. Glazed doors open straight onto the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

For further relaxation and entertainment, the adjoining sitting room features a TV, pool table, and Nintendo Wii, making it a hit with guests of all ages. A cloakroom is also located on the ground floor for added convenience.

Upstairs, four beautifully presented bedrooms await. There are two elegant double rooms, each with its own en-suite shower room, plus two well-appointed twin rooms. A stylish family bathroom with a walk-in shower and freestanding bath ensures comfort for all guests.

Outside, the front of the property boasts a neatly maintained lawn and a private driveway with parking for up to four vehicles. To the side, a more secluded garden space invites you to relax and unwind. Step out from the kitchen onto a furnished patio, complete with dining table and sofa seating—perfect for al fresco meals or drinks in the evening sun. And for the ultimate in outdoor indulgence, soak in the wood-fired hot tub and take in the peaceful countryside views.
