Why we love it
What makes Edgmond Lodges stand out is its balance: a stay that feels properly tucked away without ever being remote, polished without feeling overdone. The mood here is one of easy retreat — unhurried mornings, evenings spent outside in the hot tub, and that particular sense of calm that comes from being just beyond the edge of everyday life, in a part of Derbyshire that is gentler and less showy than the national-park postcard version.

About the Property
Edgmond Lodges offers a softer, more intimate kind of countryside break: log lodges with a warm, cocooning feel, set in the village of Scropton in South Derbyshire. Interiors lean into timber and texture, giving the spaces a cosy, settled atmosphere rather than anything too sleek or stylised. The private hot tubs are central to the rhythm of a stay here, turning an ordinary afternoon into something slower and more restorative. Guests regularly mention the quiet, the sense of privacy and the thoughtful welcome, which all adds up to a place that suits romantic weekends, celebratory escapes and short resets from city life. It’s a stay designed less around spectacle, more around comfort and calm.
Location
Scropton, South Derbyshire
Scropton sits in a quieter corner of Derbyshire, where the landscape is more rolling farmland and village lanes than dramatic peaks. It’s a useful base if you want a mix of country calm and days out: close to Tutbury and Burton upon Trent, with the southern reaches of the Peak District still within easy reach. There are market-town pleasures nearby, good pub country, and plenty of scope for unplanned drives through fields, hedgerows and old stone villages. This is Derbyshire for those who prefer gentle pace over grandstanding scenery.
