In response to customer feedback we have now completed the surfacing of the roadways around the whole of Sandybrook Country Park.  So now….you can walk to privies lodges in the rain, and never wet your feet!  We’ve gone about as far as we can go….. Yes Sir! 

Over the relatively quiet winter period we are pressing on with refurbishing all the Hassop lodges at Darwin Forest.  The whole interior of each lodge is being upgraded with new furniture, bathrooms, kitchens, flooring etc.  The new contemporary styled interiors will be finished off with  flat screen televisions - FAB.  The new look will be unveiled in time for the February half-term holidays.  

Kate and Bryan, local birders from Derbyshire Ornothological Society, recently paid us a visit to check out their wood they sponsored in our top field to celebrate their 50th anniversary.   They soon observed a variety of birds including buzzard, kestrel, jay, goldcrest, siskin, bullfinch, fieldfare, brambling and chaffinch and finished off their morning with a coffee in Evolution.  It is always nice to welcome our friends from DOS.  

The Hideaway lodges at Darwin were totally refurbished in time for Christmas…and the guests who stayed in them certainly seemed to appreciate the contemporary styling, flat screen tvs, new kitchens and bathrooms.

These cosy lodges are now available for couples to rent for three night weekend breaks (or 4 nights mid-week) for just £189 per lodge, until 8th February. You can even bring your pet dog with you if you wish.
