Hazel is a cozy ground-floor micro-lodge in Oakthorpe near Donisthorpe, right on the Leicestershire/Derbyshire border. This adult-only single-storey retreat sits on a peaceful site of lodges with stunning lake views that'll make you forget about your work emails faster than you can say "out of office. " Perfect for couples wanting to escape without traveling to the ends of the earth.

Set in a quiet spot with uninterrupted views across water, this is proper switch-off territory. The surrounding area offers plenty of walking and cycling routes to burn off last night's pub grub. Speaking of which, there's a pub just 1. 3 miles away with "fab lunchtime food" according to previous guests.
