Lumb Farm Country Club  

In the heart of the Derbyshire countryside in the village of Marehay, just outside Ilkeston and close to the market town of Ripley. About 5 miles from the M1 (J28) and a short drive to Derby, it’s a handy base for countryside walks, vintage steam railway trips, spa towns and family-friendly attractions.

This family-run country club was recently refurbished with contemporary décor and luxe finishing touches. Four ground-floor en-suite rooms feature king-size beds, Egyptian cotton linen, flat-screen TVs and heated towel rails. Rooms open onto gardens and countryside, with private parking right outside and the option of an extra bed for family stays.

Relax in the bar and conversation seating area, dine on-site, enjoy free Wi‑Fi and complimentary parking. There’s a children’s playroom, private check-in/check-out and acres of unspoilt countryside—perfect for waking up to garden and country views.

A conference hall is available for meetings and events, and free Wi‑Fi is provided across the property for working guests.

On-site restaurant serving homemade, traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Expect hearty daily specials, mouth-watering Sunday roasts and a full English breakfast alongside continental options. Pop into the bar for a pre-dinner drink before your meal.
