Good afternoon
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry about the road noise. Lodge cottages are traditionally next to the road which does mean there will be more traffic than elsewhere on the estate.
Ticknall Lodge will become a dog free cottage from the end of January 2025 as we are unable to secure the garden.
Kind regards

Good morning
Thank you for your review. Lodges do tend to be on the side of the road so may be noisier than a cottage in the centre of an estate.
We're sorry to read of the ant infestation. Had we known about it, we would have been happy to send someone out to sort it for you.
We do mention, on the website, that the garden is partially enclosed.
Kind regards

The cottage was in a good location and the double glazing made a competent job of keeping traffic noise down, the cottage is a gate lodge next to the main entrance to Calke Abbey.

Good afternoon
Thank you for your feedback. Gate lodges are, by their nature, at the entrance to estates. We're pleased to read the double glazing meant this didn't cause any traffic noise.
