our rooms


Our 8 individual bedrooms all have en-suites and all can be accessed privately without having to enter into our dining or bar areas and 3 bedrooms are located opposite our garden and car park on the ground floor with their own private entrances. The other 5 bedrooms are located in our 18th Century Grade II listed building.

The Staff of Life is ideally located whether you are looking for an overnight stay on business, a short break or a longer stay.

You will enjoy the advantage of a traditional Inn offering real cask ales, great wines and fresh home cooking. We back onto the open fields of the National Trust’s Calke Abbey and are perfectly located for parents and visitors to the famous Repton and Foremark schools.

We are also ideally located for East Midlands Airport and Donington Park and we are an easy commute to Ashby de la Zouch, Burton on Trent and Derby City and several local towns and of course, many other beautiful areas of South Derbyshire.
