Bed and Breakfast. Set in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir and within view of the castle, less than 20 miles from Nottingham, The Paddock at Peacock Farm is a charming, family-run B&B / self-catering accommodation in a rural, picturesque location. Breakfast at The Paddock has changed slightly as Nicky says 'after almost 40 wonderful years cooking breakfast for our guests, I have decided it is time to slow down slightly so whilst I will no longer be doing the cooking I will ensure (if opted) your stay is complete with plenty of breakfast items. We offer either a DIY breakfast hamper, cooked or continental, or simply a room only stay'. Nicky and her sister Mandy also offer a variety of massages and holistic treatments in the ZenDen which comes with use of the hot tub - an alternative idea for hen nights or ladies breaks, birthday or anniversary treats! Nicky is more than happy to assist with any celebratory arrangements and can organise little extras such as afternoon tea / champagne and canopies / birthday cakes etc. Evening meals can be taken at one of the many local pubs or restaurants in the Vale, alternatively, guests are welcome to take advantage of the lovely conservatory and garden to enjoy their own food. Whatever your reason for coming you are sure of the warmest of welcomes, we hope you find everything you could want to enjoy your time to the full and feel completely at home every second of your stay.Show full description
