Caladdi Bed & Breakfast
So often places are described as a ‘destination’, but Caladdi Bed & Breakfast is fast becoming just that. What started as a dream for a little family some seven years ago, who left the city for the country life, has certainly grown into a Midlands success story. One thing you will remember for a long time to come is their outstanding, freshly prepared breakfast. Nova lives by the motto that “no-one starves on her watch” – and you will realise quickly, that she means it.
Not only has Caladdi become an award-winning accommodation establishment, but they now have an on-site hair salon, owned and run by the very talented Trevor of Trevor Ketterer Hair Design, as well as a lovely nail bar, owned and run by Nichola Parker of Ohana Nails. Each of these owners go out of their way to make every guest feel welcome in their relaxed and unpretentious surroundings.
And if this is not enough, come and experience the fresh new kid on the block, N-Squared Bakery, which opened its doors on Sunday, 1 November 2020. A collaboration between two powerhouse women, Nadine Smith joined Nova (hence the name N-Squared) in taking a leap of faith in this new business venture. The Midlands will never be the same again with the smells of freshly baked artisan bread, pastries, cakes and more, all paired with barista coffee, right on their doorstep.
Conveniently situated on the R103 between Howick and Nottingham Road, this destination is suitable for all types of vehicles, motorbikes, and cycling enthusiasts. This is truly a place where good folk meet and return for years to come. So whether you’re attending a nearby wedding or simply just want to get away from it all, pack a bag and come experience true home from home hospitality at its finest.
