There are bug hotels and then there's the Calke Abbey bug hotel... Photo: Susan Guy

The impressive stone country house that is Calke Abbey. It has three floors, lots of tall windows and a central pillared entrance. A flag pole is central on the roof but no flag flies despite it being a sunny day with blue sky. Infront, on the grass, is a mini version. It's a bug hotel made to look just like it! Illustrations of insects painted on wood lay infront of this.

Yes, as others have mentioned, Erddig is the bees knees of bug hotels.
