Calke abbey has wonderful grounds to walk around especially if you bring a dog (though they are not allowed in the formal gardens in the summer months).
The house itself is quirky and an interesting property. It does have a considerable amount of taxidermy though.

Private Chef
Divine Indulge Private Chef hire is a wonderful way to have a restaurant meal without having to go out! Ashley and I have previously used this service for a dinner of 6 and it was wonderful! The chef brings most things prepared just has to finish off a few bits in the kitchen.
