The house
The hotel occupies a stone manor house that has been here for more than a hundred years, surrounded by its own parkland. It is run on a small scale, and regular guests tend to be recognised when they return.
The rooms have tall windows and warm textiles, with somewhere to sit and read. Some look onto the courtyard and one kind looks across the grounds. The Stable Suite is in the converted stable block and has its own sitting area.
The grounds can be walked whenever you like. Someone is on the front desk through the night, and the grounds are lit for late arrivals.
The market town is only a few minutes away and the road links are good, with open countryside all around. The Peak District is nearby.
There is also a casino room. It is small and quiet, and it is not the reason to book.
Four ways to stay
-
Classic Room
Faces the courtyard. A bed, a writing desk and an armchair, and nothing that gets in the way. Suits a short stay or one person travelling alone.
-
Parkland Suite
Upstairs, with a sitting area and a view across the grounds. The quieter choice.
-
Stable Suite
In the converted stable block. A separate sitting area and more space, for a longer stay or two people travelling together.
-
Family Room
Larger, with extra bedding on request and an easy walk to the garden and the pool.
A small casino room, for adults
The room is for guests aged 18 and over. ID is looked at at the entrance and nobody under 18 is let in. The house sets fixed limits. Anyone who wants to be excluded can ask at the front desk, whatever the hour.
Gambling here is paid entertainment. It is not a way to make money.
