'THE WHICH? GUIDE TO GOOD HOTELS' "Unpretentious rural retreat with delightful gardens" |
'Alastair Sawdays Special Places to Stay' Extract:
"The gardens are vibrant and fascinating; the Fords, attentive and kind, encourage you to explore. Hens and guinea fowl animate the charming old stable yard. Inside... a warm, timeless, harmonious feel..." Breakfast is served round a big table in the old school room - homemade preserves, eggs and garden fruit.

"THE WHICH? GOOD HOTEL GUIDE"Extract:
"This dignified stone-built property occupies a steeply rising site towards the bottom of a hilly lane on the very edge of the National Park. There are terraces and water features and a splendid kitchen enhanced by witty statuary and local Derbyshire stone. Inside, it is unshowy but tasteful, cared for and home-like. A comfortable sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a separate breakfast room which catches the morning sun, and three spacious handsomely furnished bedrooms. Breakfasts are exceptional, comprising free-range eggs, home-made jams and compotes made from fruit from the gardens."
