Hearth Manor

The Derbyshire Dales landscape frames this grade II listed Georgian house, a substantial retreat set at the foot of Ham Hill Country Park. Hearth Manor works for groups of up to ten looking for space to spread out together—five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and rooms designed for entertaining rather than hiding away in corners. The architecture speaks for itself: high ceilings, French doors that open onto gardens, the kind of proportions that make a gathering feel like an occasion rather than a squeeze.

Inside, a dedicated snooker room offers one form of amusement; the heated swimming pool is another. The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking at scale, which matters when you're feeding a crowd. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels come as standard. The whole place is yours alone—no shared facilities, no other guests wandering through. One well-behaved pet is welcome. Smoking is not permitted indoors.

This corner of Derbyshire suits walkers and anyone drawn to the Peak District's market towns and stone villages. The house itself demands nothing of you except to show up with people worth spending time with.
