Stanshope Hall is a fabulous place, very well located in the Peak District, within easy walking distance of Dovedale and Thorpe Cloud. Moira was an excellent host, providing a lovely light evening meal, and a great breakfast. The Hall is unique, with three guest rooms, each with its own interesting decor. An outstanding place to stay, whether you just want to relax or enjoy the local walks.
United KingdomThe friendly welcome: roaring log fire, fresh coffee, orange zest flapjacks in delightful lounge. Breakfast was also top notch.
United KingdomStunning location, lovely property, garden and view from room. Path adjacent to property leads to Milldale, Ilam Rock Bridge and Dovedale . Welcome tray on arrival with scones and coffee by log fire in lounge. We were able to come back from walk and light fire in lounge - perfect. Staff and host could not have been more welcoming and helpful, but unobtrusive. Large, comfortable spacious room with lovely en-suite. Tasty, well presented, quality breakfast in room with views of garden.
United KingdomNaomi and her excellent team made the whole experience really superb - rarely have I stayed anywhere and felt more welcomed and well received. Food is top notch, the surroundings beautiful, the atmosphere in the lounge convivial and cosy.
United KingdomLovely welcome, beautiful building and gardens, very comfortable room and excellent breakfast. Everything one needs from a B&B!
United KingdomThe rooms were really nice and had a large en suite bathroom connected/toilet. The room was nicely cleaned when we came back the following day and we were really pleased to have more bottles of water, teabags/coffee and milk. The breakfasts were great. Proper home cooking, with a great choice.
