Martyn United Kingdom

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.

Ash United Kingdom

Lovely welcome on arrival....Great location for walking..excellent Breakfast choice

Steven United Kingdom

Absolutely stunning property full of charm and character. An added bonus of being able to light an open fire in the evening and listen to some old vinyls in the sitting room. We were only due to stay one night, but booked a second night as it was so lovely. We have already recommended it to friends and will be going back there if we're in the area again.

Celia United Kingdom

The place and house is to dream for. The owner made us feel so welcome and offered tea on arrival. The breakfast was probably the best I ever had.

Margot United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast served beautifully. Our room was very comfortable and clean with everything we could wish for.

Brownsword United Kingdom

The beautiful surroundings and personal welcome. Everything we wanted and more in our room. Choice of breakfast sitting
