Location
Situated in a peaceful countryside setting, close to Matlock on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
Stonemoor House Heart of England
Famous connections in the Peak District
Stonemoor House is a sensitively restored, six-bedroom, Georgian home, set in an acre of ornamental gardens designed by Sir Joseph Paxton. Step into the entrance hall with its Victorian tiled floor, grand fireplace, bookcases and armchairs and the scene is set for a luxurious and relaxing holiday.
Start with drinks in the drawing room, where you can admire the gardens from the large bay window, before moving through to the open plan kitchen and dining area, with its cosy mezzanine area above. This kitchen, equipped with Miele appliances, has hosted the Hairy Bikers, and local chefs say it’s the best kitchen in the area! Follow on to the games room, a lovely room with a decorative ceiling and French doors to the garden. The TV and reading room, which retains its original wood panelling, offers yet another space to relax.
Outside, seek out one of the many seating areas, from the walled patio with its Big Green Egg barbecue to a quiet corner and tea for two. Play croquet on the lower lawn, surrounded by scented flower borders and the stone balustrade and steps. Stroll through the woodland to discover the specimen trees, including a giant redwood and two gingko biloba trees, which are among the oldest in the country.
After days exploring the Peak District National Park, your supremely comfortable bedroom awaits. Luxury ensuites boast a mixture of roll top baths, walk-in showers and travertine tiles. If you don’t have an ensuite, lucky you, you get to use the amazing Moroccan wet room, with its basin from the souks of Marrakech.
For relaxation, outdoor activities, and the chance to spend quality time with family and friends in beautiful surroundings, Stonemoor House is just perfect.
