For the weekends you finally make happen
When you finally get everyone saying yes, you need a place that doesn't add more decisions.
Booked as one house for up to twelve adults. Designed for groups of friends and walking parties who want space, comfort, and privacy — one proper bedroom each, a space to gather, and an easy walk to theatres, cafés, and Peak District paths.
Six proper bedrooms. No sofa beds. No awkwardness.
Bedrooms that don't need negotiating
Every room is a real bedroom — no sofa beds, no camp beds, no one in the corner of the lounge.
Lockable doors and a three-floor layout mean early risers and night owls can keep their own rhythm, so groups stay comfortable and much easier to organise.

Arrive & Head Straight Out
Drop your bags and walk to dinner or drinks — no taxis, no coordinating.

The Shared Spaces
Space to be together without feeling on top of each other
A big dining table for shared meals, a living area for curling up with a drink or a game, a kitchen that works with several people pottering around, and a small outdoor spot for fresh air after a day in the Peaks.
