The Coach House is an ideal gathering space, with comfortable apartments and a large communal areas. Whether you are bringing extended family together, searching for your next company meeting space or a friends’ get-together, this is a great space to enjoy as a group. Surrounded by fields, the property forms one wing of the stables around a courtyard, with the former coach house at the front providing the communal space.

The property is made up of four separate units/apartments, each accessed off the courtyard; three on the first floor with kitchens and washing facilities, one on the ground floor without a kitchen but with a shower room.  Full details of each of the apartments can be found below. 

The location is perfect. It is just on the border of the Peak District, with so many places to explore and something for all members of the family and all ages to enjoy. There is also a popular pub within 150 metres!

Sit at one of the picnic benches, bordered by olive trees, or set off on one of the numerous footpaths from the village. Get on your bicycle and head for the High Peak or Tissington Trails to pedal across the Peaks. Perhaps just drop down into Matlock to explore all the local shops, pubs and restaurants or stroll through Matlock Bath with its Victorian seaside feel and cable cars to The Heights of Abraham. Magnificent Chatsworth House or Bakewell with a traditional Monday market, Monsal Dale's dramatic gorge, Calver Edge's breath-taking views, Peak Rail's steam trains, Crich's nostalgic tramway museum and water sports at Carsington are all within easy reach. Some of the world’s most impressive stalactites and stalagmites can be found in Poole’s Cavern and the famous Blue John stone can only be found in Castleton’s caves.

The accommodation was lovely. Much better than I was expecting. Everything was in lovely condition and very clean. The outside space was great for the children to play- ages ranged from 9 to nearly 4. The fact that there were separate self contained units meant that adults/kids could escape for a bit of quiet if they wanted to. We actually looked aRead moret re-booking for next year but it's already booked for the dates we wanted. Hide

Great house. Loads of space and perfect for our group size. Lovely garden and courtyard area. Really enjoyed our stay. Only minor point - blinds are thin so in the summer it is quite bright early in the morning!

Good: The Christmas decs & tree were lovely. The communal lounge was beautiful. Not so good: There was virtually no heat in a lot of the building. Very poor pressure & little hot water. Huge disparity between apartments. Ours had no drawers for clothing, 1 clothes rail between the 2 bedrooms (sleeping for 5) & 5 coat hangers so we liveRead mored out of our suitcases. One of our children had nose bleeds during the night & after 2 nights, we had to ask for more sheets. They didnt have any so we stripped the bed & the owners mum in law took them away & washed them. Understandably, she wasnt happy. This property is NOT 4*. Hide
