Ladyhole House is an Edwardian country house, located in Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District. Set at the top of a sweeping drive lined with mature chestnut trees and covered in a carpet of daffodils in the Spring. Both the house and cottage are set in mature gardens and grounds with many beautiful trees and a walled garden.
The name Ladyhole dates back to medieval times, when a nunnery existed at the site, and was referred to as the 'ladies of the hollow'.
The Old Stables is a delightful Derbyshire cottage and is situated to the rear of the main house and has its own delightful cottage gardens. Converted from a bothy in 1995, it offers luxury accommodation. Guests are welcome to enjoy all that the gardens offer, outdoor barbecues in the summer, an 'en tout cas' tennis court and croquet. For horse owners there are stables and grazing near to the house.
Quiet countryside surrounds the house where it is possible to walk and cycle, and yet Ashbourne, the local market town, is only two miles away.
There are limited facilities for those with impaired mobility including ramps and a Stannah stairlift.
The house is beautifully furnished and can sleep 6 or 7 people very comfortably. It consists of upstairs, 1 double or twin-bedded room (with Z bed), and adjacent bathroom, and one further twin-bedded room with shower. Downstairs is a twin-bedded room with basin and lavatory opposite. There is a Stannah stairlift to assist those with impaired mobility to get upstairs. There are also ramps for wheelchairs.
Leading off the hallway is a fully equipped kitchen with Rayburn, and a utility room. The sitting room has an open fire and logs and coal are provided. There is a television with DVD and CD player. French windows open out into a large conservatory, furnished with dining table and chairs, together with comfortable chairs for relaxing in.
