The main house at Stainsborough Hall is a substantial property with large rooms where you can meet, eat and share your holiday - and available for hire for the first time this year. Equally, there is enough space, both inside and out that you can find a quiet space to read a book. The house is suitable for 20 people with ten bedrooms, six bathrooms and a walk-in wardrobe, utility room and a boot room. The main house was completely renovated last year and offers high levels of comfort and luxury.
The enormous, characterful kitchen is fully-fitted and fully-equipped with a large central island. While in the utility room there is a washing machine, tumble dryer, large freezer and ‘mini-bar’ with local produce (a price list is available).
The main living room has plenty of sofas and easy chairs to sit 20 people comfortably, as well as, an open fire for those winter evenings.
The dining room, which is directly off the kitchen also has seating for 20 people and we provide ample tableware, glasses, and cutlery for everyone.
The TV room is home to a large TV with Sky and a wood-burning stove. While in the games room, we have a pool table for you to enjoy.
There are 10 bedrooms on the first and second floors of the house that offer some flexibility in terms of the bed configuration. On the first floor there are three bathrooms and a walk-in wardrobe, with another bathroom on the top floor.
The Main house is accessed through an archway and surrounded by beautiful mature gardens offering complete privacy from the holiday cottages that are on the estate. Outside, there is a south-facing terrace with and outdoor table and seating for everyone. The tennis court is also available for guest use and this is shared with the holiday cottages – but the only facility that is shared.
We provide everything you'll need for a comfortable stay - Linens and towels are included - and we leave those little things you'll need - such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, bin bags, tea towels, shampoo, conditioner - in your cottage so you don't need to worry about bringing everything with you.
Unfortunately we are not able to allow dogs in the main house (there are too many cream carpets). Pets, are, however, permitted in the holiday cottages.
From the house you can step straight out onto the many public footpaths that cross the Derbyshire countryside. You can walk directly from our land on the path around Carsington Water (ideal for walking and cycling), the nearest country pub is a 1 mile walk across the fields and you can walk to the market town of Wirksworth over the fields is less than 30 minutes.
Before you arrive you will receive a comprehensive information pack detailing all the activities that you can do in the area. We also provide an online shopping service should you want to stock your cottage with local produce. And through our partnerships with local attractions we can offer discount tickets to Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, The Heights of Abraham, Crich Tramway Museum and Matlock Farm Park.
We've already received great reviews for our cottages and we are sure that nobody will be disappointed with the main house.
