A delightful family home.

This was a fabulous experience to stay at Florence Nightingale’s summer home. A most beautiful and historic house in its own grounds ( Nightingale Park) and a delightful family home. We were made most welcome and enjoyed our stay very much.

A very special place to stay as this was the family home of Florence Nightingale. We stayed in two bedrooms which were the rooms that she grew up in before she went to Crimea. This is not a hotel. It’s more of a guest house with a few of the rooms rented out on a nightly basis. The property is accessed through several gates so it’s on very private land. The views are amazing of the local countryside and there’s a very beautiful garden around the house and sheep in the fields a little further away. The host at the House house may change in the future but we had a lovely lady from Ukraine called Svitlana who made us most welcome staying at the house. She made us a wonderful breakfast in the morning to order and did everything we asked to help and made our stay very pleasant. Beware there are no TV in the bedroom but there was a TV in the lounge downstairs. Some of the downstairs rooms could be used for an intimate breakfast with great views into the countryside. The Location was perfect for visiting Matlock and Matlock Barth with the attractions of Abraham Heights,fish and chip shops along the river Derwent, etc and it was a 30 minute drive to Chatsworth and Bakewell and Haddon Hall. Overall I would highly recommend a few nights at this location especially given the hospitality from Svitlana and the historic nature of the house

This is definitely a highlight of our mini break. Sitting in lady Nightingale's library for breakfast with a great view of the hill is perfect way of relaxing. Plus learning so much of the history from the host. This is my first time of recommend a accommodation.

Historical luxury BnB treat.

Wonderful property at the foot of the Peak District, which has been renovated to a very high standard with original features in abundance. Our host Peter went out of his way to make us feel welcome and shared a lot of interesting stories about this home, which once belonged to the Florence Nightingale family. Beautiful surroundings and a very nice English breakfast in the dining room by the fire. Looking forwards to coming back!
