On arrival you are welcomed in the drawing room where tea (or coffee as you prefer) is served and where you can relax after a long journey or an energetic day. Here there are plenty of plenty of books to browse through and many guides to the area around Eyam and the Peak National Park. This room with its restful blues, its views across the garden, and its silence away from television and radio, is reserved for the use of guests, where you can read, chat or play games.
Our four poster bedroom, is a beautifully spacious room with an adjacent private bathroom. It faces south overlooking the Georgian-laid round lawn which leads down to our lower lawn facing the ancient Eyam Delf. The focus of the twin-bedded bedroom is a pair of delightful eighteenth century French beds with their baroque headboards and exuberant paintings. The clear yellow, gold and white theme emphasizes the spaciousness of the room to which the ensuite shower and toilet is an unobtrusive addition (the aim of any change in a listed house!)

Both bedrooms have colour remote television and hospitality trays, white cotton bed linen and non-allergic pillows. Bathrobes, hairdryers, shampoos and shower gels are provided for the use of guests. For guests staying five days or more we have laundry facilities on request. Both bedrooms have mains cold water which is drinkable.
With its stone flagged floor huge old ships' beams (recycling has always been practiced!) the dramatic fireplace with its massive stone over mantle and the arched iron studded fourteenth century church door, the dining room is a wonderful place for a Derbyshire breakfast. Guests sit round the oval table and are happy to chat and exchange information about the best walks or historic haunts. The eighteenth century window overlooks a small paved courtyard, decorated with planted containers and enclosed by stone outbuildings that are reputedly of pre-plagued period. |
