Description CRESSBROOK HALL COTTAGES Enjoy the beauty of the Peak District and sample the warm heart of Derbyshire! A wonderful opportunity to relax, refresh and re-charge in a unique blend of special self-catering or dramatically different guest accommodation at Cressbrook Hall. A variety of thoughtfully prepared limestone dwellings, all within the grounds of Cressbrook Hall. Today Cressbrook Hall provides self catering holiday cottages, together with elegant serviced accommodation in the Hall itself. It is the spectacular venue for wedding receptions, family celebrations, management training and team building/leadership courses: 23 acres of park and woodland are perfect for outdoor activities. CRESSBROOK HALL The Hall occupies a magnificent location, overlooking a natural limestone gorge created by the River Wye. Designed by Thomas Johnson of Lichfield and built in 1835, the hall has remained in private ownership and most of its original features are remarkably well preserved. The grounds and gardens, presently being restored to the original planting plan, are open to the public during the Summer. Cressbrook Hall is an imposing family home which we enjoy sharing with guests in an informal and friendly fashion. Bedrooms are all en suite with tea/coffee, T.V. and most have wonderful views of Water-cum-Jolly and Upperdale. 1 x double, 1 x twin and 1 x family suite. You may prefer to occupy a property in the grounds and come in to the Hall for one of our special breakfasts. LOWER LODGE An original lodge house at the southern entrance to the Hall: curiously shaped rooms with views of the Hall, grounds and Water-cum-Jolly Dale. 1 x double bedroom and bathroom with shower tub, hand-basin, w.c. The sitting room has an open fire and views of the Hall Grounds, overlooking the river. Ground floor accommodation (suitable for physically disabled visitors) HIDESAWAY Hidesaway is perched above the wood that leads to the River Wye. The spacious sitting room has panoramic views over the river towards Millers Dale and gives access to the south facing balcony shared with Lower Lodge. There is level access from the parking area to an entrance porch, preparation/dining kitchen and large dining room with views over Ravensdale. A double bedroom and large room with 4 x single beds both adjoin a bathroom, equipped for wheelchair users. The property also has a shower, which is designed for wheelchair users. RUBICON RETREAT A large open plan, split level room with balcony, overlooking the river in Water-cum-Jolly Dale serves for food preparation, dining and on a lower level relaxing, watching T.V. etc - check suitability for disabled visitors. Lower Lodge, Hidesaway and Rubicon Retreat are ideal for larger groups. CARRIAGE COTTAGE A conversion of the original Carriage House in the grounds of the Hall. Peaceful seclusion in spacious accommodation for 6/7 mainly on ground floor. TOP SPOT AND HIGH SPY Recently renovated gardeners' buildings; these two adjacent properties, kitchens and sitting rooms connect, occupy the original Victorian Gardens site high above Cressbrook Hall. GARDEN COTTAGE Overlooks the Halls's formal garden with a fine view of the hillside beyond. The cottage is a conversion of the original library and accommodates four people. HALL COTTAGE Adjoining Garden Cottage and sharing the same view, Hall Cottage is an unconventional conversion. Bathroom, sitting/dining room (open fire) and kitchen are on ground floor - you go downstairs to bed. WEDDING RECEPTIONS AND CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES Cressbrook Hall provides a venue for wedding receptions, management training/team building/personal development courses and family reunions. The recently restored orangery is airy and elegant, giving 65 square metres of space for receptions, lectures and productions. It is now the central feature of the south facade, giving direct access to the formal gardens and to the north conservatory. Guests and delegates are accommodated in cottages and/or Cressbrook Hall, and the Hall grounds provide a wonderful setting for photographs and outdoor exercises. We have a fascinating dew pond inhabited by newts, frogs, etc which attracts many species of birds and wildlife.
