A very relaxing and peaceful stay. I booked this at the last minute due to attending a course in Hartington. What a find! Everything was simply superb. Warm and friendly, delicious food, in a quiet part of Derbyshire. The room itself was lovely and cozy with everything I needed. The little extras like the cold water in the fridge in the hallway was a really lovely extra touch. I will definitely be returning with my husband to explore the area and sample some more of the yummy homemade food.

A beautiful setting and a gorgeous house. Naomi was so friendly and gave us a lovely afternoon tea with homemade cakes on arrival, followed by a light supper in the guests drawing room in front of a roaring fire. Breakfast was also fabulous - loved the homemade granola! All in all a fantastic start to our walking holiday!

Stanshope Hall was a lovely place. I did a long distance hike and needed accommodation in this area. In fact Stanshope Hall was the only available option for me that night. Naomi told me she wouldn't be there that day and warned me she wouldn't be able to let me in before 7PM, but she was kind enough to accommodate me. I didn't regret it. It was the best stay of my 8-day trip. The house and the atmosphere were fantastic, the living room and breakfast room were beautifully set up. Breakfast was great, so I had a wonderful stay.

An excellent stay thank you !

Naomi was so lovely and enabled us to check in early as we were there to attend a wedding down the road. She made us tea upon arrival and made sure we felt relaxed and well looked after after a long drive. We really appreciated her.

😀 - A beautiful spot which exceeded our expectations! The bed was huge and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. It was so quiet and relaxing we booked to go again in April!

What you waiting for????? 😀 - This beautiful old property is full of character and charm. The host was lovely and the welcome tray was very much appreciated after a long day walking. The bathroom was very modern, the room decor was not in keeping with the age of the property, nor was it modern, more 80's, it was however immaculately clean. Lots of small touches not found in other B&B's. Amazing selection of teas etc in the room and fresh milk in a little fridge on the landing. The guest lounge had a roaring fire. Breakfast was superb, plentiful and good quality. We will definitely return, a great base for the area. 😞 - Nothing

Superb Alstonefield B and B 😀 - We have stayed here previously and it's one of our favourites in this area. Very warm welcome from Naomi tea and cake in the lounge on arrival. Large room overlooking the garden and local scenery. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Excellent shower with huge bath too. Superb breakfast.

Lovely historical Bed and Breakfast property 😀 - From the moment we arrived at Stanshope Hall we felt looked after. Naomi brought us tea and home made cakes in front of a roaring log fire, just after we had put our bags in our room. Careful attention was given to our breakfast choices which we gave the afternoon before. The breakfast was first class. After our return from an evening out, we were able to buy wine which we drank in the sitting room in front of the lovely fire. The building itself is full of history and many original features survive. It is clear that the house is lovingly cared for and there are many distinctive decorative touches including hand painted friezes. Our room was comfortable and we lacked for nothing. The property is unique and a little quirky, in a very positive way. It sits in a commanding position overlooking rolling countryside and was a perfectly placed for exploring the dales and gorges in the area. We enjoyed our visit throughly. 😞 - Nothing in particular.

😀 - The whole environment is incredible. A real family feel where the guests are made to feel so special. 😞 - Nothing! The stay was absolutely perfect

Stunning b&b. Naomi is a very warm host and Georgina cooks an amazing breakfast. Room was lovely too.

Me and my wife just spent a lovely weekend here for our anniversary. Can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, we were greeted with a tray of tea and homemade cakes and biscuits and even provided with the recipe! The room was spacious and the bed so comfortable. A beautiful building in fantastic countryside with amazing views. The breakfast was great, anything you like in any combination, it certainly set us up for the day. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for a perfect wekend, we're both looking forrward to staying there again soon.

Wow what can we say a beautiful place lovely host homemade flapjack and biscuits roaring fire xxx just beautiful quirky

We really enjoyed your stay in this magical place. Naomi the owner is so friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were delicious and it was great to relax with a cuppa in the sitting room with a real fire. Handy for walking to Dovedale and visiting Ilam nearby.

Amazing setting, so peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Hosts are so friendly and welcoming, on arrival we were offered tea/coffee and home made biscuits in the drawing room with a welcoming open fire. Lovely original building with very comfortable rooms and everything you need provided, spotlessly clean and nice bathroom with roll top bath and great shower. Very comfortable bed and fantastic nights sleep. Breakfast is pre ordered the day before(like this idea, very well organised) and it was very enjoyable with a good selection to choose from….the home made granola and jams were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend! We will absolutely come back again next time we are in the area.
Thanks again Matt & Kerrie
