Description :
The Courtyard has been converted from early Victorian cowsheds into six luxury bedrooms and a family suite. All are en-suite with tea/coffee making facilities, t.v and radio. The family suite has separate bedrooms for parents and children. All are on the ground floor and two of the bedrooms are category one for wheelchair users. The dining room and reception are also on the ground floor and are easily accessible for wheelchairs.
Situated in the south of the Derbyshire Dales in a tranquil location yet within minutes away from Dovedale and many more of the beautiful dales. We are also near many of the large houses such as Chatsworth, Calke Abbey, Sudbury hall, and Haddon Hall, to name but a few. For the more adventurous there is Alton Towers, just a short drive away (8 miles) also the American Adventure approximately 1 hours drive. There is so much to do and see it is just impossible to describe it all. Sorry we are unable to accept pets and smokers. Michael and Charlotte Harris offers you a warm and friendly welcome.
