We stayed at the Stanshope few weeks ago, and absolutely loved it! Amazing, homely place and stunning surrounding! In the evening it's so peaceful and quiet, you actually feel relaxed. The owner of the place recommended a pub near by for a dinner, and I have to admit, it was better than some of the best restaurants in UK! Will... More

After a day walking in the Manifold valley in the rain we were welcomed into the lounge where there was a blazing fire, given a pot of tea and homemade Christmas cake. They booked a table for us at the nearby George Hotel, Alstonfield for our evening meal. We relaxed in our room, lovely big room with super views down... More

We had such a lovely warm welcome and were made to feel so at home, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was large and very warm considering it was so cold outside, the bathroom was spacious and spotless. Breakfast was superb a great selection for the whole family. Thank you Lynn and Alison

We stayed here beginning of September 2012. We were looking for a family friendly (being with 13 month old baby girl), quiet getaway. Stanshope Hall was perfect. We drove through beautiful winding lanes and reached the guesthouse in good time from Derby. An easy 1 hour drive. It feels isolated in a good way!! But it is still very easy... More

We felt at home straight away. Arrived at 8:00pm to find Lynne our lovely host there with a tray of tea and biscuits for us. She sat us down in the drawing room which is lovely. The rest of the time we stayed there was similar pampering. The breakfast was fantastic and even my girls who are picky eaters loved... More

The hall itself is very imposing, standing atop a hill and, if approached from the South, visible from a long way off. The rooms are huge, well equipped, uniquely decorated and are very comfortable.

The best thing about this hotel was the warm welcome we received. After a long drive to be offered tea, coffee and cakes in the drawing when we arrived was excellent. The hotel is beautiful and the King room is lovely with amazing view. The breakfast were amazing and the scrambled egg is supposed to be yellow and tastes lovely!... More

My wife & I visited the Peak District for a weekend break & Stanshope Hall was the perfect place to stay. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Naomi who provided a pot of tea & some home made flapjacks with a delicious hint of citrus. We stayed in the Striped Room which was spacious & well appointed with a... More

Spent four nights at Stanshope Hall. A perfect "away from it all" retreat. A wonderful breakfast served each morning by excellent staff. I still wasn't hungry by lunchtime!! The 17th century house is surrounded by a lovely English country garden. On my arrival on day one I was welcomed with a tray of tea and cake, served in the lovely... More
