Bed and Breakfast Description |
| |
|
We're Bill & Marilyn Nichols. Our farmhouse is a great place to stay in Bakewell, the heart of the Peak District National Park on the ancient Haddon Hall estate. Built in 1852, the listed Victorian building sculpted of mellow stone stands on the site of the ancient lost manor of Burton. Our beautiful farm nestles in a magical valley where romance and dynasties have made history.
You'll probably be familiar already with the fabulous Peak District, having seen it exploited in films such as "Pride & Prejudice", Keira Knightley in "The Duchess", Natalie Portman & Scarlet Johansson in "The Other Boleyn Girl", Cate Blanchett and Joseph Fiennes in "Elizabeth". Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt have been filming the remake of "The Wolf Man" at Chatsworth House. It's a great place to enjoy your precious time away.
A featured home in BBC Homes & Antiques magazine, our home is full to brimming with collectables, murals, beautiful furniture and objects. There is lots to admire and enjoy. Treat yourself to a special break with us, impress someone with your thoughtfulness, take away happy memories. Let us arrange the flowers and make a dinner reservation for you. There isn't another place as good as this at this price! The 21st century has reached our place, too -- Sky TV available, and WiFi throughout the house for your convenience. |

Bakewell Attractions |

"The most important archeaological site in Derbyshire" (from a Peak Park Survey). The valley has seen 4,000 years of farming where stone-age man toiled to feed his family, and left us the evidence of his ploughing, village, and burial chambers. Across from Haddon Hall, one of our fields has the remains of the deserted medieval village and associated field systems from the medieval village of Nether Haddon, which is a scheduled ancient monument. While DMV's are not rare in the UK, to find a village which has the residual evidence of field systems unharmed from modern farming methods is rare. Our farming practices are mindful of the preservation of this heritage and enhance the environment for the benefit of our animals and all wildlife. The Peak Park is a great place to visit; diverse, beautiful, yet so accessible. The atmospheric henge and stone circle of Arbor Low is a few miles west of Bakewell - a very impressive place to visit.
Here is the cradle of the industrial revolution - Sir Richard Arkwright lived and worked here, built his mills and his business empire in these valleys. Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, afraid to reveal the true extent of her huge gambling losses to her husband, the 5th Duke of Devonshire, borrowed the money instead from Sir Richard! Georgiana was a Spencer and an ancestor of the late Princess Diana. There are similarities in these two lives (both popular and prominent beauties of their day, both with troubled marriages that weren't quite what they had envisaged in their youthful optimism... I could go on - ask me for more when you come!). Keira Knightley is playing the part of Georgiana in the film "The Duchess" about Georgiana's turbulent and interesting life. |

B&B Location
|
| |
Haddon House Farm is located at Bakewell's southern boundary, level walking distance from the centre of this charming old market town - about 10 minutes' walk.
If approaching Bakewell from the south along the A6 the entrance to Haddon House Farm is on the left just after the Bakewell town sign and inside the max. 40 mph zone.
From the north, pass through Bakewell on the A6 (heading south). A mile after the roundabout in the town's centre, the "Agricultural Centre" is signed to the left. A further 150 metres along the A6, Haddon House Farm will be seen on the right with big stone pillars marking the drive. If you travel on into the 50mph zone (heading for Haddon Hall and Matlock), you will have gone too far.
No need to worry about traffic noise while you stay with us - the house is up a long drive and is very peaceful, as commented on by many of our guests. "So quiet! We didn't expect the house to be as quiet as this!" There's a beautiful extensive garden to sit in with a lovely waterfall and pond, and a quiet secluded corner with a hot tub. Plenty of garden chairs and tables are scattered throughout the garden so you can sit and admire the view.
