Set at the top of a sweeping drive lined with mature chestnut trees and covered in a carpet of daffodils in the Spring. Both the house and cottage are set in mature gardens and grounds with many beautiful trees and a walled garden.
The name Ladyhole dates back to medieval times, when a nunnery existed at the site, and was referred to as the 'ladies of the hollow'.
The Coachmans Cottage is a delightful Derbyshire cottage and is situated to the rear of the main house and has its own delightful cottage gardens. Converted from a bothy in 1995, it offers luxury accommodation. Guests are welcome to enjoy all that the gardens offer, outdoor barbecues in the summer, an 'en tout cas' tennis court and croquet.

Treat yourself to a bit of luxury, with crisp white cotton linen and huge towels. All designed to make your stay extremely comfortable.
The owners are on hand to help in any way they can. Either by suggesting features of the area to visit, or providing that little extra to make sure your stay is as pleasant as possible.
