Bed and Breakfast accommodation at Manor Farm, Dethick near Matlock in Derbyshire - one of the most romantic and historic houses in the Peak District ...

...hidden away in a peaceful rural backwater of winding lanes and dry stone walls in a magnificent setting with wonderful views ... 

                                                                    ...this Grade II* listed house was once  the home of
                                                                    Anthony Babington whose ill-fated plot to rescue Mary
                                                                   Queen of Scots cost him his head and finally resulted
                                                                    in Mary's execution.


Simon and Gilly Groom enjoy welcoming  bed and breakfast guests to their lovely historic home at Dethick, a tiny unspoilt hamlet comprising just three farms and a church - the perfect place to unwind.
