About the home

Cliff House has one of the best locations in all of The Peak District, with stunning 360 degree views of the area. It also has some of the finest walking The Peaks has to offer from right outside the door, including being only a 2 minutes’ walk away from the recently opened tunnels of the Monsal Trail. This runs all the way from Bakewell to Buxton, a very popular trail for walkers and cyclists of all ages.

Cliff House is also just a short walk to the pretty villages of Great Longstone, Little Longstone and the picture postcard village of Ashford in the Water. Incredibly accessible to main Peak attractions, it is only a 5 minute drive to the famous market town of Bakewell, 10 minute drive to the awe inspiring Chatsworth House and Estate and 15 minute drive to the historic spa town of Buxton. Please Google Monsal Dale to see some of the breath taking and beautiful scenery that can be seen from the windows of this property.

This spacious 10/11 bedroom Victorian House has recently been refurbished to an incredibly high standard with a mix of traditional features and contemporary style. Most bedrooms are large and en-suite and can be set up as doubles or twins depending on your needs. The master suite on the top floor (with the most incredible views) can sleep up to 6 people and two other rooms have bunk beds with the ability to sleep 4. The dining room is big enough for everyone to dine together and everything that you need to cater for large groups is provided for you in the brand new, stunningly designed farmhouse kitchen.

If your numbers increase or are larger than 26, you can add the 3 bedroomed cottage with a large bathroom with roll top bath (currently being decorated and available from 1st January 2013) to your booking and sleep a further 6 people. The Cottage is located next door to Cliff House (on site).

Outside there is a beautiful, recently landscaped garden, looking straight on to the Longstone Edge and down into the picturesque village of Little Longstone.

Cliff House also has an enviable location when it comes to being in walking distance from not just one but a selection of really good, heart-warmingly traditional pubs. This includes the infamous Pack Horse in Little Longstone, The White Lion in Great Longstone, and the Monsal Head Hotel with the fabulous traditional Stable Bar and fantastic outside seating area looking north westerly down into Monsal Dale.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Peak District/Derbyshire region

The Peak District is an area of great natural beauty with rugged, peat-covered moorlands and magnificent limestone dales (great for walking and cycling, as well as other, more dangerous sports), plus picturesque villages and some interesting towns. It is the location of Britain's first National Park - the Peak District National Park, which is the the world's second most visited National Park. The Peak District has numerous interesting and exciting tourist attractions Probably the chief among these is Chatsworth House - a magnificent house set in a landscaped park which is the home of the Dukes of Devonshire - major landowners in the area. This is followed by Haddon Hall outside Bakewell - the home of the Manners family, who are the Dukes of Rutland - is a beautifully preserved medieval manor house. The Peak District is a fine place for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling, and each week and especially at weekends, many thousands of people come here to enjoy these activities. There are numerous interesting towns to explore. Buxton is the one with the longest history, having been founded by the Romans, who exploited the warm spring water to build thermal baths, for which the town became very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result it has some magnificent buildings, notably the Georgian Crescent and the Opera House. It now has a thriving music and arts festival each summer. Bakewell was founded in Saxon Times and is the home of the Peak District National Park Authority and is a busy market town notable for its livestock market.

“Brilliant venue for small wedding celebration and weekend stay” We held a humanist wedding celebration in the lounge/dining room and had family and friends staying over the weekend. Everyone thought the house was very good. The kitchen is exceptionally well appointed and we had some great meals together with different table combinations. Justin was great, even getting in champagne glasses for us. The views from the upper floors are particularly good and Monsal Head is a great base for walking, cycling and touring.

“What an amazing house!” We spent a weekend at Cliff House for my sister's hen weekend. We were 20 girls who had planned a classy weekend away and Cliff House fitted the bill perfectly. Every part of the experience was fantastic, from making the initial enquiry, the helpfulness of the owners throughout the planning (every one of my silly questions were answered so efficiently) to the arrival, the stay and even the departure (when Justin helped us start our car). The house is amazing, so spacious and fully equipped for every eventuality (there were no waiting lines for bathrooms and we were able to make cocktails and a 3 course meal effortlessly). To top it all off, the location and views are fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend Cliff House and will be booking one of their other houses in the autumn for my husbands 40th.

“Excellent House” We've just had a great long weekend at Cliff House. We are a large group of friends who have a weekend away together every year. Cliff House is lovely. It has excellent lounges and a beautiful dining room. The kitchen is very smart and well equipped for large groups. All the bathrooms are new and the beds are very comfortable. It's an ideal venue for groups. There are good local pubs within a short walk and the house sits at Monsal Head next to the trail which is ideal for walks or cycle rides.

“Amazing house” We usually meet up as a group of old university friebds once a year and finding a cottage for >20 can be a challenge. Cliff House however exceeded all our previous experiences and expectations. The house is beautifully decorated in a good mix of modern furniture but preserving the old Victorian features. The house was warm with underfloor heating and being able to regulate temp in each room was great especially as it was a cold november. The rooms were done to a high spec so the first time it felt like we were in a home away from home. It was just so comfortable. The owners (from my friends) liasing with them seemed really pleasant and chilled out. It was also great to be told dont need to strip beds and keep cottage clean but not spotless. All things we would do if needed but sometimes when your leaving a place for holiday you dont want to finnish it cleaning to spotlessness and stripping beds. It felt like the owners appreciated our need for a good relaxing break. The kitchen is so impressive and great to relax and chat in. The location near Monsal trail and Bakewell was perfect. With Chatworths only 7miles away.

“Stunning location, stunning views, stunning house, stunning people” We booked Cliff House to accommodate a group get together for my partner's 40th birthday celebrations. With people up and down the country, we wanted somewhere central for everyone to meet. The group (30 people in total) consisted of families, couples and single friends, with children ranging from 6 months to 11 years. From initial enquiries, through to departure the booking team and property owners were so welcoming and accommodating. The location was truly amazing, and we certainly made the most of it, by taking part in walks around and about, even a visit to the local pub (beer garden) who were also very warm and welcoming to groups (with muddy boots). The house it's self was such a stunning house, fantastic rooms, extremely comfortable and of a very high standard all through. After the initial excitement of discovering all the secret stairways and rooms, the children soon settled and took over the comfy lounge area, as a play room. We saw very little of them. They did venture in to the garden a couple of times, and burnt off some excess energy on the trampoline. But like the adults, they were captured by the warmth inside and cosiness the house had to offer. Through the whole weekend, we wanted for nothing, the mass array of cupboards had everything we needed, even tin tankards that fitted in so well with our Oktoberfest themed night. It was truly worth every penny we spent.

“Wonderful house in a wonderful location” As a big university reunion party we couldn't have been made more welcome. It really is an incredible place with the highest spec equipment in the most amazing location. Handy for great local pubs and walking but also in our case for revisiting Sheffield on your doorstep.

“Unforgettable” Quite simply you can't go wrong if you book time in this well presented cottage. Every aspect of the cottage is class from the comfy beds to the lounge and kitchen area. The location is also perfect to visit some amazing places in the Peak District. Last but not least, the views are incredible!

“Fabulous house and location” We booked the property for a celebratory family gathering of 14 adults and 8 children ranging from 7 to 12 years old and couldn't have asked for anything better. The house has been beautifully renovated, with lots of luxurious touches, very comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. The living spaces were just the right size for us all to gather together, and the children loved the three floors and two staircases.. great for exploring and playing hide and seek. The property is brilliantly located, across the road from the Monsal Head beauty spot, with walking and cycling on the doorstep. It is also within walking distance of two pubs, one of which (the Pack Horse) we visited for an evening meal, and Bakewell is just a five minute drive. A great place for our family celebration.

“Beautiful house, beautiful surroundings, perfect hen party!” Cliff House is the most amazing house! There were 22 of us that stayed at the house for my hen party and we had the greatest time! There was plenty of room for us all to get ready which you need with 22 girls! We had all that we needed at the house and I could not have had a better time. The rooms and bathrooms are stunning and the place beautifully decorated. The view from the top bedroom window is gorgeous! I will be recommending Cliff House to everyone and cannot wait to have an excuse for a trip back!

“Beautiful House with amazing views ideal for parties and families” Really enjoyed our stay at Cliff house with 9 adults and 6 under fives. Loads of room, fantastically well presented, clean and accommodating. The owners were really kind, sorted everything out just the way we had asked and we would stay there again if we have the chance. Would recommend to any group looking for a bit of luxury away from it all.

“A truly wonderful stay in a fantastic property” We enjoyed a Diamond wedding anniversary celebration for my parents in this wonderful house and location. There were 28 in our party with age rage of 82 years to 13 months, all thoroughly enjoyed the experience with plenty of space to socialise and a fantastic kitchen which had every necessary piece of equipment to allow us to cook with ease. The kitchen was amazing. Bedrooms and lounge areas were spacious enough for our large party and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Bathrooms were luxurious and the master suite was tremendous. The garden was lovely but sadly the weather prevented us from using it as much as we would have liked!! We would certainly and unreservedly recommend this glorious property.

“Amazing house, perfectly kitted out for large groups and great location for getting into the countryside” All the rooms were well furnished and the beds were very comfortable. There was lots of choice of bedrooms for couples or families with an amazing master suite on the top floor. The owners were friendly and helpful and the surrounding scenery fantastic. All in a great place for large groups to stay together whether you intend to go out and about or just stay in and make the most of the facilities.
