Just an amazing gem, the property itself is an amazing estate with great staff and food - with the feel of a small boutique manor, it offers a nice luxurious retreat at a reasonable price, it was the highlight stay of our 16 day trip around the UK.

Fantastic old property that has been sympathetically restored / converted with fantastic rooms. Brilliant breakfast and typical Peak District hospitality….. Easy walk into the village too, where there’s shops and a couple of very good pubs too. We stayed three nights and could easily have stayed longer…. Hell Yeah!

Delightful stay at Oakhill

Stayed for three nights for a family get together. Oakhill was most welcoming with friendly staff and efficient service. Though we found the evening menu somewhat limited, the food was excellent and extremely well presented. The building had real character and the gardens were delightful. With it’s industrial heritage we all found Cromford an interesting area to explore.
