Dining Room

There is a separate lounge for the exclusive use of guests and this has a television and cosy atmosphere.

There are many pubs and restaurants within easy driving distance. The Rising Sun is within a short walk of about ten minutes and offers a wide range of meals at lunchtime and in the evening.

We have a total of five guest bedrooms - 3 doubles, 1 twin and 1 single - this allows us to provide a flexible variety of accommodation i.e.

• 3 doubles
• 2 doubles + 1 twin
• 5 singles
• 6 singles where two share the twin room.

We can therefore cater for family groups or groups of cyclists, walkers etc. who may prefer separate sleeping accommodation.

Double Bedroom

Twin Bedroom

All bedrooms are centrally heated and have facilities for making tea and coffee. A television is provided in each bedroom.

There are two bathrooms for the use of guests with a shower over the bath in each one.

We do not permit smoking in the bedrooms.

There is a patio with garden furniture at the rear of the house giving access to the spacious gardens which lead down to the stream. Beyond the garden open countryside extends for miles over Shatton Moor and delightful walking country is at your doorstep.

Spacious Gardens

The Local Area

The White House is centrally located for all the attractions of the Peak Park and has open countryside at the doorstep with many walks and cycling routes close to hand.

Bakewell

There is a wealth of interesting towns and villages to explore. Bakewell, is a delightful small market town (market day on Monday) and the livestock market makes it a regular meeting place for the farmers of the area. It is of course renowned for the Bakewell Pudding.
Buxton is rich in splendid Victorian and Edwardian architecture and hosts an annual opera festival at the newly refurbished Opera House which has a full programme of entertainments throughout the year.
Many smaller villages each have their own charm. Eyam, famous for its self imposed isolation when it was struck by the Plague, has craft shops and an interesting hall.

Tideswell Church

Tideswell has a church known as The Cathedral of the Peak on account of its size, fine architecture and fine wood carvings. Castleton is dominated by the keep of a Norman castle as well as a fine range of showcaves and gift shops selling jewellery made from Blue John which is a gemstone unique to the area.
Many villages continue the tradition of Welldressing - the creation of beautiful pictures made from flower petals and natural materials pressed into a panel of clay to celebrate the gift of water. These are often linked to carnivals and other festivities.

Ladybower Reservoir

The Ladybower, Derwent and Howden reservoirs are within a short cyle ride or drive of the White House and offer delightful walks away from traffic, and the peace to marvel at the engineering skills that went into collecting the plentiful water from the peat moorlands of the Dark Peak to supply drinking water to much of the Midlands and to the City of Sheffield. Beyond, the high and remote moors offer remarkable walking country for those who truly want to escape the comforts of civilisation and seek their own solitude.

High Peak Trail

The Peak District has facilities for a very wide range of outdoor activities. The High Peak Trail , following the bed of former railway lines, provides a car free route across the limestone uplands of the White Peak and cycle hire is available. Rock climbing is popular on both limestone and gritstone or you may choose to venture underground in the showcaves or, for the experienced, in the numerous potholes, mines and caves. Other activities available include hang-gliding, paragliding, gliding, fishing , golf and swimming. Excellent Tourist Information centres are there to help you make the most of your visit to this lovely area.

Chatsworth House

The Peak District boasts impressive stately homes such as Chatsworth, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and set within dramatic grounds and extravagant gardens. Not to be missed, however, is Haddon Hall the unspoilt nature of which has made it a popular set for films and dramas.
There are a number of National Trust estates in the area and Hardwick Hall, Kedleston and Calke Abbey are within a reasonable drive - if you are looking for further inspiration for home improvement!
We will of course be happy to share with you our local knowledge of the area and help you plan your outings to make the most of your stay with us.
