A 14th-century castle on the slopes of Kinder Scout, this villa is as much an experience as it is a place to stay. The oak-framed medieval great hall – where stained-glass coats of arms throw pools of colour across ancient walls – sets an atmosphere few holiday homes can match. Gather in the bar with its flagstone floor, dine alfresco on the hillside terrace, or warm yourselves around one of the many woodburning stoves. Thirty acres of estate come with exclusive access to the Peak District's highest plateau, right on the doorstep.

Home truths
Several of the king-size beds can be split into twin singles – let your host know your preferred configuration before you arrive.
The castle sits on the slopes of Kinder Scout in a rural Peak District setting – you'll need a car to reach local villages and amenities, and the approach roads can be narrow.
If you're travelling with little ones, a high chair and children's dinnerware are available at the castle.

About The Peak District
The Peak District is England and Wales’ oldest national park, and its varied landscapes are a clue as to why the region was the first to be bestowed with the distinction.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
