“An absolute gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

What a fantastic place to stay! Absolutely everything you could wish for to make a very special break. The rooms are beautifully clean and comfortable with the best attention to detail. The farmhouse is absolutely wonderful and retains the charm of years gone by. Our every need and comfort was catered for by an extremely attentive and considerate hostess in Christine.
She offered a superb choice for breakfast and managed to satisfy the big appetites of a builder and a soldier.That takes some doing! A beautiful B & B, a lovely host and gorgeous surrounding countryside. We couldn't have asked for more. What a treat for my husbands birthday.

“Fantastic B&B, perfect setting for our Engagement!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

A warm, welcoming and beautiful little b&b in a rustic town amidst the gorgeous peaks and dales of Derbyshire. The house was traditional and cosy, and it still had all the modern comfort and facilities you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The hostess couldn't have been nicer, she gave a family feeling to our hotel stay, still leaving us our privacy. And talk about a bed and Breakfast; the morning meals were huge and hearty, made in true English fashion.
We got engaged in the lovely Castle Hill Farm House and shall never forget our stay there.
Thank you so much Christine!!!
Best Wishes,
Josh & Kaisa

“A wonderful weekend break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Castle Hill Farm House, Bakewell. Not only is the accommodation immaculately presented and maintained, the proprietor was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We arrived on Friday afternoon and were welcomed into the house, shown our delightful room and offered tea and cake. We found everything we could possibly need in our room where the attention to detail was second to none - Christine, the proprietor, noticed we had a laptop with us and pointed out the details for the WI-FI connection. This is just one example of how well thought out the facilities and information available to guests are at this lovely guest house. We were offered a choice of breakfast options, we tried two between us and all were absolutely delicious. We felt entirely at home during our stay and the location was perfect, within short walking distance from Bakewell. Upon leaving I was given a beautiful home made potpourri gift of lavender from the garden at Castle Hill, another example of the thoughtfulness and extremely friendly nature of the proprietor. Thank you Christine for giving us such a lovely experience this weekend.

“Fantastic host”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

I found this B + B on Tripadvisor and it looked just what I wanted for a last-minute birthday treat for my husband. I phoned at short notice and was lucky enough to get a room - friendly, professional host. When I let family know we's be away they said they'd aranged a surprise evening for us! We had to cancel, and Christine could not have been more understanding. We got a highly favourable impression of the service and were sorry we couldn't stay, but will look forward to a visit in the future. I felt really bad about cancelling, but Christine was so kind.

“Would take this over a hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

This place was absolutely adorable. Christine is a great, she was friendly, helpful, but never intruding. She is also a great cook, breakfasts are plentiful and delicious. We ate so much at breakfast we didn't have to eat again until well into late afternooon. There are lots of brochures in the dining rooom regarding the area. You can plan your day while waiting for breakfast. Because the weather was so unseasonably warm when we arrived we were served tea in the back yard (or should I be saying back garden?) and we were even able to eat our take away dinner out there in the evening.

The beds are comfy, the rooms are big enough (if you have more then one large suitcase it may feel a bit cramped) and while we weren't lucky enough to get the bathroom with the tub, ours was still nice and clean. There is free wifi (look in one of the drawers for the instruction card, when we questioned Christine about she let it be known that she has no idea when it comes to computers), and there are snacks and tea in your room. The view from the room looks right out into the field across the street where there are sheep and cows sometimes wandering about.

The town is a very short walk away, which is a godsend when you are suffering jet lag and you're slowly nodding off while doing a quiz down at the pub.

When we left she gave us scones with butter because we had missed tea the day before and a satchel of lavendar for me.

I'm so glad we ended up at Castle Hill Farm House. It was my first time in the Peak District and if I ever go back I'll want to stay here. Even my boyfriend who's been in the Peak District countless times agree.
