The former farm building was once owned by the Prime Minister Lord Melbourne, to whom Queen Victoria was very close to, and sits adjacent to the owner’s home, Manor Farm, a medieval Grade II listed manor house which dates back to 1553. The Old Stables is one of six dotted around this stunning courtyard setting and has been converted to a good standard throughout. The property offers exposed beams and is full of character, really giving this holiday home a unique feel. Stable doors welcome you into the open plan kitchen and living area, and upstairs there are two bedrooms and a super bathroom complete with a spa bath.
The Old Stables is located in the very heart of the wonderful Derbyshire Peak District National Park and benefits from an elevated position with views that can be enjoyed from the master bedroom stable door. Stunning panoramic views over the countryside and Peak District are just one of the fabulous features of this property.
Over Haddon itself is a lovely village offering visitors excellent walks, a local village pub, an award winning café, and let’s not forget the nearby spectacular limestone Lathkill Dale. It is an ideal position from which to enjoy many of the wonderful attractions Derbyshire has to offer including Bakewell, which can be reached in around 5 minutes, with its independent shops, tea shops, weekly farmers’ market, and of course the Bakewell pudding shop! Nearby is the exceptional Chatsworth House and Gardens, along with medieval manor house Haddon Hall.

Lovely, warm and clean barn conversion. Very spacious kitchen and living room. Did lots of cooking using the range which I loved. Lovely walk across fields into Bakewell. Very near to Lathkill Dale next to the river which is beautiful. There is only one pub in the village and no shop but it does say all of that on the description but just be aware. Joy left a lovely welcome basket

A wonderful cottage, we booked quite late and wish we had booked for longer. Very clean and had everything you could need and more. Our girls loved all the Halloween decorations too. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Stables, it was such a lovely cottage with great location, excellent comfort (bed and bath), fully equiped kitchen, nice and warm in the evenings and even netflix on tv! We had a great time exploring the sights Chatsworth House, Bakewell, Buxton, World of Wedgewood and many other places, it was a gem! We certainly will return for another time from Holland!
