Church House

About this property

Church House is an utterly wonderful conversion of a little church to create what must be one of the best holiday retreats in the Peak District. Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Tideswell it provides lots of spacious, quality accommodation with fantastic features like the tall ceilings, arched windows and glass staircase. Combine this with the quality decoration, furnishing and drapes to make a really incredible place.

Tideswell as a village is just as good. It's a 'proper' village with lots of little shops, three pubs, cafes, a restaurant and even a 'chippy'. Wander down the lane into the centre and feel part of local life. Explore the quiet alleyways, set off along the numerous footpaths into the surrounding countryside or take your bikes across the tops on one of the fantastic trails.

With even wider horizons there are lots more holiday attractions. It's got to be Chatsworth House, Bakewell's Monday market and Victorian Buxton. But some of our local favourites include Monsal Dale's dramatic gorge, Calver Edge's breathtaking views, Peak Rail's steam trains, Crich's tramway and Carsington's wild watersports. After a hard day have the last glass of an evening in the peace and quiet of the landscaped garden!
