The en-suite shower room is both stylish and practical, with a large walk-in shower, a sleek basin built into a spacious vanity unit, and a heated towel rail, offering plenty of space for your toiletries and a calming place to refresh. Outside, the garden welcomes you even before you step through the door. Though not enclosed, it feels wonderfully private, bordered by a rockery and mature planting, with lounge chairs thoughtfully placed for relaxation. It’s an ideal spot for morning coffee or alfresco dining on warmer days, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the stunning Peak District National Park.

Explore the captivating local surroundings near Waterhouses, perhaps beginning by a visit to Thor's Cave, an iconic landmark famed for its spectacular views overlooking the Manifold Valley. For those seeking historical treasures, Chatsworth House simply cannot be missed, with its grand architecture, beautiful gardens, and an impressive art collection, truly offering a glimpse into the life of the landed gentry. Delve into the natural geological wonder of Poole's Cavern, a two-million-year-old limestone cave to marvel at its fascinating stalactites and stalagmites. From the adventurous to the tranquil, Stoney Rock Lodge places you right in the heart of it all.

The village of Waterhouses lies between the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne on the southern fringes of the Peak National Park. The village was once the terminus of the Manifold Valley Light Railway - now the scenic Manifold Cycle Track, which winds its way through the picturesque valleys of the Rivers Hamps and Manifold. The track is flat and traffic free for cyclists, walkers and horse-riders. Waterhouses offers a selection of shops, pubs and places to eat. The famous Alton Towers Theme Park is only a short drive away.
