Haddon Hall - Bakewell

If there were more stars to rate this place I would have given it far more than 5 !! We hesitated ... its £20 even for us oldies. We chuntered about the £3.50 car parking on top of the entrance cost ... then we were bowled over by it all ... worth every penny. An amazing place, medievally preserved, steeped in a life gone by, saved from modernisation, it talks of stories past. Not huge in comparison to some local properties, but oozing atmosphere. Great talks about every hour out in the courtyard. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. We didn't use the restaurant but it looked like a good menu. There are a lot of steps, and very uneven flagstone.. which adds to its character, but care is needed. Rooms are higglety piggerty all over, so check you've seen it all. The chapel is unique. The gardens are a pleasure to walk around. Simply preserved in a time long past.

Absolutely stunning old house with terrace garden. Shame you cant see more of it or walk by the river which is marked private. The wood carving and panelling is beautiful.

This is a fantastic place to visit! The guides, who give brief talks on Mondays, are excellent storytellers and incredibly knowledgeable. I'm fortunate to be a member of Historic Houses, as the entry fee can be quite high. If you’re a resident of Derbyshire, you can enjoy a 30% discount.

The beautifully presented tapestries in the stunning hall, along with a lovely garden and a wonderful café, make for a fantastic visit. The staff is friendly and helpful; however, please be aware that there are many uneven and occasionally steep steps.

We had a wonderful day in the heart of the Peak District at the beautiful Haddon Hall. Although small, it has a cozy atmosphere and offers excellent views along with an intriguing glimpse into this well-known hall. It seems like a fantastic place to visit during Christmas, and the café was nicely presented, serving some delicious cakes!
