 | Simon and Gilly Groom enjoy welcoming bed and breakfast guests to their lovely historic home at Dethick, a tiny unspoilt hamlet comprising just three farms and a church. Many say it's a place where time has stood still, yet it is only 15 minutes from the M1, and 2 miles from Matlock, lying in the buffer zone of the Derwent Valley World Heritage site at Cromford and a short drive to the nearby towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne.
Situated at the gateway to the Derbyshire Dales and the Peak District National Park, it's the perfect place to unwind and an ideal touring base. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and many places of historical interest and other popular attractions are close by. Derbyshire is one of the country's
most popular destinations for walkers and ramblers, boasting miles of walking terrain to suit every level or ability. There are wonderful walks directly from the Manor Farmhouse. |
The Manor Farmhouse offers its bed and breakfast guests a wide range of facilities and a high standard of comfortable accommodation where visitors can soak up the ambience of this wonderful house. It's relaxed and informal. Huge stone walls, exposed beams and timbers add to the charm and character. Breakfast is served in the original Elizabethan kitchen, using home produce including our own Gloucestershire Old Spots sausages (when available)and the finest local and organic ingredients. We can cater for all diets.
All our rooms have tv, tea/coffee trays, radio alarms, hair driers. We also provide soap, shampoo, shower gel, tissues and we often add other touches - flowers or seasonal foliage, small dishes of confectionery etc.

 | We have three guest bedrooms all with lovely views, and guests' sitting room.
Our double en-suite room overlooks the side of the house towards the Church. It has a wonderful exposed beam, is decorated with pretty Laura Ashley wallpaper and furnished with painted furniture including a king size bed. The en-suite was totally refurbished in December 2006.
Our twin/double en-suite room boasts a massive 6ft bed or two 3ft beds and a lovely dual aspect with views to the front and rear of the house. It has a mix of furniture - some painted, some pine and some antique. The room was recently completely refurbished and redecorated with a new en-suite with bath and shower.
Lastly, our double room, with a 5ft bed has a light country feel, with painted wood panelling, bright yellow sofa and blue painted wardrobe. This room is not en-suite but it does have a private bathroom (with bath) and there is a wash-handbasin in the bedroom. |
