Church Villa B & B

Hilary and Graham were very welcoming hosts in their beautiful 16th century cottage. We enjoyed the lovely log fire at the end of a wet and windswept day! Hilary and Graham were able to give us plenty of tailored advice about where to eat and visit. The rooms were well equipped and comfortable with lovely attention to detail. We all really enjoyed the excellent breakfast which has a wide range of options.

What a gem! As a solo traveller I was delighted by the warm welcome and attention to detail of the hosts. there is a wonderful lounge with a terrific log fire and the breakfast offering is impressive and beautifully served. The house is quiet and very comfortable. It is in a beautiful location and so close to the motorway and local attractions. I can't recommend it highly enough!

We had the most wonderful visit here at Church Lane! The building is a few centuries old and has been expertly renovated with modern conveniences without sacrificing the historic ambiance - no small feat. Breakast is made to order and the homemade bread was really yummy. Graham and Hilary were more like family than innkeepers and Hilary has excellent knowledge of historic sites along with local sites you might miss otherwise. The garden is delightful. Good WiFi, water pressure and access to Haddon Hall, Chatsworth and the Peak District.

I must say I was impressed with the welcome and morning company. Really nice place to stay. Breakfast was lovely. Coffee so quiet, lovely fire to, I stay in a lot of hotels and have done for over 15 years, so I changed over to a B&B for a change. It was ideal they were very accommodating if I needed anything rub the lamp and it was done. Lovely people lovely place to get your head down. The fire 🔥 perfect. If they had a mini log burner in the conservatory I would happily bring my wife with a bottle or two and spend the weekend if it was snowing even better and trust me the owners would try to accommodate. What would finish this off is a log burning wood barrel hot tub in the garden. Romantic weekend away for couples. Has so much to offer the garden is incredible. Fell in love with the property. But mind your head these properties do have some features from the past. But that’s what makes them special. Something human about this place, made me feel normal.

Having stayed at ‘chain hotels’ during our road trip it was a breath of fresh air to stay at such a cozy and friendly B&B . From our Arrival Hilary and Graham were welcoming with a hot drink and a warm open fire. We were shown to our room which was full of character , we immediately knew we’d have a pleasant stay Hilary was very helpful in finding us somewhere for our evening meal which was a great choice. The next day we had breakfast which was outstanding , eggs Benedict for me and full English for my partner . It was served in the conservatory which looked over the beautiful Garden . I can highly recommend a stay Church Villa .

Lovely old property and a very warm welcome, in a lovely part of the world. I was visited Frasers Group Head Office over in Shirebrook but knew someone in Chesterfield and this was a great location for both. The welcome was super friendly with tea and a chat on arrival. Very well maintained property and super hospitality. Thanks.
