Relax in the comfortable, friendly atmosphere of Biggin Hall,
amidst the enchanting Derbyshire Peak District.
  Biggin Hall is an historic house of 17th century origin, centrally situated in the Peak District National Park, in peaceful open countryside, 1,000 feet above sea level.   Insomniacs and asthma sufferers have commented on the beneficial effects of the Biggin air.  The diverse nature of the Derbyshire landscape with its dry-stone walling, deep wooden valleys, heather clad moorlands, timeless market towns and villages, provides the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday.

  Biggin Hall stands in its own spacious grounds of eight acres and is a protected building of historic interest, Grade II* listed.  The present owners have completely renovated it, in keeping with its original character.  Many of the stone mullioned leaded windows have only recently seen daylight again after their obliteration during the window taxes of the 1790's.

  Visitors have a choice of two sitting rooms, one with a library, the other with a large open fireplace, and there is a separate dining room.  There is a public phone box, (Hartington 84547), exclusively for the use of guests.

The Apartments
  30 yards from the main house is a recently converted 18th century stone building, comprised of five self-contained 'Studio' apartments and one two-bedroomed suite, each with private bathrooms.  They have many amenities, such as color T.V., silent fridge and tea making facilities.  Guests have the use of all the facilities of the main house.

The Bothy
  The bothy is situated between the apartments and the main house; rooms have the same amenities as the apartments.

Traditional Farmhouse Cooking
  Dinner, served at 7:00 p.m., is one of the highlights of your stay, when the open fire, excellent food, and a good selection of wines, all combine to create a convivial atmosphere for an enjoyable meal.  Many guests return year after year to sample the delights of our traditional home cooking.  Much of the food is of local origin with the accent on free range whole foods and natural flavors, together with a seasonal selection of vegetables.  Meals are imaginatively planned and freshly cooked.   The menus, which feature a set main course with vegetarian alternative, are changed daily to give a wide variety of traditional farmhouse fare through the week.  We are happy to assist with any special dietary requests, given prior notice.

Breakfast
  A continental breakfast is served in the dining room between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.  If preferred, an English breakfast or kipper, when available, can be ordered at a small supplementary cost.
  Continental breakfast includes a choice from:  A very extensive variety of cereals, brans, prunes, muesli, and dried tropical fruits, (porridge in Winter), orange and grapefruit juice.  Homemade brioches and croissants, jams, marmalades and honey, toast, tea, coffee or hot chocolate are also available.
Enjoy a budget winter break
  Biggin Hall can offer a high standard of accommodation at seasonal bargain prices.  The beauty of the Derbyshire Peak District National Park with its spectacular limestone gritstone terrain has a special appeal in the Autumn and Winter seasons!  A favorite haunt for lovers of the outdoors, offering gentle rambles by quiet rivers or more demanding walks over the fells and cycling on traffic-free trails.  There is always plenty to see and visit - notably the traditional market towns of Buxton, Ashbourne and Bakewell.
