Mercia House, Hope Valley

Mercia House is a large self-catering property in the Hope Valley, Derbyshire, sitting inside the Peak District National Park. Sleeping eight guests, it is one of the more spacious options in this part of the Peak District. The hot tub is a genuine highlight perfect for unwinding after a day on the hills.

The Hope Valley is surrounded by moorland, limestone dales and stone villages. Castleton is less than two miles away. The area is well-connected by road and rail, making it straightforward for groups travelling from different directions.

The property sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms, including three king-size bedrooms and one zip-and-link super-king bedroom convertible to twins upon request. There are four bathrooms, a large open-plan kitchen and dining area and spacious living rooms giving the group room to gather together comfortably.

Castleton's show caves are minutes away. Chatsworth House is 12 miles (25 minutes). Stanage Edge is 8 miles (20 minutes). Ladybower Reservoir is 7 miles (15 minutes).

Mercia House suits groups wanting Peak District access with a hot tub on the doorstep. Few properties in this valley match it for size and location combined.
