Acorn House is in a beautiful rural location on the edge of the magnificent Chatsworth Estate in the ancient little hamlet of Moorhall,. The house enjoys magnificent views across beautiful Peak District countryside being at the head of the Cordwell Valley.

Acorn House was originally restored back in the 1950's but it has recently been completely renovated and enlarged making it perfect for a hen party, large group holiday or break. Guests can enjoy in a comfortable and relaxing environment, amidst a mixture of antique furniture and tasteful good quality fabrics, furnishings and fittings. Importantly, with large parties, the dining room and living room can comfortably seat all guests.

To make your weekend or party completely relaxing, catering can be provided by The Chequers Inn at Froggatt Edge who offer a full catering service at any level. For your girl's weekend we can also organise a full pampering service at the house. This is provided by 'Perfectly Pampered'.

There is plenty locally to keep everyone amused including excellent walking and cycling routes. There are some delightful walks for all ages and abilities immediately from the doorstep. A short walk through the pretty Rosewood leads to Millthorpe and the Royal Oak pub or for keener walkers there is a lovely walk along White Edge to the Grouse Inn. Acorn House is within easy reach of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, shopping in the old market town of Bakewell or a visit to Alton Towers.
