Uncover Derbyshire’s Best-Kept Secret: Hawthorn Farm Guest House

When planning a visit to the picturesque town of Buxton in Derbyshire , the accommodation choice becomes pivotal to the overall experience. Hawthorn Farm Bed and Breakfast stands out as an ideal place to stay, and here’s why I’m drawn to this charming haven.

A Rich Historical Gem

First and foremost, Hawthorn Farm is steeped in history. As a 16th Century Grade II listed farmhouse, it is one of the oldest buildings in Buxton. The fact that it was originally owned by the Duke of Devonshire adds a layer of historical intrigue. Staying here feels like stepping back in time while enjoying all the modern comforts. Paul and Sarah, the current owners since April 2016, have done a remarkable job of preserving the character and charm of this ancient farmhouse.

Charming Accommodation Options

Hawthorn Farm offers a range of accommodations to suit different needs. With four unique rooms available for guests, two in the main house and two in a beautifully converted barn across the drive, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, the rooms can be configured to accommodate up to four people. Additionally, for those who prefer a bit more independence, there are two self-catering cottages available.
