Beautiful and tranquil accomodation in an elegant listed Georgian counrtry house in the historic village of Eyam set in the magnificent Peak National Park. In Eyam, one of the most historically interesting villages of the beautiful Peak District National Park, partially hidden from view since its frontage is turned away from the main street, lies a fine late Georgian house built in the classical style of dressed ashlar stone which has since mellowed into gentle and varying hues. On arrival you are welcomed in the drawing room where tea (or coffee, as you prefer) is served and where you can relax after a long journey or an energetic day. Here there are plenty of books to browse through and many guides to the area around Eyam and the Peak National Park. This room with its restful blues, its views across the garden, and its silence away from television and radio, is reserved for the use of guests, where you can read, chat or play games. On the first floor, we have three bedrooms which are quite different in character from each other. The Four Poster Bedroom, which faces south overlooking the garden and the Delf, is a beautifully spacious room with an air of tranquillity. The bathroom for this bedroom is adjacent to it, and is shared by one other guest bedroom. The focus of the Twin-bedded Bedroom is a pair of fascinating eighteenth century French beds with their baroque headboards and exuberant paintings. The clear yellow, gold and white theme emphasises the spaciousness of the room to which the ensuite shower and toilet is an unobtrusive addition (the aim of any change in a listed house!). In the Seventeenth Century part of the house is the Brass Bedroom with its Regency brass double bed. The window of this bedroom looks out onto the village and faces the Church and the famous Plague Cottages. This bedroom is provided with a washbasin and an adjacent toilet while it shares a bath with one other guest bedroom. All the bedrooms have colour remote control television and hospitality trays, white cotton bed linen and non-allergic pillows. For guests staying five days or more, we have laundry facilities on request. All bedrooms have mains cold water which is drinkable. With its stone flagged floor, huge old ships' beams (re-cycling has always been practised!), the dramatic fireplace with its massive stone overmantle, and the arched iron studded fourteenth century church door, the Dining Room is a wonderful for place for a Derbyshire breakfast. Guests sit round the oval table and are happy to chat and exchange information about the best walks or historic haunts. The eighteenth century window overlooks a small paved courtyard, decorated with planted containers and enclosed by stone outbuildings that are reputedly of pre-plague period! Our breakfast menu consists of: pure orange juice a selection of cereals, including wholewheat muesli, porridge (on request), Bacon, sausages, mushrooms tossed in butter, herbed tomatoes fried, poached, scrambled or boiled eggs white or wholemeal toast & a selection of fine marmalades, conserves, and chutneys a selection of seasonal fresh fruit tea, (fruit teas on request), filter, espresso or cafetiere coffee (decaffeinated coffee can be served on request), hot chocolate. We use local free-range eggs, locally grown tomatoes in season, sausages and bacon from our local supplier as well as from the Chatsworth Estate Farm shop, herbs from our garden, bread baked in our local bakery, Derbyshire honey and fine conserves and marmalades. Delf View is conveniently situated in the centre of the historic village of Eyam, which is famous for the heroism of its inhabitants during the outbreak of the Plague in 1665. Led by their rector, Mompesson, they isolated themselves within the village, thus successfully preventing the spreading of the plague to surrounding villages. The now legendary event attracts many visitors to this beautiful village in a designated conservation area in the Peak National Park. The house overlooks Eyam Delf where Mompesson held services in the natural rock formation (which is part of a collapsed cave) called the Cucklet Church. Our croquet lawn and the tree lined lower lawn offer excellent views of the Delf. Rates : £43 to £45 per person per night. Children over 12 are welcome. No smoking. Sorry, no pets.
