This impressive country house sits above the picturesque village of Wildboarclough, with breath-taking views of the Peak District National Park.
Built in 1815 and furnished in a traditional country house style, Crag Hall is the private country home of The Earl and Countess of Derby. Until recently this Crag Hall was used by only close friends and family but now has become available as by exclusive appointment.
The 11 bedroom property sleeps up to 20 guests. It is ideally suited to extended groups of friends and family coming together. For those really wanting to mark an occasion, there is the option of having a Chef cook for the group throughout your stay or for a special evening of fine dining.
Set within beautiful garden of up to 5 acres, the Hall overlooks the magnificent Shuttlingslow (traditional spelling) Hill and surrounding farmland.
Living Accommodation
Charmingly decorated to a very high standard, you will find a delightful drawing room and study with open fires, which you can relax beside. As well as a country style kitchen there is a beautiful dining room that can seat up to 20 people.
In addition, there is an impressive billiard room where hours of fun can be had with all members of the family, young and old.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
There are 11 individually designed bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, 2 of which are ensuite.
The bedrooms have been designed using the best quality fabrics and using the original furniture, giving a warm and homely feel to the property.
Practicalities
