In our guests' words... "We recently spent 5 nights at Haddon House Farm B&B and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. To begin, the location is convenient for visiting many historic sights in the area (Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall among them) and is only minutes from the High Street in the lovely village of Bakewell. Many great places to eat and shop there. Lots of things to see and do within a short drive from Haddon House Farm. Marilyn & Bill are wonderful hosts and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our room (the Monet Room) was quite nicely furnished with a particularly comfortable bed. Breakfasts were wonderful and featured a full English breakfast. Delicious! This is a working farm and there are lovely walking paths around the property as well as incredibly scenic walking paths and trails nearby. Marilyn & Bill know the area well and are eager to make suggestions regarding things to see and do. The Peak District is one of the most beautiful corners of England and I would highly recommend Haddon House Farm B&B as a place to stay when you visit." Keith & John, North Carolina, USA, 16th September, 2012 "This was our second trip to Haddon House Farm and it certainly will not be our last. Staying with Marilyn & Bill is a treat as you really do feel made welcome to share their home. It feels like a home away from home and nothing ever seems too much trouble. Breakfast is a real treat and kept us going until well into the afternoon. Fresh fruit, cereals, juices, full English cooked breakfast, toast, conserves, tea and coffee all beautifully presented. The rooms are extremely comfortable and spacious with every consideration given to your needs. This really is a lovely retreat with so many inspiring places to visit nearby which Marilyn & Bill will happily talk to you about should you have any queries. You get a very warm welcome in a private home and we were lucky to meet some lovely people during our stay which was an added bonus." Helen, August 31, 2012 "A very relaxing and pleasant stay. Thank you for your superb hospitality". Kate & Howard Nash, Derbyshire, 29/4/2012 "A lovely charming place. Very home-like." Delores Markin, East Meadows, N.Y.
