Florence Nightingale Suites at Lea Hurst

Olga A place that inspires!!! I spent one night here in June with my family (my daughter is 17, my mother is 67), and I must say that one day wasn't enough for us to enjoy this unforgettable place. It's a truly beautiful, historic place where you can immerse yourself in the 1800s. Everything was perfect: the location, the house itself, the cleanliness of the room, the softness of the mattresses and pillows, the breakfast, and the hospitality of Svetlana, who manages the house. You simply have to come here, and you won't want to leave. The only slight drawback is the cool water in the shower (although it did invigorate me a bit in the morning). I highly recommend the Nightingale Suite at Lea Hurst for a relaxing stay and a visit!!!!

Svitlana was a wonderful host, very knowledgeable about The Crimean War and she gave us a really insightful tour around the house that was the childhood home of Florence Nightingale. Food was delicious, beautiful full English breakfast in the morning. My partner and I’s bedroom was tidy and very clean. The garden was peaceful, elegant, and well maintained. I have nothing negative to say, it was certainly a beautiful and well needed break in the countryside, in a property rich with British history. -Jack

It was most beautiful experience ever! Friendly people, cozy home, amazing views. Everything was authentic from afternoon tea to furniture. I slept as a child ❤️ and rest as a queen 😍

Has to be seen to be believed. A real rare gem of a place ,if you enjoy the away from it all.experience.

The house has many artifacts related to Florence Nightingale, who founded the nursing service, as well as artifacts related to the Crimean War. It will be interesting for those who like to directly touch history. We were with the family to celebrate our daughter's birthday. There are Michelin-starred restaurants around. The place is worth a detour from the M1 and a feel of real England

I highly recommend this fabulous place, as I personally celebrated New Year's with the manager. It's a very welcoming, warm family home where you're always greeted with love.

Lea Hurst is a fantastic place to stay , Quiet and secluded. The house is beautifully restored and the room was superb good views over the countryside,, Jen was a superb host and made us feel welcome in her home. Excellent breakfast and the canal path only 5 minutes walk through the garden. Good location for visiting all of the Peak District. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return

Beautiful place and nice staffs

A beautiful house, that comes into view as you drive through the 2nd electric gate. The owners have spent time & money to restore the property & give the interior a snapshot of what it would have been like in Florence Nightingales time of living here. The antique furniture is as good as some national trust houses & the memorabilia of Florence & the Crimea war is in most rooms. Peter and his family are very welcoming, the whole experience of staying is peaceful & you can sit in the sitting room with the log fire crackling away & keeping you warm, breakfast is served in this room on an antique Sutherland table overlooking the rear garden & fields stretching into the distance, you can at times see fallow deer & other wildlife. The bedrooms are well equipped with coffee and tea, tv, cd/radio thick towel robes, bathroom with shower, basin & toilet. A good base to visit Cromford, Matlock bath & Matlock. Plenty of local choices for eating and drinking out in the evening.
