“I couldn't recommend this holiday home highly enough.”

It is comfortable and spacious and the owner, Alan, could not do enough for us. He made us feel extremely welcome. And it is in a perfect location in Castleton, close to all the pubs and shops. We will be returning.

“Lovely stay”

House perfect location in Castleton. Short walk into village and shops and Ye Olde Cheddar Cheese pub almost opposite where we had Sunday lunch with so much meat!. Lovely walk over fields and into Hope. Plenty of outdoor clothing shops and some lovely jewellery shops. Peak Caverns well worth a visit. The house itself is really nice. 4 good sized bedrooms and the shared 'Jack and Jill' didn't present a problem. We'll equipped kitchen / diner and good sized lounge. Nice views from kitchen. Only reason 4 stars is because there was a cold draft through skylight window in top floor bedroom.

“Luxurious house in in a fantastic surrounding!”

Talbot house is run by a very nice and helpful couple. A special thank you for the tip about the"secret", narrow road up and down the valley! Castleton itself has got many great attractions that kept our family with five children in the age 8-24 occupied a whole week. Walks in the mountains, a roadtrip around the valleys, a trip to Manchester, the castle, the caves and 6 genuine pubs with good selections of real ales!

“Perfect Pet Friendly home in centre of Peak District”

My wife, Clumber Sam, Mongrel Meg and I stayed at Talbot House for 2 weeks in March 2017 and the property was as described, it was both welcoming and cosy. Alan the owner lives next door and he made us very welcome with his friendly manner, he called once to make sure we were settled in and that if we required anything we just had to let him know. Other than occasionally seeing him in passing we were left alone but knowing he was close at hand should anything have gone wrong was a bonus. We would highly recommend a stay at Talbot House. The house is ideally situated in the village and all amenities are within walking distance, these include six bar/ restaurants, cafes and shops. You can also walk to Speedwell Cavern, Peak Cavern and Peveril Castle which Clumber Sam has also reviewed. Thank You Alan for a wonderful stay.

“Great property, well equipped, clean, lovely location.”

Alan was a superb host and did a special clean at a busy time because of one of our guest's allergies.

“I can't rate this cottage highly enough.”

Fantastic location and beautiful house. Thoughtful touches like fresh milk and prosecco left for us. Owners are very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Had a great week in Talbot House, helped by fantastic weather.”

The house is very comfortable and warm. Alan, the host was next door and very friendly and helpful. The location is superb - right in the middle of Castleton so no need to use the car as you can do lots of walks from the front door. Including to several pubs! Lovely comfy sitting room and nice big kitchen with a large table for group meals. Excellent dishwasher but the house could probable benefit from a few more mugs. Not a criticism, just a suggestion. Lovely clean, soft white bedding and large towels. When we did use the car we went up to Ladybower reservoir which is about 6 miles away and there are several fantastic walks from the visitor centre. Great rental property. We will certainly book again.

“A lovely week”

Talbot house is modern and well equipped. It is in a good location in Castleton. It is within walking distance of the whole village which includes about one pub for every 20 people that live there, a small store, tea room, blue John gift shops and a fantastic bakery. The nearest supermarket is Morrissons in Chapel en le Frith, about 6 miles away. There is also a lovely Indian takeaway called the curry cabin about 1.5 miles away that delivers. We were greeted shortly after arriving by the owner Alan. He is extremely friendly and put himself at our disposal straight away. The house is over three floors as per the information write up with a fantastic kitchen, a cosy front room with large screen TV and wifi. There is parking front and back on a first come first served basis. Overall we found Talbot House excellent value for money, very clean, modern, decorated and furnished to a high standard and would consider returning if we Holidayed in the area again.

The property

This beautiful townhouse is in the centre of Castleton in the Peak District National Park.

The owners run the adjoining B&B and their expertise in providing a comfortable stay shows in the level of finish at this lovely cottage.

Set over three floors, the top floor features a king-size and twin bedroom sharing access to a large Jack-and-Jill shower room.

The first floor has a king-size double bedroom and a double room, each with an en-suite shower room.

All four bedrooms have a TV, though you may prefer to view the stunning scenery from the windows instead.

The very spacious, open plan kitchen/dining room is extremely well equipped with a split oven and induction hob.

The dining area is a great place for a dinner party or a hearty breakfast while your group plans the next day’s adventure, inspired by the uninterrupted views of Mam Tor and the hills of the stunning Hope Valley.

The tastefully-appointed sitting room is comfortable, light and airy and the patio to the rear is a great place for alfresco dining with a breathtaking backdrop.

Stroll just ten minutes from the cottage and you are faced with many activities such as exploring a castle, taking a boat trip 450 metres underground, or just enjoying some of the many shops, cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.

Venture a little further to the hills and you find yourself in walking, cycling, birdwatching, paragliding, rock climbing and caving heaven.

A great place to stay to suit all tastes and seasons.
