Whitehouse Farm was amazing. I went there as a friends reunion with 6 other ladies. As there are 6 bedrooms and huge kitchen and lounge there was plenty of room for us all to relax. The house is well equipped, super clean. comfortable beds and great outdoor space. The location is great with Ashbourne Tissington trail and village, Dove Dale and Hartington all very close by. We had a wonderful time, I would love to return again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere which can accommodate up to 14 people comfortably.

We we're a group of 10 women in our 60s. The downstairs bedroom was great for one of us who needed an onsuite.The lounge was large... a great space for games and chat.The kitchen diner was large enough and well equiped.We we're warm and cosy. The beds and bedding we're good quality and comfortable. The surronding area had gorgeous views.We enjoyed going to Hartington and walking from there.The sunday roast at the Waterloo inn, Biggin, was delicious.
