The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Bat's Belfry. Verbatim.
A perfectly appointed house in a fantastic location. Clean and great for groups and families, we really enjoyed our stay here. “Thanks for a great stay. We thought it was a great property and fab location.
Just wanted to send an email to say thank you so much for providing such a great service at Hurdlow Grange - the accommodation was absolutely perfect - completely spotless and everything we could imagine needing was provided. The team have been brilliant at communication from point of booking, often replying immediately! We have all been really impressed and everyone has said they would love to return.
Lovely venue in a great location. Great place to stay
Lovely house in a quiet location but a short drive from lots of activities. Pub was closed but looks nice and only a 15 min walk . Plan another trip when the pub is open. Thank you for a great stay the property is lovely and the upstairs space is a great family space.
Photos do not do the house justice, the open plan kitchen/diner/lounge was great, perfect location for walking and only a short drive to Bakewell and Buxton. Fantastic value for money and great communication from the host.
This house is lovely! So cosy and warm for a cold winter break. Would highly recommend.
Bats belfry was amazing. Well equipped, comfy and had everything u could need. we'll worth it. Great location. definitely recommend
Lovely place in a great location, with plenty of walking/cycling country and other activities nearby, and a good pub within walking distance. Thanks for a good stay!
I stayed here recently with my girlfriend, toddler, my mum and her partner, we also brought our dogs with us too. The location was stunning, so quiet and although it's not in the middle of nowhere, it felt like it which was amazing, The accommodation was very nice too with gigantic beds, the kitchen was very well equipped which is a rarity these days but very welcome. The Royal Oak down the road (15-20 min walk) is a great pub and the food is great too. Only a couple of minor complaints are. It's great the venue allow dogs but despite having a lovely little garden, there are no gates, so we could never let the dogs out alone and with a toddler, we had to keep chasing him around as he could have easily got out too. As I say these are just minor issues, but I felt like mentioning it because it would have made the stay even more relaxing than it already was. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it to friends.
Great location for a Peak District stay, very close to Bakewell and Buxton and in a quiet area which a brilliant pub down the road (Royal Oak Hurdlow). Good views from the upstairs windows and everything we needed was there for a family 6 person stay for the weekend. Very good communication and easy contactless check in/out.
Great location, easy parking, easy access to lots of activities in the peaks, including being less than 2 miles from the bike hire on the Tissington Trail. Kitchen was well equipped and top floor living space was exceptional. Thanks!!
Bats Belfry was a great holiday stay for our family - the property is definitely out in the countryside but that makes the appeal even more enticing if you want a break in the peaks. Towns were all a short drive and the local pub at the end of the road is fantastic. Communication with peak venues was great too if we needed anything
“Excellent location for cycling and walking the Tissington / Monsal trails. Clean, well thought out accommodation with ample parking and views.”
Beautiful house with a great sociable lay out. beautiful surroundings and lovely pub 15 min walk away

Hurdlow Grange is very pleasant to stay in. The house is in very good repair, very clean and comfortable.. The kitchen is large and well appointed and all appliances were clean and worked well. The pub 'The Royal Oak' nearby is within walking distance and there are lovely walks to be had from the house. The trig point nearby is a nice walk and the climb up gives fabulous views. We really enjoyed our stay and would go again.”

With the Tissington and High Peak Trails close by you can walk for miles along these old railway lines. Both trails meet at Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay, while the High Peak Trail is 17.5 miles longroute from the High Peak junction near Cromford to Dowlow. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for horse riders, cyclists and walkers of all abilities. It is also suitable for wheel chairs and pushchairs along the flat sections and the trail is mainly mud free which is quite rare in the Peak District. To find the nearest access turn left out of Hurdlow Grange and walk up the lane for ½ mile and you will come to a track clearly marked on you right, follow this until you reach the beginning of the trail on the right hand side. The nearest bike hire can be found at Parsley Hay which is 2.5 miles away and is at the junction of the High Peak and Tissington Trails.

No visit to the Peak District would be complete without visiting the fabulous Chatsworth Estate. There really is something to do for every member of the family - The Farmyard and Adventure playground, the magnificent house and the gardens which are equally as impressive as the house , with the maze, the garden trails, and the famous water cascade to keep the little ones occupied.

A great day out for the family with something for everyone to enjoy. Start off with a visit to the famous Danebridge Fisheries, a great place to visit with kids, here you can fish in the well-stocked pool, catch your own supper or feed the trout (food supplied). Then a visit to the Wincle Brewery, where you can even do a one day brewing course! After a trip to the brewery why not call into the Ship Inn, just down the lane where you can sample Wincle’s fine ales in the pretty beer garden. Follow up with finally finishing the day off with a visit to Blaze Farm, a working farm that has become famous for their awarding winning Hilly Billy Ice Cream which is all made on the farm using the milk from their dairy herd. With tea rooms, nature trials and animals to pet there is something for everyone!
The spa town of Buxton can really offer something for everyone; enjoy a stroll around the pretty Pavilion gardens. The kids can enjoy the playground areas or you might chose to go for a swim at the recent refurbished swimming pool. The more adventurous may want to try out ‘Go Ape’ the treetop adventure course, for those without a head for heights a visit to Poole’s Cavern is fascinating, and it’s a great activity especially for kids when the weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities. For theatre lovers, seeing a show in the intimate Buxton Opera House is a must, and for the shopaholics the pretty Cavendish Arcade has a range of lovely little boutique shops. Lovers of real ale will enjoy visiting Buxton Tap House, which is Buxton’s own brewery pub serving its very own ales and bitters.
