Our Grounds
There is access to our orchard where there are two brick built BBQs, patio, grass lawn, swings and trampoline. Hammocks and additional furniture, boules (petanque), rounders (jacques) bats and footballs are available on request.
Work is in progress for a dry stone wall terrace area which we hope to complete in the near future (weather permitting). This will add a further garden dimension for our guests to enjoy. At the moment we are toying with the difficulties in growing a camomile lawn here – we’ll see.
Visitors are welcome to ramble across our fields, although there are lots of great walks in the immediate vicinity either down by the river, along quiet lanes or a stroll around Snelston conservation village.
For those wishing to go further afield, there is an extensive selection of guide books for your perusal. If you have forgotten the wellies, we have a modest ‘welly bank’ which you are free to use. Cycles are also available (nominal £5 per day, fully serviced) and can be secured with a refundable damage deposit. Please note that we do not supply adult safety helmets and recommend you bring your own.
The less energetic of our guests may simply wish for a pleasant picnic at Monsal Head, or a romantic glass of bubbly by the bridge at Chatsworth House; in which case, Oldfields can provide an array of differing basketware and picnic sets for such ventures. Please let us know.
A Passion for Perfection!!
