Cleanliness

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. There are a few mentions of minor issues, such as stained carpets, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of a clean and well-maintained property.

Facilities

Facilities like the hot tub, pool table, and darts board are popular among guests. However, there are comments about the kitchen size and appliance capacity being inadequate for large groups, as well as minor maintenance issues. Despite this, the range of amenities is appreciated.

About this property

Resting at the heart of Chapel-en-le-Frith, a market town in Derbyshire on the fringes of the Peak District National Park is The Old Bulls Head. The former pub has been thoughtfully renovated into a wonderful holiday home with a stylish interior that pays homage to the building’s history through exposed brick and beams, stone fireplaces and Victorian tile, the perfect setting for a large family gathering. After exploring the wealth of surrounding attractions, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and make your way into the kitchen adorned with blue subway tiles and all the appliances to whip up tasty meals for the whole family. Gather around the table in the dining room to tuck in before branching off to take advantage of the house’s amenities; turn the table into the snooker table for evenings full of competitive fun or head outside to delight in a soothing soak in the hot tub, an idyllic place to watch the sun set. When yawning begins, catch your rest in any of the six bedrooms; travel to the first floor to choose from a double with en-suite shower room, a double or a twin, or continue to the second floor to find a king-size, a double and a twin all serviced by a bathroom, shower room and cloakroom. The Old Bulls Head lies paces away from local shops where you can stock up on necessities and pubs including The Kings Arms and The Royal Bar and Grill, both perfect for the nights when you don’t fancy cooking. Venture to the historic town of Buxton to tour Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, Buxton Park, and Poole’s Cavern where you can marvel at a network of underground limestone caves. Travel into the Peak District National Park, where outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element with the myriad of walks, trails and cycling opportunities available such as Hope Valley, Monsal Head and Parkhouse Hill which all reward guests with breath-taking, panoramic views across England. Make unforgettable memories with the whole family at The Old Bulls Head.

With its cobblestone market, historic old stocks, and Eccles Pike, a gritstone hill that becomes pink at the summit and offers expansive 360-degree views, Chapel-en-le-Frith is referred to as the Capital of the Peak. The well-known spa town of Buxton is only seven miles away; in addition to its healing spring water, it is also well-known for its magnificent Victorian Opera House, Pavillion Gardens, and a number of shows that draw tourists from all over the world. Numerous sights, including magnificent homes like Chatsworth House and Lyme Hall, are only a short drive away. The Devil's Arse, Blue John, and Speedwell caverns are famed in Castleton and the Goyt Valley. On the western side of the Peak District National Park, in a magnificent rural environment, is the charming small village of Chinley. It is well-liked by walkers who are drawn to the routes across the dramatic Cracken Edge that connect to Kinder Scout, Edale, South Head, Mount Famine, and Chinley Churn. With the village's assortment of pubs serving award-winning ales, cafes, and restaurants, visitors are well-served. After hiking Combs Moss and Castle Naze, visitors can enjoy a supper at the country tavern in the tranquil village of Combs, which takes pleasure in serving food made with high-quality ingredients. On the northern border of the Peak District National Park, in a lovely rural environment, is the charming High Peak village of Hayfield. It's a quiet small village that attracts many walkers because to Kinder Scout's close proximity. Families (and those who prefer more leisurely strolls) travel west along the lovely Sett Valley Trail in the direction of New Mills, while serious hikers travel east out of the village up and over the green foothills to the russet expanse of the Kinder Plateau, Pennine Way, and Snake Path. Only a few miles separate you from Edale, another starting point for the Pennine Way.
