Stainsborough Hall
The perfect self-catering accommodation for your next group getaway.
Made for memorable group gatherings, Stainsborough Hall is a stunning manor house set in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales with sweeping views near Carsington Water. This elegant yet relaxed country home offers a rare combination of heritage charm and relaxed comfort.
With space to sleep up to 20 guests, multiple sociable spaces, and a private garden, it's a place made for gathering in comfort and style. The Hall is perfect for large families, multigenerational getaways, groups of friends, milestone celebrations, celebratory weekends, retreat-style getaways or just generally spending time reconnecting with the people who matter most.
Inside, you’ll find sociable spaces for long dinners, cosy corners for quiet conversations, and a sense of grandeur that still feels warm and lived-in. Outside, you’ll discover a beautiful two-acre garden — a haven for games, leisurely strolls, or evening drinks under the stars. A log-fired hot tub offers the ultimate in rural relaxation, while the private tennis court is perfect for friendly matches or working up an appetite before dinner.
Whether you’re cooking up a feast in the spacious kitchen, enjoying drinks by the log fire, or taking in the views from the terrace, playing board games by the fire, or watching the sunset with a glass in hand, every corner of Stainsborough Hall invites you to slow down and savour the moment.
Plan Your Stay
Stainsborough Hall is designed with relaxed, sociable group stays in mind — where elegant interiors meet homely comfort and every detail invites you to slow down and enjoy time together.
At the heart of the house is a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with a large central island, and all the space you need for group cooking and casual breakfasts. The adjoining dining room features a grand table that seats 20 with ease — perfect for celebratory feasts, long lunches or late-night laughter.
The drawing room offers a tranquil spot for unwinding by the fire, while a separate TV lounge provides a cosy space for movie nights or younger guests to escape for some downtime.
Outside, the experience continues in our beautiful large garden, a peaceful haven where you’ll find plenty of space to gather, play or simply breathe in the fresh country air. The garden is ideal for games and afternoon strolls, with secluded spots to sit and read, and a log-fired hot tub that’s perfect for soaking under the stars.
There’s ample parking for around 10 cars, making arrivals and departures easy — and plenty of space indoors and out for your entire group to feel at home.
Stainsborough Hall is perfectly suited to extended families and mixed groups, offering a seamless blend of period charm and modern comfort to ensure a restful stay for everyone. Spread across 3 spacious floors, the Hall features 10 thoughtfully styled bedrooms, designed with both relaxation and flexibility in mind:
* 7 elegant double bedrooms, each with an emperor, king-size, or double bed - including one with an additional single bed
* 3 twin rooms, each with two single beds
All rooms are beautifully furnished with crisp linens, quality mattresses, and calming countryside colours, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of each day. Many bedrooms enjoy lovely views across the gardens or surrounding hills, and the layout balances privacy with sociable spaces, making it easy for everyone to feel at home. For families with younger guests, there's ample space for cots, highchairs, and bed guards, all of which can be provided on request to help little ones settle comfortably.
There are 6 bathrooms in total - a mix of en-suite and shared options - along with 2 additional cloakrooms, so there's no need to queue in the mornings.
The house is cosy year-round, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and traditional radiators upstairs. Log burners in the living areas add warmth and character, creating the perfect setting for curling up with a book or enjoying long evenings of fireside conversation. Whether you're early to bed or up for late-night chats, the layout works beautifully for groups of all kinds.
