Nine Ladies

The B&B is a stones throw away from beautiful Stanton Moor, home to this ancient stone circle. Put your boots on and take a short stroll across the fields, to see this archeologically important site.

Haddon Hall

Seen across the valley from the B&B windows - this stunning Medieval Hall is fascinating to look around. You can feel the age and ghostliness of this place as you explore in a half a day. You can easily walk there from the B&B and back again.
