We have just spent a lovely 2 night stay at Parsons. No WiFi (by choice) the owners were absolutely lovely and after a long night for me being poorly after eating out they couldn't be more accommodating to make sure I was OK and had what I needed. Can't thank you both enough for everything. It's definitely what we needed

What an amazing, chilled place to stay! Just 2 rooms, beautifully decorated, with lots of little extra touches to make your stay easy and comfortable. David is a great host, making sure you have everything you need, cups of tea offered whenever you come in - even left outside your door in the morning before breakfast, which by the way is plentiful and cooked to perfection. Really loved staying here.

Fabulous stay. Scrummy breakfast. Choice of whatever combination of cooked bits you wanted. Lovely toast. Homemade quince jam! Breakfast trifle (healthy!) yumyumyum! Felt so looked after. David was so thoughtful & caring & hospitable. Pot of tea on arrival (with biccies!) & fresh coffee brought to your door before breakfast. Definitely recommend if you want that real homely experience. Hartington is a best village, so B&B is great location for walks. But what makes it special is how you are looked after! (Rooms are lovely, comfy, clean & quirky!) Thanks David. You made our stay so special & memorable.Tina & Paul

David is lovely. And love his home. He is super friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is delicious- compote, cooked breakfast- so good.
David is very close to both pubs. Bookings are essential! The Devonshire was very tasty but be prepared to wait, even when booked. I feel for the pubs- short staffed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break at Parsons House. It’s in an excellent location for exploring the area (some fabulous walks on the doorstep ). David is an exceptional host offering tea and coffee when ever you want it. The breakfast was tremendous. Very comfortable accommodation.

Amazing B&B. David was a great host and provided us with a tea/coffee tray before breakfast and in the afternoon. Beautifully decorated room and the best breakfast we’ve ever had at a B&B. Would recommend anyone to stay there for a great base for the Peak District (Dovedale walk starts right opposite the B&B)

We stayed at parsons for three nights in the white room. We cant get over it! David’s hospitality and care for what he does is amazing. So many options for breakfast yet the breakfast trifle and scrambled eggs are so good I had them everyday. Thoughtful touches like a teapot of tea delivered to your door every morning and a daily room clean. Never experienced such a great stay away from home. Better than any hotel I’ve been to.

This beautiful BnB in Hartington is a breath of fresh air! David is an interesting and knowledgeable host along with his wife.We were welcomed with a pot of tea and shortbread, and Maud the cat. Tea was made freshly on request (rather than being in the room), and David would deliver a fresh pot in the morning to wake up to before getting ready for the incredible breakfast!The home is beautiful and unique, with exposed pipes, burners, lovely woodwork and pictures. We stayed downstairs and I slept like a log in the large, long comfortable bed. The BnB is comfortably warm. The bath in our room is short for a tall couple, but adequate to soak up the strains of a serious bike ride around and over the hills. It's refreshing to have access to a bath in a BnB! There are no TV in the room, but WiFi is provided.At this BnB it was the anticipation of the host that made it so special. Will definatley be back!Strongly recommend a visit to the pub opposite for dinner, buying some cheese in the local shop and grabbing a hot drink from the cafe/farm shop opposite.

Parsons House is a wonderful, relaxing retreat in the charming village countryside of Hartington in the Derbyshire Peak District. Mine host David is a gentleman and a scholar, fine chef and raconteur. The house is beautiful and I recommend a stay 👌.
