An elegant sanctuary in the heart of
the Peak District
Anna and Ian are your hosts at The Hollow Bed & Breakfast.
Our rooms have a well-equipped service tray and fridge, with a coffee machine and snacks available on the landing. Homemade cake is available every afternoon. During the warmer months guests can enjoy the large garden, a place to relax and read or just simply listen to the sounds of wildlife and our flock of hens. When the weather turns cooler the log burner is always glowing keeping the house nice and warm.
Breakfast
The Breakfast Room hosts our morning dining experience, but we sometimes move to our cosy Hall during the winter months. Our 'Full Hollow' is a favourite with guests, featuring the traditional Derbyshire oatcake and tomatoes from our greenhouse, when in season. Bacon, sausage and black pudding is sourced from the local butcher in Bakewell. Our ‘Veggie Hollow’ is also a firm favourite with greens from the veg plot and grilled Halloumi. We also offer a variety of fish too. Homemade bread and preserves complement our tasty breakfasts. All dietary requirements are catered for.

Out and about
The limestone White Peak has a myriad of beautiful walking and cycling routes through deep gorges and along crystal clear rivers. In comparison, the Dark Peak is a brooding landscape of gritstone and peat moorland. The home to Kinder Scout and the start of the Pennine Way. From gentle strolls through pretty meadows to some of the most challenging rock climbing in the country, the Peak District National Park has everything to offer the outdoor enthusiast.
