Holly House, also known as Hollywood House, is a large self-catering group house in Blackbrook near Belper, Derbyshire. Sleeping up to 40 guests across 16 bedrooms, it offers generous indoor and outdoor space for family gatherings, milestone birthdays, retreats, corporate stays and organised group weekends.
The house includes spacious shared areas, flexible dining space, a cinema room, games room, gardens and optional extras including a hot tub, seasonal swim spa and Arctic Cabin. It works well for groups who want space to eat, relax and spend time together in a private countryside setting.
The large conservatory provides flexible space for group dining, meetings, yoga, workshops and approved private dining or hosted activities by prior arrangement.
Holly House is professionally managed and best suited to respectful groups looking for a comfortable private house rather than a nightclub-style party venue. Day guests, caterers, private dining and hosted activities must be agreed in advance and are subject to house rules, quiet hours and neighbour-friendly policies.

The magnificent dining conservatory at Holly House with its own bar can host up to 90 guests! Depending on your needs, this room can be styled to suit retreats, corporate events or as a place to celebrate those special milestone birthdays!

Adjoining the dining area are two spacious living rooms, combining comfort and elegance, allowing guests to retreat for their own relaxation.
The large catering kitchen area is ideal for all your culinary requirements from simply making a quick cuppa before the day starts to the full needs of outside caterers to prepare a banquet to suit your requirements. With two kettles, a toaster, microwave, oven, stove, large fridge and freezer, two dishwashers and quality catering equipment, you have everything you could need to cater for your large group gathering.
The games room with pool table will keep everyone entertained, or why not enjoy a sing along on the karaoke machine, or a chilled movie night in the cinema room.


The outside space at Holly House is equally as special! Leading on from the dining conservatory is a fabulous terrace with far reaching views of the Derbyshire Countryside which can be enjoyed from its stylish outdoor seating.

Guests can also relax in the luxurious 13ft swim spa or unwind in the hot tub while soaking up the sun on the loungers.

Holly House’s enchanting woodlands, adorned with bluebells in the spring, is home to a cosy arctic cabin perfect for keeping cosy in the cooler months and toasting marshmallows whatever the weather!
