Quarnford Lodge is a stunning country house that sleeps up to 28 people, in ensuite bedrooms, set amidst the most beautiful scenery in the heart of the Peak District National Park.
What makes Quarnford Lodge so special is that, unlike other Peak District accommodation for groups, they know that the key to a good venue is keeping everyone together. Quarnford Lodge allows your group to stay under one roof and dine around one table – perfect for the most memorable get-togethers. Groups with children can relax in the knowledge that the kids are safely tucked in upstairs, and carry on with the celebrations downstairs.
Quarnford Lodge has 10 comfortable bedrooms, 4 of which can sleep four people. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.
Three of the bedrooms at Quarnford Lodge are on the ground floor and the entire downstairs area is on a single level, making the property accessible for wheelchair-users and the less mobile.
The communal living area includes an impressive vaulted dining room, complete with chandelier and minstrels’ gallery, with comfortable seating for up to 28 guests around a single table. The dining room also has a central wood-burning stove for added cosiness.
There are two lounges to relax in. The first has comfortable sofas and a double-sided wood-burning stove to laze around. It also has a 55” smart TV, as well as a Karaoke machine, for those who dare! The second lounge, “the Snug”, has a further TV and plenty more sofas, perfect for providing younger members of the group with their own space.
The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking up a feast! The high quality appliances include two Siemens ovens, two hobs, two dishwashers, an American-style fridge freezer and a separate larder fridge. There’s no shortage of cupboard space either, and you’ll find all the crockery, glassware, and pots and pans to make group catering a pleasure. If cooking isn’t on your agenda, however, your hosts can provide excellent recommendations for caterers.
In addition to the two lounges, there is also an adjacent room with pool table, so there is plenty of space and fun things to do, to keep the whole group entertained.
Outside, you’ll find a secure patio area with picnic benches and an area with artificial grass mini golf course – perfect for enjoying the Peak District fresh air. Quarnford Lodge has parking for 15 cars.
Quarnford Lodge is located in the heart of the Peak District National Park near to the village of Flash, the highest village in England. It is surrounded by stunning countryside and you’ll find plenty of great walks that go right from the doorstep, including a walk to the popular site of Three Shire Heads, where the counties of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire meet at a series of waterfalls.
At Quarnford Lodge you’ll find plenty of peace and quiet – the nearest neighbour is a farm 100 metres away – although there are two pubs within a mile for easy dining options. The elegant spa town of Buxton is less than 10 minutes away by car. Alton Towers is also within easy reach, as are the magnificent country house estates of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall.
Quarnford Lodge is the perfect venue for your corporate event, whether it’s a business meeting or team-building day. Much more personal than a hotel, the informal setting of a shared house, combined with the secluded location, means that groups can really focus on the all-important business agenda, and the equally important socialising afterwards!
There’s a large meeting/dining room that can seat up to 28 people around a single table on comfortable, solid oak chairs. There are also two further breakout areas with comfortable leather sofas and HDMI TVs for smaller groups to convene away from the main meeting area. Finally, there is a patio area with picnic benches for al fresco conferences when the sun is shining. There’s wifi throughout and your hosts can provide flipcharts and a projector screen in the main meeting room (projector not provided).
Quarnford Lodge has hosted hundreds of corporate events over the years, and has always received great feedback about the venue. Many corporate clients return regularly.
