Welcome to Roaches Hall
(self catering holiday accommodation for 30 guests)
Roaches Hall is situated in the most outstanding of locations. Nestled under the famous rocks of The Roaches between Buxton and Leek, it is ideally situated for anyone wanting a ‘get away from it all’ location, yet in the heart of England. Roaches Hall is reached over a winding driveway through the fields and woods under the famous Hen Cloud rocks. To quote from the Sunday Times of 27 April 2008 "The Roaches themselves were spectacular. It was as if we'd wandered onto a film set from an Arthurian epic. Every turn seemed to reveal a perfectly composed landscape of trees, crags and velvet-mossed rocks, with no trace of the modern world in sight." The Daily Telegraph put The Roaches as number 5in its top 10 walks in the UK! Read about it
Party Houses Roaches Hall impressive driveway
Roaches Hall was once the hunting abode of Sir Philip Brocklehurst. Sir Philip’s brother, Henry Courtney lived in the house and amassed a small zoo in the grounds including yaks, llamas, deer and wallabies. These later roamed freely over the Roaches before dying out in more recent years.
