Holly House
Large group accommodation in Derbyshire
Holly House offers large group accommodation in Derbyshire for family celebrations, milestone birthdays, relaxed wedding gatherings, corporate retreats and weekends away with friends. With 16 spacious bedrooms, 14 of them en-suite, generous social spaces, flexible dining areas, a cinema and games room, extensive grounds and optional extras including a hot tub, swim spa and Arctic Cabin, it is particularly well suited to groups who want comfort as well as space.
The house works especially well for groups of up to 32 adults, with additional flexibility for children in selected family rooms. It is designed for people who want time together under one roof, with plenty of room to gather, eat, celebrate and relax, while still offering quieter corners and a much greater sense of privacy than many traditional large-group properties.
Why Choose Holly House?
Holly House is ideal for groups who want more than just a place to sleep. With 16 spacious bedrooms, 14 of them en-suite, guests have far more privacy and comfort than in many traditional large-group properties, while the generous communal areas make it easy to bring everyone together for meals, drinks, games, planning sessions or celebrations.
Separate lounges, a cinema room, billiards room, conservatory and outdoor spaces give guests plenty of room to spread out too. The house works equally well as a relaxed self-catering base or as the setting for a more organised stay with private catering, local activities, walks, pubs and days out. We’re also happy to help with pre-arrival planning, including local suppliers, places to eat and ideas for making the most of your time in Derbyshire.
Space for Celebrations, Retreats and Time Together
Holly House is designed to bring large groups together without everyone having to be in the same space all of the time. The generous dining and social areas are ideal for long meals, celebrations, workshops and relaxed evenings, while the separate lounges, cinema room, billiards room and quieter corners give guests plenty of space to break away into smaller groups.
That flexibility makes Holly House particularly well suited to family celebrations, weekends with friends and corporate retreats. Groups can spend the day exploring Derbyshire, walking in the surrounding countryside or enjoying local activities, then come back together for drinks, private dining or a relaxed evening at the house.
With extensive communal space alongside 16 spacious bedrooms, Holly House gives larger groups the unusual combination of time together, personal space and comfort.
