Traditional Derbyshire Stone Cottages
The Star offers stunning self-catering accommodation in the quintessentially British village of Taddington in Buxton, Derbyshire. Divided into three traditional Derbyshire stone cottages, the venue sleeps a total of eighteen guests.
The accommodation gives the option to gather in the communal spaces whilst offering the flexibility of independent dwelling should you require. It is the perfect setup for a large hen do that wants both togetherness and privacy.
Location: Buxton & Bakewell
With the Peak District on your doorstep, there is an abundance of scenic walks to enjoy. For the thrill-seekers, you can abseil off the Millers Dale Bridge, which is just a five-minute drive from The Star. For those less adventurous, you can take a relaxing walk through the village of Taddington. As one of England’s highest villages, a stroll through town allows you to take in the picturesque scenery.
A trip to the Peak District wouldn’t be complete without a country pub. Traditional pub food and a large variety of drinks are on offer at **The Queens Arms**, a five-minute walk from your accommodation.
The Star is situated between the towns of **Bakewell** and **Buxton**, both of which are highly recommended to visit. Buxton is surrounded on three sides by the Peak District National Park. As well as its famous tart, the town of Bakewell has a lot to offer. There is both a Farmers’ Market and independent shops here where you can sample the local produce. **Thornbridge Brewery** is also a perfect place for your group to try out amazing craft beers.
Three Cottages in One
There are a total of nine bedrooms across the three cottages at The Star. Each cottage offers a mixture of double rooms, twin rooms, and bunk beds to allow guests to choose the best layout to suit them.
Slaters Cottage: Sleeps four adults.
Star House: Sleeps ten adults.
Star Barn: Sleeps four adults.
(2 Extra adults can be added to the above room allocation if required).
Fresh towels and toiletries are provided, with beds made up ready for your arrival.
Sunken Conservatory Dining
For a superior dining experience, the **Sunken Conservatory** in The Star Barn boasts an impressive glass ceiling, letting in natural light or the perfect view of the stars once the sun sets. Up to twenty-four guests can be seated here, making it the social hub of the weekend. Double doors open out onto a patio where you can sit outside and enjoy a drink or two.
Lounge & Billiards Room
In The Star House, the lounge is characterised by its country charm, with a log burner set in an original stone fireplace. Off this is a **Games Room** featuring a **Billiards Table**—perfect for a bit of competitive fun!
The two smaller cottages each have their own separate living areas, ideal for cosying up with a hot chocolate and a good book if you need a break from the main party.
Garden & BBQ
All three cottages share a communal garden, perfect for an outdoor entertainment space. A BBQ is available to use from April to October (please note you must provide your own charcoal).
In-House Activities
The generous social spaces within the house give groups who want to enhance their weekend with one or more of our amazing in-house activities plenty of choice.
Some popular options include Perfume making, Private Chef, Cheeky Cocktails, Mobile Pamper, Nude Life Drawing, and Murder Mystery. Enjoy a cocktail or two while making floral crowns with your closest friends against the stunning backdrop of the Peak District.
