At Sheldon House Monyash we welcome you into our home, offering award-winning Bed & Breakfast accommodation in the heart of Peak District National Park, just five miles from Bakewell. Whether you’re looking for a one-night stay as part of a long-distance walk, or several days to explore the beautiful Derbyshire Dales and some of the local attractions (including Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Buxton Spa Town), you will find a warm welcome, a comfortable room and a choice of great breakfasts – check out our reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.
“Places like Sheldon House exemplify why people love staying in B&Bs. There's not a pillow or a pot of jam out of place, while Mike & Caroline are as kind as they come. Stay here.”
Sheldon House is sympathetically decorated to complement its Grade 2 listing; our guest rooms are named after heritage Derbyshire apple varieties, Peak District watercolours by a local artist are displayed in each room.
"A faultless experience from start to finish, a warm welcome, beautiful room and tasty breakfast. All set in a beautiful village with plenty of countryside walks and a lovely pub. Add in a slice of homemade cake... mmm! Going anywhere else is going to be a let-down. 11 out of 10 from us!"
We offer a wide choice of breakfasts, with local ingredients used wherever possible. Bread, preserves, and cakes on arrival, are all homemade and special diets are catered for. We also offer packed lunches, often very welcome – especially if you’re walking and the next village is just a bit too far away! (Please note: food is prepared in a kitchen where allergens may be present; we cannot guarantee the absence of allergens but make every effort to minimise risk. Guests are requested to advise us of any allergy issues before their arrival.)
"Mike and Caroline have turned hospitality into an art form together. A beautiful tea-in-the-garden welcome to two weary walkers, such comfortable and tasteful rooms and a delicious breakfast. In a word: quality!"
Evening meals may be available at Sheldon House by arrangement (see below), or the Bull’s Head pub offers good beer and good food just 5 minutes’ walk away.
“Thank you for your warm hospitality - we loved the delicious homemade food. Dinner last night was superb.”
We aim to be as inclusive as possible and so have a special deal for families – see below for details. Our 250-year-old building is hard to adapt for absolutely all mobility needs, but we want to welcome as many as possible so please check our accessibility and inclusion page and do get in touch to discuss your individual visual, hearing or mobility needs which we will address if possible.
