Paddock House Farm holiday cottages in Alstonefield village of Peak District in Derbyshire are just a 20-minute drive away to the south-west of Chatsworth House. You can enjoy going around this great historic attraction while staying at one of the self-catering cottages on the 35-acre tree-lined grounds of the Paddock House. Even the drive among the greenery of the Peak District to Chatsworth will prove a great experience.
At this time of the year (November 5 to December 23) Chatsworth House will be dressed up for the theme “Deck the Halls.” The two lower grounds of the House that is open during this period will be decorated with trees, garlands and candles that bring to life such classics as The Holly and the Ivy, Silent Night and Jingle Bells. Visitors can dress up in seasonal costumes as angels, kings and drummer boys. They can listen to the story of the Good King Wenceslas or engage in craft activities of yore. Before leaving, go to the Great Stairs and the Christmas Wish Tree beneath it. Put your Christmas hopes and messages on the tree.
The 105-acre Chatsworth garden has been evolving for more than 450 years and is still changing. You can find great water features such as a 300-year old Cascade, trough waterfall among the rockery and the enormous gravity-fed Emperor fountain. Then there are other attractions such as a huge maze to get lost, the rockery and the rose, cottage and kitchen gardens, and over five miles of walks. Feel free to walk on the grass and bring your dogs (on leash please) along.
At the farmyard and playground you can observe farm animals being handled and play in the Woodland Adventure Playground with great water and spiral slides.
