The Hive Short Stays is a small family owned business. We are very keen to ensure contact with our guests is prompt from the day of booking, to arriving and during your stay. We respect your privacy but are always at hand should the need arise. We live local so can advise on anything you wish to know for your stay. We always ensure our apartments are ready for your arrival to a high standard that would hopefully exceed your expectations! There are 4 exquisite apartments in this historic Grade II listed 16th Century Jodrell Arms building. Set on the approach to the village train station it is a perfect location for exploring local towns and countryside by train! Entering through the beamed communal entrance hall, the Francis Suite (named after the Jodrell family) is a exclusive two bedroom apartment on the first floor, adjacent to the Edmund Suite, which overlooks the village train station with trains scheduled to Buxton and Manchester Piccadilly only. The large open plan living area has comfy seating with an icon leather chaise longue to relax in front of the log burning fire and flat TV. A great room to watch the trains go by! The kitchen area has all the mod cons, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, washing machine/dryer. Luxury white quartz work tops and high quality units and fittings are a beautiful contrast against the original wooden floor. Either dine at the breakfast bar or on the round dining table. From the wooden floor hallway leads you to the bedrooms, one has a King bed and TV with a feature brick wall, the second with two singles. Feel spoilt as you walk in the spacious shower with the choice of a rain water shower head or a second lower shower head, the traditional style fittings, toilet and hand basin are suited to the age of the building. Quality shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap and towels are all provided for you. We do allow max 2 dogs with an additional charge of £15 per dog per stay. Please note we don't provide child safety equipment.
