TESTIMONIALS AND REVIEWS
What a find! The Counting House is beautifully appointed and in a great location. Loads of walks over the Dales and Peak District close by. A number of good National Trust properties. We had a fabulous week

This is a fantastic 1770’s house, beautifully restored to its elegant Georgian period, ideal for a couple on a romantic escape.
…and there seemed nothing missing in the way of 21st C essentials – cosy central heating, TV, Wi-Fi etc plus a very well-appointed kitchen – though it was also very easy to eat out in this location!

We highly recommend the local cinema for its quirky foodery and comfy seats

Thankyou for a lovely stay and the wonderful bookbinding course at your studio. The Counting House is marvellously quirky and the facilities second to none

Quirky and beautiful is how I would sum up The Counting House. Every room has something to admire and comfort is a priority throughout

Thankyou, Alison & Peter, for your hospitality at The Counting House. We were very comfortable and enjoyed sampling all the cafes in Wirksworth. I had a wonderful week making mosaics and my husband enjoyed the fishing. We will definitely be back!”
