Heathy Lea - Bakewell

Emma K.

My husband and I held our wedding at Heathy Lea in July and it was the PERFECT venue - we would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering it.

We had the venue and accommodation from the Friday to Monday, and the whole thing just felt so personal. By the time it came to Monday morning, nobody wanted to leave.

The marquee set up and the views from the site were just gorgeous, and so many of our guests said that it was so different to any wedding they’d attend before, in the best possible way.

Sally and James made sure the whole weekend ran completely smoothly. They were on hand for anything we needed, whilst also giving us the space to enjoy our weekend.

The accommodation was all beautiful, my husband and I had separate areas to get ready and spend the morning with our respective friends and family members. Plenty of space for some lovely getting ready photos, with the stunning parkland views in the background!

We absolutely could not recommend this more to anyone considering it, we’re already planning our next stay for our 6 month anniversary and know that both us and our family and friends will be back to visit in the future too!

My wife and I got married at Heathy Lea in May and it was completely perfect. James and Sally are wonderful and are incredibly good at what they do. Everything went so smoothly and their continual support made our entire weekend a complete joy. The accommodation is excellent and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Heathy Lea is the most idyllic setting, surrounded by the beautiful Chatsworth estate. It will always hold a special place for us and we look forward to going back again soon.

Heathy Lea is one of my favourite places in the Peaks! I've visited a few times personally, and now have been lucky enough to conduct a wedding there too. The location is so stunning, with amazing views all around. Somehow it manages to feel intimate and secluded without actually being ages and ages away from convenient places to visit locally.

If you're hoping to have a wedding or getaway where you can truly relax, in comfortable luxury, this place would be perfect!

Full marks review for the incredible Chatsworth Park location, impeccable service and warm warm welcome.

Not walkable at all to Chatsworth or the pubs in Baslow, which was why we booked it. Also, beds were very uncomfortable and we would only recommend it for warmer weather as it gets dark so early you really can’t walk through Chatsworth late afternoon.

We stayed in ‘Stag’ Shepherds Hut and what a wonderful experience it was. The decor is absolutely exquisite in really soft, relaxing neutral colours.
Everything has been so carefully thought through to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
I loved the little log burner in the Shepherds Hut which was super cosy, although there’s also timed heating for chilly days and a lovely outdoor area with a fire pit too for evenings.
Set in the Chatsworth Estate the views from our hut were incredible and it’s perfect for walking and visiting the House too.
We chose the smallest hamper which included more than enough delicious, high quality food sourced from the Chatsworth Farm shop for our two night stay.

Highly, highly recommend and will definitely book again

I can't speak highly enough of Sally and James and the team at Heathy Lea. They allowed my husband and I to have the best wedding weekend of our lives. Nothing was too much to sort and they were on hand throughout the whole experience from planning to making sure guests got home safely. This wedding venue is a total gem that allows each couple to DIY and make it suit them which is so rare these days. We cannot thank you both enough, Love Maddy & James xxx

We got married at Heathy Lea in June and it was everything and more than we could have imagined. The set-up is absolutely perfect for a weekend of celebrations and all the accommodation on site is wonderful. Our wedding weekend certainly wouldn't have been what it was without Sally & James, and would recommend Heathy Lea to anyone. Heathy Lea will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back to visit!

A beautiful wedding venue with accommodation on site for the bridal party to get ready. The owners are fantastic and help to ensure the day runs perfectly. Located in the Peak District so the landscape is incredible and if you get a golden sunset you're in for a treat. Definitely recommended from my side of things as a wedding photographer. Give me a shout if you want to know more about my visit there. Photos by @teamedwardsphotography on Instagram
