The 11-bedroom High Peak Manor, which once belonged to Christie’s brother-in-law and was frequently visited by the acclaimed author, offers an immersive experience for guests interested in a literary and period setting.
Located on 30 acres of private grounds, the sandstone-built property features architectural elements that evoke a bygone era, including stained-glass windows and a Medieval oak-framed Great Hall designed for banquets. The manor also includes four spacious lounges, a traditional country kitchen equipped with a working Aga stove, and seven bathrooms, combining historic charm with modern comforts.
High Peak Manor can accommodate up to 26 guests and includes an on-site pub, adding to its unique appeal. Rental rates are approximately £7,350 for a three-night stay. Reservations can be made online through a dedicated booking platform at bighouseexperience.com.
The property’s atmosphere and design have been said to closely resemble settings from Christie’s novels, making it an attractive option for literary enthusiasts and those seeking an authentic experience in a heritage setting.
