About Florence Nightingale Chapel
Derbyshire Holiday

This converted chapel, dated 1853, has the name of Florence Nightingale on the original deeds and her family home was in Holloway. Sympathetic conversion has turned the chapel into a unique self-catering holiday cottage ideally located for walking, cycling, bird watching, fishing, visiting stately homes and theme parks. It is situated in a peaceful location but close to the centre of the popular conservation village of Holloway, with beautiful views across the valley, and close to Matlock and all major attractions in the Peak District. Bed linen, towels, and tea towels are provided. The chapel has digital colour television, video, multi-fuel and log burning stove, plus full central heating. There is off street parking for three cars and a small private patio and secure garden area with furniture and a barbecue for the exclusive use of guests.

Inside, the stone walls and beamed ceilings exude olde world charm. Facilities within the chapel include a spacious lounge. On a cold day you can sit in the rocking chair and toast your feet in front of a roaring fire, the fuel for which is provided. There is a separate dining area, kitchen with electric cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer. Downstairs there is a Victorian bathroom with a large roll top bath where you can relax and soak away your cares. The Chapel has a gallery landing, master bedroom with en suite shower room, second bedroom with twin beds, and wash hand basin, with access through to a small single bedroom adjoining.
