About Woodlands Guest House

Woodlands is a beautiful Victorian house in Charlesworth, Derbyshire, just on the northwest slopes of the Peak District. Originally built of local stone in 1886 by the Rowbottom family, owners of the Kinderlee textile mill, Woodlands is now in the loving care of Brian and Judy Mairs – only the third occupants of the house in the last hundred years. Together they have transformed it into a tasteful home from home and a great place to stay whether visiting Manchester or the Peak District.
