We are delighted to feature in Visit Peak District’s new campaign, “Centre of it all.” The campaign celebrates the Peak District as a place to explore, but also a place to pause, reset and reconnect. We were especially pleased that Darley House helped share the message: “Find your centre.”
In the short film, our games room-turned-wellness studio becomes a peaceful space for stillness and reflection. It captures something we’ve always believed: time away is not only about discovering beautiful places, but also about restoring ourselves and reconnecting with those we love.
As a Peak District wellness retreat venue, Darley House offers restorative calm, stunning landscapes, and meaningful time together.
Wellness Space and Retreats at Darley House
Darley House welcomes special gatherings of all kinds. Guests come for family celebrations, weekends with friends, and hosted wellness retreats. Alongside our spacious accommodation, we also provide a dedicated indoor space for wellbeing.
Guests and retreat leaders can use this space for:
Yoga, pilates and meditation (with room for around 10 mats plus an instructor)
Breathwork and relaxation sessions
Wellness workshops and quiet reflection
We love welcoming experienced wellness professionals who host retreats here. Katie Hoyle – founder of Granola Girlies hosts weekend retreats encouraging women to spend more time outdoors and reconnect with nature. Her next Peak District retreat at Darley House is in March.
We have also welcomed Jess who runs Time Seekers, focusing on women’s wellbeing and we especially love this joyful photograph from their stay. A wonderful reminder of how restorative it can be to slow down, share time together, and reconnect with others.
Both retreat leaders have loved the warmth, character and attention to detail that make Darley House such a special and homely setting.

Bespoke Wellness Experiences for All Guests
You don’t need to attend a formal retreat to enjoy wellbeing during your stay. Many guests choose to build their own personalised wellness break, and we can help arrange:
Private yoga sessions
Hot tub hire
Indian head massage
Beauty and pamper treatments
Nourishing catering, including plant-based food specialists
Darley House combines the flexibility of a luxury self-catering stay with the calm of a Peak District wellness retreat venue.
We work closely with yoga and wellness coach – Helen Fiddler ; yoga instructor – Andrea of AC Yoga ; and beauty and massage therapist – Kathleen. You can see more about our wellness partners on the Activities page of our website.
Togetherness is at the Heart of Wellness
For us, wellness means more than treatments. It also means being together. Long walks, shared meals, laughter, and quiet mornings often bring the deepest sense of wellbeing.
That is what Darley House offers: space, connection, comfort — and the chance to find your centre.
If you’d like to host a wellness retreat at Darley House, or create your own bespoke wellbeing break during a group stay, please get in touch. Contact Lucy on 07719 894663. We’re always delighted to help.
