Lea Hurst is not a museum — it is a living house where history and hospitality meet every day.

The atmosphere here is shaped not only by its architecture and heritage, but by the way it is cared for and maintained.

At the heart of this approach is the idea of responsibility for every detail — from the guest experience to the feeling of being at home.

Florence Nightingale’s legacy is deeply connected to this place. Her name is not only part of history, but a reminder of what care, structure, and service truly mean.

Lea Hurst is managed by Svitlana Barabash, whose professional background is rooted in the healthcare sector and a long-standing culture of service and responsibility.

For her, hospitality is not a separate industry, but a continuation of a familiar principle: attention to people, consistency, and trust.
This approach is especially visible in the way the house is run today — calm, structured, and guest-focused.

Lea Hurst is shared with a small team, creating a home that feels personal, warm, and thoughtfully maintained.

Guests come here not only for the history of Florence Nightingale or the beauty of Derbyshire, but for the feeling of being genuinely looked after.
Lea Hurst is, above all, a house where care is not a concept — but a practice.
