Welcome to Lea Hurst, Florence Nightingale’s legendary family estate,

now open to guests as carefully preserved historic apartments.







  • Florence Nightingale was deeply attached to Lea Hurst, the family's summer home, writing that "it breaks my heart to leave Lea Hurst". It is easy to see why. The house sits in a magnificent position, on the edge of the village of Holloway, overlooking the Derwent Valley, a World Heritage Site on the edge of the Peak District National Park.





  • Florence Nightingale’s historic home isn't a hotel and not ordinary apartments.


    Here, guests are welcomed into a 200-year-old family estate filled with antique furnishings and authentic Nightingale family artefacts.


    Every element has been carefully preserved to maintain the unique atmosphere of a true historic home.


    We have created a space where modern comfort blends seamlessly with the character of a historic estate — ideal for family stays, peaceful solo getaways, team retreats, intimate weddings, and professional photo or video shoots.


    Open the doors of Lea Hurst and let this historic estate become part of your story.

The sat nav will leave you a few hundred yards short of our entrance. Keep heading down Yew Tree Hill…the turning to our driveway is off this road, directly opposite the end of Church Street and just before the Florence Nightingale Memorial Hall (a red brick building on your left). You will see a 5-bar wooden gate with a name plaque for Lea Hurst in the middle.
