Marple is located on the fringe of the Peak District with walking, cycling and exploring from the front door. Some attractions close by include The Sett Valley Trail, Chatsworth House, Castleton and the Blue John Cavern which are all worth a visit.

We do allow 1/2 dogs, on prior arrangement, for a charge of £10 per dog per stay payable directly to Jane, the owner. We ask not to leave dogs alone in the apartment.

The Roman Lakes is just a short walk away from the apartment - popular with dog walkers, anglers and cyclists, with archaeological digs where you can experience the history of the area.

Our 4th. stay in this apartment.

We always stay at the Hive now when visiting Marple. We are all over 80 and the central position of the apartment is extremely convenient for visiting friends and family. Jane is extremely accommodating and welcoming. There is a full kitchen should you wish to cook with a welcome pack of goodies!

Preferable alternative to a hotel

We have just spent a very enjoyable weekend at The Hive apartment. It is centrally situated on the main shopping street of Marple.The apt. seems light and airy, yet it was warm and cosy when the rain was pouring down outside. It is well equipped and includes a very useful welcome pack. The beds are comfortable and the linen is crisp and clean. We will definitely return!
