To the side of the main building is an adjoining accommodation block offering seven en-suite double letting bedrooms, popular with walkers, cyclists, and visitors to the Peak District National Park.

Additional single-storey outbuildings to the rear offer useful storage or ancillary space. There is a generous car park area to the front and side of the premises.
