The Experience
A stunning spot, right on the edge of the Peaks. Charming owners Jim and Mary, who live here, have done a grand job converting four cottages, including your listed milking parlour. The sitting room is flooded with light, the feel is solid and homely, sofas are of the completely squishy variety, views are glorious, and games, books and DVDs keep everyone happy.
The kitchen is filled with all you need for a leisurely supper round the farmhouse table, or a picnic by the barbecue hut outside. A biomass boiler gives you piping hot water, powerful showers and underfloor heating. A hot tub under the stars is shared and there’s a day spa to ease your limbs.
Upstairs you’ll find woollen blankets over feather duvets, deep set windows and more green views. There are stunning walks in any direction with footpaths starting from the door and a good pub just a couple of miles away.

Had a wonderful long weekend at Smallshaw Cottages and Spa. We stayed in the farmhouse, plenty of room for 6 adults, a toddler, and two dogs. Lovely welcome from Jim. Beautiful grounds, peaceful and relaxing with use of hot tub and tennis court. Areas to walk the dogs. Driving distance to supermarket and lots to visit within the area. Accomadation lovely and clean. We all really enjoyed our visit and hope to return. Thank you.

Smallshaw cottage and spa is absolutely stunning. The cottages the grounds the amenities, the onsite spa. We booked this as a surprise trip for my mums retirement. We booked two cottages and both were amazing. You have the jacuzzi, bbq hut, many sitting areas within the grounds. So many places to sit having your breakfast/dinner and taking in all the views. The onsite spa is such a treat and definitely worth booking if you’re staying. The owners and staff are absolutely lovely and go out of their way to help. This is hands down one of the best places I have stayed. We cannot wait to go back.

We celebrated our 10 year university reunion with an overnight spa break at Smallshaw, staying in the Farmhouse. We had the most incredible and relaxing visit. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything we could need, comfortable beds, and the most incredible garden views. The spa treatments were wonderfully relaxing and just what we needed. We are already planning our return! Thank you

This is my second stay at The Farmhouse and I came with my family this time. The facilities are lovely with far more equipment in the kitchen than you would expect in a self-catering property. A great base for day trips in the area and a cosy but spacious place to return to. Hope to come back in the future.

Had the most amazing stay. The staff were truly amazing and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Travel to stay with a group for a friends 40th and we couldn’t believe the value for money! The accommodation is outstanding and the spa was something else. The treatments were wonderful I couldn’t fault a thing. The accommodation was kitted out with high end products and lots of extras for tea coffee and breakfast. Great wow factor. I will definitely be going again!

Our third visit this year, this time with our elderly Mum. The weather was perfect, the cottage clean, comfortable and well equipped, we discovered new places to visit and really enjoyed the garden. Thank you Jim and Mary for all your hard work.

We all loved our stay at the Farmhouse, it was great for our family of 6 plus our dog. The house is spacious, beautifully designed, with lovely fireplaces and breath-taking views from the windows. The surrounding area is gorgeous, having breakfast in the garden watching the horses nearby was enjoyed by all of us. The hot tub is excellent for relaxing with a glass of wine (or a juice for the kids) in the evening after a good day's hike.

Fantastic cottage nestled in a stunning location with panoramic views. The facilities were great and it was lovely to be able to use the spa, hot tub and grounds. Very dog friendly but the only thing lacking was a secure area to let the dog out for a wee last thing at night. Will definitely be making a return visit!

We had a wonderful time at smallshaw cottages. The site is beautifully kept with gorgeous views and very peaceful. The spa is a real bonus. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds and pillows super comfy. We couldn’t resist lighting a small fire one evening in the log burner where everything had been provided. We didn’t use the bar b q hut as there was only two of us but hope to bring the family back soon. One small suggestion, a roller blind on the back door might be a nice addition to give privacy when using the downstairs wet room which was an added luxury we really appreciated.

Birch cottage had everything you could need for a self-catering trip and was so beautiful and comfortable! The location is stunning and the views are gorgeous from every window. The breakfast hamper was great, especially when we realised there was already milk in the fridge! We visited the spa twice and were so impressed - this was definitely one of the nicest we've been to in terms of facilities, cleanliness and atmosphere. We used the hot tub one evening which was clean and easy to operate, and very private despite being shared. Thank you so much for a perfect little break!

The cottage and the surrounding area were gorgeous. Clean, cosy and very spacious. It had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked equipment wise so you could cook everything as you would at home. The spa was fantastic. It had fabulous facilities and friendly helpful staff. Our treatments were great and everything was well explained and we had lots of choice. Checking in and out were straightforward although booking and the confirmation emails got a bit confusing as automated emails came with slightly different information on but this was easily sorted.

Introducing
Mary & Jim Booth
This is Jim's family farm. He and Mary and their dogs live in the farmhouse and they've renovated all the derelict old buildings to create the holiday cottages. They love welcoming guests to their special part of the world.
Highly recommended. Cottage was very well appointed clean with loads of space, great location and dog friendly. Hot tub and bbq hut an added bonus couldn't fault anything.
