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.
For a slice of peace and tranquility, look no further. The self-catering cottages here are beautifully fitted out and carefully maintained, and there's a genuine thought for the environment in the biomass boiler, which allows toasty underfloor heating and a constant supply of hot water. The spa is exquisite and a real surprise addition for what is otherwise a rural farm stay. Wonderful.
