Stay at the gateway to the Peaks, in an area renowned for its incredible scenery and delightful villages. This former agricultural building, ideal for couples or small families, is set on a working farm and you can say hello to the donkeys, sheep, peacocks and emus before heading into the great outdoors. When you return, relax in your first-floor apartment with its open-plan living space and tranquil bedrooms.
A clever conversion has transformed this handsome building into a contemporary holiday destination with great style. Head up the stairs and enter the beautiful lounge/kitchen/diner, which has views over the farm from its Juliet balcony. This bright and airy space has a cool vibe and combines a Shaker-style kitchen area with a dining table for four by the window and comfortable seating around a Smart TV. There’s a breakfast bar for two as well - ideal for enjoying a morning coffee while you prepare for your day’s adventures. Two charming double bedrooms (in one, the bed is set against the wall), decorated in soft colours, share a luxurious shower room. Outside, a private patio gives you the option of al fresco drinks and meals in the sunshine or under the stars.
This area is a magnet for walkers, and you can enjoy not only the glorious vistas of Langsett Reservoir, 2 miles, but also strolls around Winscar Reservoir (8.5 miles), the short but challenging Derwent Edge walk with its incredible views (11 miles), and the start of the Pennine Way at Edale (21.5 miles). Bird watchers should keep an eye out for treecreepers, owls and woodpeckers, while if you feel more adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities in the National Park to try activities such as climbing, abseiling and kayaking.
