The Experience

This Grade II-listed cottage is tucked away in a tiny hamlet overlooking the Amber Valley, with plenty of wildlife in the fields around – birdwatchers will be in paradise – and the most incredible night skies.

Amanda and Martin live in the main farmhouse and welcome you with some thoughtful goodies – a homemade Victoria sponge cake, chocolates, a bottle of fizz on ice, fresh eggs from the chickens, local sourdough bread and butter. There’s a separate Shepherd’s Hut, available from summer 2024.

You’ll be happy here rain or shine, with plenty of books and magazines; in fine weather you can eat outside or soak in the hot tub while you gaze down at field, hill and dale. Children and dogs have a field to romp around, there are pubs and shops a few minutes away, and plenty of historic houses are within a half hour drive.

Reviews

A first class retreat, hosts Amanda and Martin are wonderful people very kind ... On entering we were blown away by the beauty and hygiene of the cottage, it didn’t stop there a fabulous welcome pack greeted us... 🙏 Stunning views which are best appreciated with a glass is wine whilst sitting in the hot tub. Plenty to do in the surrounding area, you won’t be disappointed, Chatsworth House, and Haddon Hall, Bakewell.... Lots of circular walks. If you are looking for accommodation in this area it would be a big mistake not to give this a try. Thank you Amanda and Martin ten out of ten.

Perfect Winter Break. Beautiful setting in the Derbyshire countryside, well appointed cottage and a luxurious hot tub from which you can admire the views – what more could you wish for? Amanda and Martin are the perfect hosts and were always available if we had any questions. However, The Old Granary itself is very private. Winter or Summer, this is a great place to stay. There is lots to do nearby and some helpful suggestions within the cottage. The walking is excellent and our dog had a memorable holiday too. I would highly recommend.

Simon, Abingdon

A fabulous place to stay with lovely views and the added bonus of a hot tub. We had a lovely family week staying at The Old Granary. Amanda and Martin were very welcoming. The house was very well equipped, warm, cosy and comfortable. The welcome pack was much appreciated too. We used the hot tub every day and enjoyed looking at the wonderful views of the countryside. We would thoroughly recommend staying here, it’s a great base for exploring the local area.

Rebecca, Eastbourne

This is an absolute gem. Tucked away in a tiny hamlet with the most beautiful views of the Amber Valley, is this gorgeous cottage. Beautiful décor, extremely comfortable bedrooms, spacious living areas and a large social kitchen make this a very special place. The icing on the cake is the Jacuzzi hot tub outside. Lift a glass of fizz and enjoy that view. Blissful.
