Our Accommodation

Self-catering accommodation in the Peak District

You will find a warm welcome at the Dove Valley Centre self-catering accommodation. Children especially, will enjoy exploring the woodlands, fields, ponds and river of our 50 acre farm.

The barns are 18th century and we have converted them sympathetically to preserve their character and to impact as little as possible on the environment. Many of the structural features have been left visible, including roof timbers, oak beams and stonework, providing accommodation that is both comfortable and stylish. The central heating is powered by a ground source heat pump, supplemented by a wood burning stove fired with logs from our woodland. To reduce the impact on the environment, much of the timber we have used has come from either renewable resources or is reclaimed. There are high levels of insulation, low energy light fittings and electricity from a “green” tariff so that the building is highly energy efficient.

The Hayloft and Shippon must be booked together, sleeping 12 in total, or more with camping.

Dogs/pets welcome in the Shippon & Shepherd’s Hut only.

There is also a barn with a ping-pong table which is open for both the Hayloft & Shippon to use.

Please ask if you would like to use the barbecue. Fire pit for hire also.

What do our guests say about their stay

Kind words from our visitors

Sarah, Alex and Ian were great hosts, Sarah with pre-visit communications, Alex met us upon arrival and Ian checked in mid-stay. All were friendly, informative and laid back. Their farm is in a stunning, peaceful location on the River Dove and there are beautiful walks from the door, which was perfect for our dog. As we were a big group we rented both the Hayloft and Shippon. Highly recommended.

Two lovely apartments in a peaceful valley. Perfect for a large party of guests and close to villages & walks. Well equipped & very nicely decorated - especially appreciated artwork. The barn with table tennis worked really well for the teenagers.

A wonderful location and excellent place to spend with friends from various parts of the UK. Wonderful walking of various levels easily accessible as are places such as Buxton, Bakewell & Chatsworth. The accommodation had everything we needed. Host very friendly and responsive. Good parking. A perfect week

Lovely comfortable accommodation in a beautiful place. Some people may find it a little remote but we loved it. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. A great place to stay at any time of the year with plenty of walks that you can go on without having to get in the car, but if you prefer more formal outings, there is plenty to see and do nearby.

We loved our weekend stay here. The barn is beautifully converted into two lovely apartments. The bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable and the living facilities were also great. It was all beautifully clean when we arrived and well equipped including providing all those essentials like toilet roll, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid. We also appreciated having a delicious cake waiting for us on arrival plus tea, coffee and milk.

Loved it! A fantastic and well thought out holiday cottage and even the very steep curvy track down to it just adds to the magic. Breath-taking views, tranquillity and great hosts - a definite jewel in the Peak District

Really beautiful, environmentally sustainable accommodation in the Peak District National Park. Idyllic setting, managed to encourage wildlife. Lovely, quirky, charming.
