About this property

Settled on an old farm in Middleton near Youlgreave, Derbyshire is this delightful, detached house of The Farmhouse. A Grade II listed building boasting original features throughout, whilst sitting in a courtyard of a non-working farm in the Peak District National Park, The Farmhouse is the perfect getaway for a large group or family of 18. After parking in one of the ample off-road spaces and taking in your marvellous surroundings, venture inside to a charming sitting room; where a toasty electric woodburning stove for you and your loved ones to cosy up around, as you watch a movie on the TV. Another sitting area can be found in the nearby conservatory, where you can really relish those countryside views as you sink back into the plush seating. Continue through the delightful property to find a country kitchen/diner hosting all you need to whip up delectable meals, from an AGA range to a dishwasher. Dinner can be savoured at the kitchen's small table, or as a grander affair in the dining room, where two tables seating all the family awaits as well as a crackling open fire. As the day comes to an end, you can find two inviting ground floor king-size rooms, with one featuring a four-poster bed; both bedrooms enjoy access to a nearby shower room, where you can enjoy a refreshing shower as you wash off a day packed with walking. Upstairs is home to five more thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, all styled differently to give each space a personality, with two of the rooms being king-sizes sporting canopy beds, another being a delightful twin, as well as a family room with a king-size and two singles, and lastly, a family room with a king-size and a single bed featuring a pull-out bed. The first floor also hosts two handy shower rooms, so those resting upstairs won't have to travel far to freshen up for a day packed with activities!

The garden is a stunning spot, with far-reaching views of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside; the hot tub rests on the patio and is a wonderful relaxation spot, where you can soak the day away. Travel a short distance north to find the friendly village of Youlgreave, home to three pubs including the friendly Bulls Head Hotel and a post office that hosts a village store; there's no need to travel far for your self-catering needs. The farm is also within easy reach of fantastic sights to see, which can be found on walks along the weaving trails surrounding the property, these include: the renowned Cratcliffe, Cork Stone, Lathkill Dale and Arbor Low Stone Circle. A little further afield you can find the market town of Bakewell, where you can learn of the local area at the Bakewell Visitor Centre, marvel the views from Bakewell Bridge, and tour the fascinating Old House heritage museum. The Park District National Park is home to so many more places and delights to discover, so be sure to make the most of it; you can make a start by visiting the nearby Chatsworth House or the town of Matlock for some fantastic days out. A footpath passes by the property giving easy access to wonderful local walks such as along Gratton Dale, Smerrill Moor and the Limestone Way. A countryside getaway to remember awaits at The Farmhouse. Note: This property can be booked with Ref 1079765 together sleeping up to 32 guests.

Nestled in the stunning countryside of the Peak District National Park is the village of Youlgreave. The village makes for an idyllic base, providing guests with a pub in The Bulls Head Hotel and a post office with a convenience store, so they can make the most of the unspoilt scenery during their stay. Youlgreave isn't far from Stanton Moor, where walkers can hike through the upland to discover Cork Stone, Nine Ladies Stone Circle and the Earl Grey Tower.

    My only comment would be that there is a large and growing population of ants, which are starting to get a bit annoying. And the little welcome pack is nice, but some ground coffe would be better than a bag of beans, since I don't think the property has any way of grinding them!

    We stayed here for a family holiday and it had everything we needed. There was lots of space for all 18 of us in the bedrooms and reception rooms; with a welcoming kitchen, living room and conservatory. Plenty of room for the younger children to play and give the teenagers some separate space too. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome basket, board games and books were a nice addition. The house was very clean, warm and well-kept which I'm sure isn't easy with such an old farmhouse! The hot tub was a huge hit with everyone and the views were amazing! Lots of outdoor space for football and our Easter egg hunt! We had an issue with the filter on the hot tub and the maintenance team came out very quickly and resolved it; Vicky was very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend this holiday house!

    Great space for a large gathering of friends and family. The dogs enjoyed the huge garden space (we were there before any livestock moved in to the surrounding fields) Friendly and helpful manager - thanks for a great week away!
