Huge windows frame panoramic views over a sea of green rolling fields and drystone walling so typical of the Peak District, beautifully complimented by soft natural shades and textures that evoke the tranquillity of a seaside retreat. It's heavenly in every season, whether you are staying for a holiday with family, celebrating a milestone occasion with friends, hosting guests for a hen celebration, or planning a yoga retreat or artists’ workshop. The barn itself sleeps 16 guests in six superb ensuite bedrooms with the option to sleep an additional four guests in two further bedrooms both ensuite in the nearby Coach House (approx. 30 metres away).

Parwich is a charming village in the heart of the Peak District National Park. It’s wonderfully quiet, with pretty houses clustered around the village green and duck pond. The area is in the White Peak and popular with walkers and cyclists who appreciate the proximity of the traffic-free Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail. Limestone Way is another favourite route, as is the Royston Grange Archaeology Trail which takes in Roman and medieval sites of interest.
