Quarnford and Flash 1 mile.
A lovely barn conversion with wonderful views over the surrounding Staffordshire and Derbyshire countryside, next door to the owners' home, on a smallholding farm with hens and sheep, 1 mile from the pretty village of Flash, the highest village in Britain, and 7 miles from the historic spa town of Buxton. Full of charm, this Peak District cottage has been lovingly converted, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a cosy sitting room with open fire. The enclosed Peak District cottage garden is a wonderful place to play and dine, and children will love the swing and slide. Enjoy beautiful walks through the surrounding footpaths, cycling on the nearby Manifold Trail, or a sightseeing tour of the Peak District National Park. Alternatively, test your nerve at thrilling Alton Towers! This Peak District cottage is an ideal base to get away from it all and enjoy a country break.
Quarnford is a village in the Staffordshire Moorlands district of the Peak District, between the towns of Buxton and Leek. Quarnford is also part of the village of Flash, which, at 1518 ft above sea level is the highest village in Britain.

With an air of peace and tranquility, Quarnford and Flash are in a great location to enjoy the full extent of the Staffordshire Moorlands and the rest of the Peak District.
