Historic Barn With Breathtaking Views Over Derbys/Staffs Border. Pet friendly.

Ridgehead Farm Cottages were created in 2008 by converting a 200 year old historic barn into 2 luxury cottages, Snipe and Curlew, they are both rated at the top end of 4 star by the tourist board. Set at 1500ft on a 80 acre equine farm within a site of Special Scientific Interest, they offer stunning views and year round peace and tranquillity yet are conveniently located for local amenities and exploring the Peak District. Each cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and sleeps 4 so are perfect for families or couples, the 2 cottages can be booked together (10% discount) to sleep 8. With underfloor heating downstairs and in all bathrooms they provide a warm, cosy retreat at the end of the day. EV charger now available for use of guests, has type 2 cable fitting most modern electric vehicles. Charging costs at domestic rates.

Christmas stay
Lovely place to stay in a rural setting. The cottage was cosy and warm, and had everything we needed. The only downside was no wifi, but we had a good phone connection so managed with our hotspot. Jo & Clive were great hosts alwsys available and helpful. It is ideally situated for walk, Buxton, Leek and other peak park towns. Would definitely book it again.

Peak District break
We had a lovely 3 day break here at this cosy little cottage (despite storms Eunice and Franklin passing straight over us). The cottage is well equipped, warm and well situated for lots of lovely walks or to see Bakewell, Buxton and Chatsworth House. Our hosts were very welcoming and we will definitely be booking again sometime soon.

Great cottage in a great location
Stayed for 10 nights in May, had a fabulous time. Everything was included for a great self catering stay. Very convenient location for spectacular walks and good pubs...(Pack Horse at Crowdecote is a must.) Would definitely recommend Curlew cottage and will try to stay there again later this year. Clive and Jo are very welcoming hosts but watch out for the 1 legged chicken!
