Beautiful accommodation, well decorated, perfectly stocked kitchen, very neat and clean. The setting was stunning, I can't recommend this place enough for families with children - there is a gorgeous play area for littles and a fantastic animal farm/orchard that the children have access to with the usual farm animals, emus, and even meerkats! We used this as a base to explore areas like Matlock Bath, Bakewell, and even had a family birthday dinner in Nottingham which was a 35 minute drive. Great location, great staff, and wonderful memories made. We would not hesitate to return!!

The only comment for improvement I would have is that the mattresses in The Old Wine Cellar, save for the master bedroom, definitely need replacing. They were soft and unfortunately, none of the beds other than the master were restful.

Absolutely wonderful place, clean, well equipped and comfy. I was very happy and felt so much at home and it was quiet and all the nature around made it even better. Thank you, Oakerthorpe! We had a lovely, relaxing birthday holiday and will definitely come back again! I also loved the little dinosaurs in the Orchard ;)

The only thing that would have made it absolutely perfect would have been more privacy around the hot tub in "The Dairy", with more foliage maybe or so. Also, when we arrived, there was a broken glass in the back of the cupboard, which was probably left behind by the last person who was there and one plastic cup had a leak, but I called to let them know.

This was a lovely place! We stayed in the old milk parlour - it was a great space for a weekend of 10 of us. The place was super clean, had everything we needed like plenty of towels, good number of bathrooms; the kitchen had things like dishwasher tablets, salt/pepper/oil, kitchen roll etc. It also had an aircon unit which was amazing as it was quite warm in the house, even in October! The hot tub and outside area was lovely too. There is a little farm onsite & as we had a little one with us, we were able to ‘meet farmer Vic’ who showed us around, let us feed Al the animals and even collect and take the eggs from the chickens - a really lovely touch!

Great location for groups and groups with kids. The play area was superb and allowed adults to chill out while everyone played. The bbq areas were a nice touch too and we had a great bbq one evening.

We had 2 apartments. The first one, I think it was called the wine cellar was very traditional however felt like it was underground so quite dark and claustrophobic at times. This couldn't be helped as it was just the design of the old home. Other area, think it was called the dairy, was great.

The cottage was really clean and bedding was great! The hot tub was a real treat.

While we appreciated the importance of being respectful to neighbours, we found the number of signs around the property — particularly those about noise — a little excessive. We also received multiple emails on the same topic, which made the experience feel slightly less relaxed than we’d hoped. A single clear reminder would likely be just as effective without feeling overwhelming.

Absolutely beautiful. Stayed 2 nights in the diary. The house was so cute and was very cosy and warm. The hot tub was amazing too! We had lovely weather so went on some nice local walks (the pesto & the peacock restaurant around a 15 min walk away was SO nice!) House was spotless and the grounds were beautiful. Looking at returning with the in-laws soon to stay in one of the bigger properties. Thanks farmer Vic for the fresh eggs too and the animal feeding was fun for my daughter 😁

The accommodation was beautiful inside and out! Very cosy and everything you could want. The hot tub was lovely! The kids park was a big winner with our daughter, especially the well kitted out playhouse! The onsite farm was the highlight of our visit, our daughter loved feeding the animals and collecting the eggs! The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make it enjoyable for the kids. Would love to come back again!

No complaints from us!

We needed a stop place for my daughters wedding and this turned up and it was absolutely perfect. We had the wine cellar for 6 adults and 4 children and it worked well. The animal farm, including emu's, goats, ducks, sheep mearcats and alpacas was fantastic for all, and you can feed them. The park and football area was again brilliant for the kids. Well done

Nothing at all.

Ideal for the kids with the park and the farm. Good location for travel. House was very clean and had all the amenities required, including wet room and disabled facilities which my elderly parents really appreciated.

Minor matter. It was extremely hot for one night of our stay and the fans provided, coupled with the window openings being restricted, didn’t really improve things.

The surroundings are beautiful, Elliot house was lovely and the park was fab for our children. The best part of our holiday was taking the children to the orchard and feeding the animals. Farmer Vic was the most kind and lovely man and the children loved him and he went beyond to give them the best experience. We will definitely be returning!

Genuinely cannot say anything we didn't like
