Description

We offer luxury self-catering accommodation in our Derbyshire holiday cottages, some are on our Organic farm situated in Dovedale within the Peak District National Park. Our Dovedale Cottages are Grade 2 listed and have a cozy "Country Living" feel in one of the most peaceful and tranquil settings deep in the heart of the Peak District National Park, with stunning scenery in all directions. These lovingly restored cottages are situated in a truly unique position at the top of Hall Dale in Stanshope and therefore are ideally positioned for the Dovedale and Manifold Valleys. If you are looking for first class accommodation, surrounded by peaceful/quiet countryside then Church Farm is the place for you to get away from the demands of modern living! Church Farm has been a farm as far as we know since the 16th century and has been in the Fowler family for half a century. We have evidence of the occupation on the site of Church Farm in much earlier times. It has always been farmed traditionally in the old fashioned way of using very little pesticides and fertilizers. Animals were allowed to spend their summers grazing the meadows and pastures with the sun on their backs and a friendly pat from the farmer who is boss. They had the very best sweet smelling hay and silage to eat, and were allowed to mature gradually as nature intended. The massive downturn in farming has caused so many of the small farmers like ourselves to either grow into large factory type units or to sell and move out. We did not wish to lose our family home nor leave our land and animals to be farmed more aggressively so we made the decision to fully convert the farm to be organic in April 1997 in an endeavour to protect and preserve the environment and the animals and wildlife on the farm for the future generations who should be lucky enough to live here. Church Farm is therefore an organic farm (no fertilizers or pesticides) with the fields containing a host of wild flowers and herbs. Beautiful walks start from the doorstep of the cottages. So, if you enjoy the countryside you cannot find a better place to relax, unwind and explore it. At the end of the day you have a lovely cottage to come back to and that cozy open fire to laze in front of. If you can drag yourself away, our local pub is just a short stroll.

Chatsworth house and gardens have attracted visitors, from all over the world, for many generations. Building of Chatsworth house was begun in 1552 by Bess of Hardwick and her second husband Sir William Cavendish. Their second son, William, was created Earl of Devonshire in 1618. The 4th Earl who was created 1st Duke of Devonshire in 1694 after assisting William of Orange to claim the British throne, began to make improvements at Chatsworth. Eventually he completely remodelled the house and added formal gardens and the famous cascade. Most of the work was completed before he died in 1707. Chatsworth park was landscaped by Capability Brown who reshaped the formal garden into the more natural one you see today. The 6th Duke engaged Joseph Paxton as the head gardener, resulting in the enrichment of the gardens and the creation of the Emperor Fountain as well as the now demolished Great Conservatory. The house and gardens have remained little changed since the 6th Dukes time.
