Recommended. Welcoming & comfortable. We would visit again if in the area. Advice: Since the property is accessed by country lanes we suggest planning your travel during daylight hours.

Gratton Grange is a lovely farmhouse b&b with attractive and comfortable rooms, relatively remote in itself, but actually close to the heart of the Peak District. We did, however, visit on the coldest weekend of the year and with overnight snowfall, our stay turned into quite an adventure! Fortunately, we had indulged in the superb breakfast before tacking the icy lane on our route out. At one point we weren't sure we were going to succeed, but our hosts came to the rescue, along with our fellow guests, so we have great memories of that support and would love to visit again...in better weather! Thanks to all for an unforgettable stay.

This a malicious review from a guest that wasn't able to cancel their booking at the last minute. They did not arrive/stay at the B&B.

Lovely peaceful stay with good breakfast
It is so peaceful and close to natural. We have the suits which is the whole floor with separate living room. There are microwave and toaster in the living room. There are not much food options around, need to drive to the village nearby with single line country road. I would recommend you have food before arrive or bring food home. Breakfast is very good. You can cook boiled egg fresh to your taste, smoke salmon, cream cheese and delicious yogurt. Only instant coffee provided, but good tea selection. Check the hot water as we run out of hot water in the evening.

Fabulous views!
We had a lovely stay in this wonderful old farm cottage with fabulous views! The king suite is the whole second floor with a separate sitting/dining area, which we weren't expecting. It was clean and comfortable and although a cooked breakfast wasnt on offer the continental breakfast available was plentiful with lots of choice. We only met the hosts on arrival and were then left to our own devices. A very laid back and enjoyable stay.

Rooms were big with modern and stylish decor. We loved the green field view from the window with the farm animals walking about - it felt very tranquil. Massive choice of fresh continental breakfast and the owners couldn't be nicer - they even gave us a lift to the bus stop! I'd definitely recommend the place for a recharging holiday.

Wonderful 2 night stay
Wonderful peaceful stay at Gratton Grange. The standard double room we stayed in was spacious, clean and comfortable with our own private bathroom down the hall. The countryside views were lovely :) the hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome. The chickens running around in the courtyard were very entertaining!

Our first B&B stay
A beautiful, remote location with fabulous views. I had booked a double room which was spacious and very comfortable. Hubby had a great nights sleep in the comfortable bed. I wasnt aware when booking that our bathroom was down the hall or I would have brought a nightie! Breakfast choice was immense. I really fancied one of the eggs presumably laid by the hens on the farm but I had no idea how to cook it. Instead I had a salmon bagel. Hubby had a croissant. We would both have preferred a full English but we got ourselves a bacon roll when we went out. Glad we visited in good weather - those narrow lanes would be impossible in snow or ice! We were really looking for somewhere we could bring our dog and thought a farm would be a dead cert. Unfortunately the farm isnt dog friendly so she had to stay at home - despite all the venues, shops and restaurants we visited during the weekend welcoming dogs. Overall, I think we are more used to staying in hotels and whilst this location was sublime, the breakfast just wasnt what we are used to. Probably my bad for not reading the small print.

It is ok for a short stay.
If you like the natural country view, this location is your good choice. There's no en-suit bath room and toilet in our room. The room is big and warm with country view, only a bad impression: there was so dusty under of bedside table. Maybe the cleaner forgot to clean it. The breakfast was OK. No cooking breakfast.

Lovely, relaxing escape
We had such a relaxed and peaceful couple of days away at Gratton Grange Farm B&B. Our room was really quiet with beautiful views. The fridge in our living room was really well stocked and the continental breakfast was plentiful so we didn’t go hungry ever! The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend :)

Beautiful location. We booked the standard room and didn’t like that the bathroom was seperate to our room and felt this should have been made clear. Aside from that, the location is quiet and stunning and is a comfortable stay. Would stay again but would pick a room that had an en suite

Beautiful location, and with better weather a great spot for walking. However, I would not recommend staying here in December, the weather was cold and the bedroom and dining room were not adequately heated, so we were cold in our room and at breakfast. We didn’t see our hosts, and breakfast is very much get it yourself, although there is plenty of food and a good variety. The bedroom is pretty, this is an old farmhouse with plenty of character. Unfortunately we had an uncomfortable nights sleep, as the double bed in room 2 is extremely soft, more like sleeping on a water bed, and every time one of us moved this woke the other up. ( Bed could also do with a mattress protector, not just a sheet.) I imagine staying here would be at its best in the warmer months, and ideal for families with plenty of outdoor space and animals to enjoy.

Lovely room in a very rural and beautiful part of the world. Room was very nice and comfortable with the need to duck a bit for the odd beam (lovely old property) but a very nice stay! Help yourself continental breakfast downstairs but loads of choice!

Fantastic. Gatton Grange is in a beautiful location. The room was lovely with great views, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing a great variety of cereals, fruit tea cakes, crumpets, toast, eggs, baked beans, a number of spreads and toppings, fresh and tinned tomatoes and yogurts. I had bagels, creamed cheese and smoked salmon. Plenty of local walks/hikes. If you like rural and a home from home, this is the place to stay

The property and surroundings were stunning. It was lovely to be among the farm animals and to be able to pet them. The accommodation itself was amazing there was everything we needed and more. The young family that run the b&b and the farm were very friendly and welcoming it felt like we had known them for a long time they couldn’t have been any better. At breakfast we were spoilt for choice there is something for everyone including fresh pastries that are still warm. I would highly recommend a stay here we had a fantastic weekend.
