Both are full of character with individual, impressive features such as beamed, vaulted ceilings and exposed stone. There’s the luxury addition of underfloor heating to the ground floor and externally there’s an enclosed space, allowing any small children and four-legged companions to frolic freely and safely. A private parking space with EV chargers is available for each property, for cycling enthusiasts there’s bike storage and there’s even facilities to wash dogs, bikes and muddy boots meaning your companions and equipment can return from outdoor adventures clean and refreshed. This property is on a working farm, towards the end of March and ongoing for approximately 4 weeks guests may be lucky enough to witness lambing seasons with newborn lambs being born and the opportunity to feed them.
Litton is a small, delightful village with the quintessential traditional charm of the Peak District. Expect stone cottages, friendly locals, idyllic surroundings, and a peaceful, tranquil escape. Next door to the cottages you’ll find a small village shop, and a good food serving pub across the road. Extensive walking and cycling is available direct from the door.

Around a 25-minute drive and nestled amidst the picturesque countryside is Edale. A haven for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, you can start your journey on the Pennine Way from here and experience the breathtaking beauty of Kinder Scout and the surrounding hills. Just over half an hour is Matlock, a lovely town on the edge of the Peak District that offers a mix of history, shops, and cafes.

Whether you’re seeking an adventure-filled getaway or a serene retreat, these incredible barn conversions provide the perfect base for you to experience the wonders of the Peak District and create cherished memories.

What a fantastic break! We loved the accommodation and exploring the village. The private garden and dog wash were fantastic. We had a great lunch at the local pub, the kids enjoyed the village park as well as some beautiful places to walk. Ive already booked to go back next year! Thank you so much.

The cottage was absolutely perfect.
The cottage was absolutely perfect. It would be almost impossible to find any fault. The local pub was excellent and the little shop surprisingly well stocked and decent value. I would also recommend the chip shop in Tideswell.Great for dogs and it would also be a great cottage if you have children with the enclosed garden and the safely gated livestock on site.

Absolutely stunning accommodation and had everything we needed and more.
Absolutely stunning accommodation and had everything we needed and more. Lovely and quiet, great pub opposite for food. Enclosed garden for our dog. Great base to explore the Peak District with some great walks. Both Robert and Tracy very friendly and accommodating. I really can’t rate the accommodation any higher-it’s a beautiful barn conversion done so well.
