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.
Beautiful house, so lovely and warm with everything we needed set in a spectacular location. Despite the wind and rain we had a great time and managed to do some lovely walks in the better days.
We booked anlast minute 2 night break for ourselves and our 8 and 5 year old. The cottage was perfect, had everything we needed and was in a beautiful location. The children loved seeing the animals around the house. Would highly recommend
Had a lovely holiday, cottage was great, views were great, and our host Jo was great. Was a great location for all the day trips and lovely to come back to. We all had a really happy stay!
The Property is situated perfectly in the peaks with amazing panoramic views. You are surrounded by peaks, big skies & wildlife as well as the permanent residence on the Farm, horses, sheep (shout out to Jack the Ram, friendliest sheep I have met) & chickens. Inside the cottage is cosy, well equipped & clean. Beds are comfy, 2 bathrooms always a bonus & it's quiet. We are already planning our next trip.
Snipe Cottage is warm, comfortable and has an outside area where a dog can happily enjoy a game of catch-that-stick. The views are impressive and the location gives easy access to Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and other smaller places. Great eateries nearby!
The cottage is in the perfect location for walking, accessing local attractions and for relaxing! It had everything you would need and more - and was a brilliant location for my partner and our dogs to enjoy some r&r before new year! Thank you!
This may be an old barn but it has been beautifully renovated and is a spacious, comfortable and cosy place to stay while in the Peak District. It is in a stunning location and Jo made us feel very welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay.
We stayed in Snipe Cottage which was lovelyâŠa home from home with everything you need! Itâs warm and comfortable and in a beautiful locationâŠlovely being on the farm with friendly sheep and seeing the horses was great too. Would definitely book to stay again. Thank you!
A lovely property, well appointed and plenty of space for 4 adults.Stunning views and a very pleasant outside seating area.We have been very lucky with an incredibly warm Spring stay, however even in the coldest weather you wont be chilly inside.The bed is the most comfortable ive ever slept in in a holiday rental, petfect for a wonderful nights sleep after hiking through the peaks.Great hosts, unobtrusive but nearby should you need them.WIFI and 4G is patchy, what a wonderful week to not be tied to devices, and get out and explore all this area has to offerI 100% woukd recommend this gem
We loved our stay here. The view was great with relaxing surroundings. Loved seeing the horses, sheep and chickens. Jo was a great host. Thank you from us and Pumpkin!
We had a fantastic time staying in Snipe Cottage. The cottage had pretty much everything we needed, and was cozy and comfortable. Joanne was very friendly and helpful. The farm is located in a fabulous spot, and our kids loved the friendly sheep. We'll definitely be coming back.
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Just like home from home.
Host was very welcoming and very helpful.
Couldnât fault the place, everything you needed for a perfect stay.
A great central location to travel to areas around.
We will definitely be back as we still have so much to see around the area.
Everything you would need for a short (or Long) getaway. Very welcoming hosts- nothing too much trouble. An incredible escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Highly recommended.
The location is close to many white peak walks. The accommodation is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and two bathrooms with powerful showers. Jo, the owner welcomed on arrival and was incredibly helpful when we needed her advice. Will certainly look to visit again
A really lovely cottage with outstanding views and super cosy underfloor heating! Really well equipped and spacious for a family. Bonus being the wonderful tap water (same source as the famed Buxton water)..delicious! Very welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts. Will definitely return!
A lovely place to stay - the cottage was well equipped, in a peaceful setting, very cosy during the cold weather and also close to everywhere we wanted to visit. Thank you.
We were four adults (parents and 2 adult daughters) staying in Snipe Cottage in early July 2024.
Nice and clean house, we enjoyed stunning views from the cottage and loved seeing horses, sheep, and chickens around.
However, the double and the single sofa in the living room were a bit tight for 4 adults to sit comfortably, and a coat hanger by the entrance would have been useful.
Overall had a lovely time.
