| Riding House Farm is a traditional Derbyshire hill farm rearing
beef and sheep. It nestles under the Losehill Ridge with wonderful
south facing views across the Hope Valley. It is a walkers'
paradise with direct access to the footpath network.
Riding House Farm is a working farm of 140 acres. If you
bring your wellies you will be able to see the newborn lambs
in Spring, visit the calf house and even feed the hens! There
is an abundance of wildlife around especially in our own secluded
bluebell wood.
Milkmaid's Cottage is a lovely spacious one-bedroom
cottage with a 6' bed. It has two bathrooms and an optional
double sofa bed in the sitting room for occasional use.
Shepherd's Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage, one double
and one twin, with two bathrooms. It is ideal for four people.
Many of the original old beams still feature in this cottage.
Both cottages are furnished and equipped to the same high
standard with careful attention to detail to make your stay
memorable. Each cottage has full central heating and double
glazing, two bathrooms: one upstairs with a bath, basin and
WC, and a downstairs shower room with basin and WC.
With TV, CD, DVD in the cosy sitting rooms and oven hob,
microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer in the kitchen areas
everything is provided for you. There is also an adjacent
laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer for your
free use. Outside is your private parking area with seating
to enjoy a barbecue and drink, enjoying the view across the
valley.
From your doorstep you can take the footpath directly to
Lose Hill Ridge and enjoy another spectacular view over the
Edale Valley to the famous Kinder Scout. David and Denise
Matthews have farmed at Riding House for over 20 years. They
are the modern day Shepherd and Milkmaid! If needed, they
will be on hand to help you make the most of your stay in
the Peak District National Park.
The Hope Valley is an ideal base for exploring the treasures
of the Peak District. In addition to the wonderful scenery,
there are numerous attractions including nearby Castleton
caves and castle, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and the plague
village of Eyam. If you have any energy left after walking
the hills, the Hope Valley offers climbing, cycling, pony
trekking, swimming, angling, gliding and parascending. Or
why not just relax!
