The Peak District is England’s ultimate playground for walkers, climbers, cavers and anyone who simply loves the great outdoors. Tucked away near the Dane Valley Way on the Cheshire–Staffordshire border, The Barn at Cliff Hollins Farm offers tranquil, off-the-beaten-track charm within the National Park – all the beauty, without the crowds. Equestrian guests are also welcome to bring their own horses, with stabling for two provided on-site.

Expect spectacular views, especially from the garden terrace at sunset, across grazing livestock and woodland to the distinctive hill of Shutlingsloe and the rocky outcrops of The Roaches and Hanging Stone. The Barn has been newly converted into charming accommodation for six, with one of three bedrooms en-suite and wheelchair accessible on the ground floor. 

Contemporary conveniences include underfloor heating, high-speed internet, and a very well-equipped, custom-built kitchen, while the modern rustic decorative theme gives a warm, homely atmosphere. The dining and living areas are spacious, and there’s even a separate workstation. Local attractions include the Peak Wildlife Park, Alton Towers theme park, and Madrenaline Activities, with choices such as zorbing, segway safaris, axe throwing and archery. 

For a gentler experience, owners Nic & Debbie say: “We’re a hobby farm with a small flock of sheep, peacocks, chickens, guinea fowl, and we are very happy to introduce guests to our animals.”
