Converted from 18th century farm buildings, the Old Byre offers superb holiday accommodation ideal for a couple. Relax and unwind in a wonderful, peaceful setting.
The cottage is surrounded by some of the most spectacular countryside in the Peak District National Park. You can explore lush, tranquil dales and wild romantic highlands on foot, horse back or by car.
The Manifold Trail which runs below Swainsley Farm (with easy access for pushchairs or wheelchair users) offers just over nine miles of excellent cycling. Fishing, water sports, pony trekking and cycle hire are all available locally.

For those looking for excitement, Alton Towers is within fifteen miles as is Matlock Bath and Chatsworth. There are many National Trust properties, gardens and country houses in the area just waiting to be explored.

' ... just a quickie to say thanks for everything last week, it was a good break for us (despite the weather!) and the Old Byre was very comfortable. And thanks for fitting us in with the days we wanted. We'll recommend your cottages of course and maybe we might even come your way again!' Allan and Wendy Mason
