Burrs Farm is the antidote to boring family get-togethers, and the answer to your prayers if you have to organise a holiday for a large group of people who all want something different from their time away. The luxurious farmhouse sits within three private acres of pristine Peak District countryside, remote from other people yet within walking distance of the Church Inn pub in Chelmorton and a five-minute drive from the award-winning Royal Oak. It is also close to great attractions like Bakewell, Buxton and Chatsworth House.
Chelmorton is a lovely village so typical of the Peak District National Park, with limestone walls and stunning scenery. Being one the highest villages in England means it benefits from amazing views, including of the White Peak. There is a quirky stone telephone box in the village, but the main attraction is the countryside and the walking trails in the area. Buxton is five miles from Burrs Farm, which is an easy fifteen minute drive or a pleasant cycle. It is a fantastic place with beautiful buildings that reflect its popularity as a Georgian spa town. The best way to see its fabulous architecture is by following the circular walk that takes you through the Pavilion Gardens and Opera House and past the Victorian letterbox.
Bakewell is smaller than Buxton but still great for shopping, especially if you want to sample the local Bakewell tart at its source. It is nine miles or a twenty minute drive from Burrs Farm, and has a fantastic array of pubs and restaurants if you want a night off cooking. The town has held a regular market since 1330, and you can shop there on Monday from early morning until around 3pm. Matlock, Ashbourne, Derby, Macclesfield and Sheffield are all other excellent places to visit for a day out if you like shopping or need a good wet-weather destination.
As luxurious and stylish as Burrs Farm is, it pales in comparison to Chatsworth House. The beauty of the Grade I listed “house” is breathtaking, as are the gardens and parkland. It offers a full day out with a small farmyard and playground for the kids, superb places to eat, stunning collections of art and furniture, and a gift shop that leaves others in the shade. If Chatsworth doesn’t make you want to re-read Pride and Prejudice, nothing will!
There are a wealth of footpaths, bridleways, and mountain bike trails, including the famous Monsal Trail, nearby, as well as National Trust properties and country houses, shops, restaurants and family-run country pubs serving exceptional food and local ale. Burrs Farm sleeps up to twenty people in seven magnificently appointed bedrooms and, with features like a hot tub, Footgolf course, and an enormous country kitchen with a range cooker, it will make you feel like you’re on the set of a shoot for Tatler magazine.
