Smallshaw Cottages - The Farmhouse

Converted from 17th-century barns on a working dairy farm, Smallshaw Cottages - The Farmhouse sits in elevated countryside with views across the Peak District. The property sleeps six across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a private garden and patio looking out over the 2-acre grounds. One dog is welcome. The whole place is yours alone—no other guests sharing the building—though you do have access to shared on-site amenities including a wood-fired hot tub (open 8am to 10pm), tennis court, and a Finnish-style barbecue house available by arrangement.

Indoors, the farmhouse combines original character—exposed beams, stone walls—with comfortable modern living. The ground floor has a sitting room with a 55-inch smart TV, a separate dining room, and a kitchen equipped for real cooking: electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge, microwave. Both woodburners are stocked with initial logs; more cost £5 per basket. Upstairs are three bedrooms: a kingsize with ensuite shower, a super kingsize, and a double. The main bathroom has a bath with shower. Wi-Fi, heating, bed linen, towels and electricity are included; parking for three cars is private.

The site has an on-site spa offering steam rooms, saunas, and treatments like massages and facials. The setting suits families or groups wanting country space with a degree of managed activity nearby—you're close to Sheffield yet on a working farm. No smoking throughout the property.
