About Slate House Farm
Stake your claim at Slate House Farm, a tiny working farm hideaway nine miles from Chesterfield where a handful of well-equipped pods enjoy sweeping views across the Derbyshire countryside. Each comes with its own ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, double bed and TV – plus you're welcome to fire up a barbecue or campfire outside. Guests consistently praise the peaceful setting, the warm welcome and those panoramic vistas.
The location puts ancient market towns, grand estates and a web of walking and cycling trails on your doorstep. Matlock lies within three and a half miles, while the Heights of Abraham cable car is a 20-minute drive. Family days out are well catered for: Chatsworth House sits within 10 miles, Gulliver's Kingdom within eight, and Alton Towers just under an hour away. Anglers can cast off about a mile down the road. It's a small site that never feels crowded – perfect for those craving a rural retreat with modern comforts.

What visitors say
What an amazing find! This glamping site deserves to be busier. An ideal location to relax, unwind and watch the world go by. The pods are ideal for 2 adults and a child, with all the amenities you really need. Bed mattress is soft......but very comfortable, we slept like logs both nights . The hosts are fabulous, so warm and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. There is a small farm shop on site, offering all you need plus some nice local produce . Based on a working farm, you get all the farmyard animal noises you would expect, and it's better for it. Adds a sense of remoteness . Highly recommended, we will visit again .

We have just got back from a 2 night stay and it was absolutely incredible. Toni and her family can’t do enough for you and it made it a spectacular trip for our little girl. Toni was so kind letting our daughter into the stables, she helped muck out and feed the horses. The access to all the animals was so cool, having chickens just run around was brilliant. This is a hidden gem and somewhere we are going to spend many weekends in the future.

We had a fantastic two-night stay! The pod was incredibly clean, cosy, and perfectly set up for a relaxing break. A huge thank you to the friendly and helpful team who truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. If you’re looking for a peaceful and personalised stay, this is the perfect spot. We’ll definitely be back!

Loved our stay! Facilities were perfect. We managed a full fry up and then a steak dinner in our little pod. Top tip - bring slippers! We stayed in February and had snow so the floor was cold.
