Birch Cottage is a four-bedroom farmhouse on Twitchill Farm in the High Peak, arranged across three floors for families or groups of eight. The ground floor holds a living room with smart TV and a kitchen/dining space with electric oven, hob and microwave. Upstairs are four bedrooms—a double and twin on the first floor, then a single and a double-plus-single on the second, along with two bathrooms including an ensuite. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included.
What sets this apart is the private heated swimming pool on site: 8.5m by 4m, available between 08:00 and 19:00, with changing facilities and shower. There is also a sauna, and a steam room available by prior arrangement. Three cars can park on the property, and there is a bike store. A utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer is shared with other properties on site, as is a back garden with furniture and barbecue.
The farm sits above Hope village in the Hope Valley, within the Peak District National Park. The area suits those wanting to walk or explore the surrounding hills and Derbyshire villages. No smoking is permitted in the cottage.

Perfect shepherds hut with everything we needed! Lovely hosts, perfect location for walks/run and the swimming pool and spa made the stay even better. We will be back!

Stayed as part of a big group. Had both cottages side by side. This was beneficial as you share the outdoor space. I wouldn't like going on holiday and sharing the outdoor space so bare that in mind. Kitchen is very small for the numbers of potential people but doable. Real need for more fridge space. Freezer is outside in a barn. Not ideal. Still... Had a grest time. Nice location. Hill is a hard walk after the pub 1km away. The pool is fantastic, slots are booked to be shared again with other guests.

Stunning location, and really liked the first impressions with the Welcome Pack and toiletries! We're here for a birthday trip, and enjoyed a BBQ with a view, unlike many we've seen in the UK before. The room is really well catered for, the bathroom immaculate and looks stunning too. The little Tuck Shop was a quaint and unexpected suprise too, located behind the Shepherds Hut by the swimming pool. The only one thing we would say is the TV could do with an upgrade, as it's quite slow to react, but as we're unlikely to really use it that wasn't an issue. Thanks, and we'd definitely recommend and return!

Beautiful area, stunning reviews, lovely warm pool and all the facilities you could need. We had a great girls weekend here using both cottages. Thanks for having us, we will definitely be back soon.
