Beautifully laid out over a single level, the living space is sociable and open plan, with just a couple of steps leading up to the bedroom. Guests will appreciate the warm hospitality of the farm owners who live onsite. Friendly resident dogs, cockerels, and free-roaming chickens enhance the authentic farm experience.

Located on the Tame Valley Loop, guests are invited to explore right from the doorstep on foot or by bike, with secure bike storage available. Using mostly off-road tracks, there are three routes to choose from, depending on your skill level: 3.5, 10, or 18 miles in distance. After your adventure, indulge in some food and drinks at the 17th-century country inn, just a mile down the road. You can also challenge yourself with the Stalybridge Three Peaks, explore Swineshaw or Dovestones Reservoir, or enjoy a picnic at Stalybridge Country Park. Ashton Under Lyne Golf Club is within easy reach, and the vibrant city of Manchester is a mere 15-minute train journey from Stalybridge (2 miles). The Peak District National Park also beckons with its stunning landscapes, hiking trails, and quaint villages.
