About this property

Finest Retreats | Blackton Farmhouse

Blackton Farmhouse has been fully renovated and thoughtfully repurposed to create a luxurious yet welcoming retreat, perfect for bringing people together. Sleeping up to 18 guests across eight beautifully designed bedrooms, this pet-friendly property features facilities such as a wood fired hot tub, cinema room, games room and private terraces offering incredible views across 11 acres of land.



Inside you will find a spacious, fully equipped kitchen and dining area, ideal for hosting large gatherings, celebratory meals, or relaxed breakfasts with the whole group. The adjoining living areas provide a stylish setting, complete with open fires that create a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. For entertainment, guests can enjoy a dedicated games room with a bar area—perfect for evenings of friendly competition or unwinding with a drink. The cinema room offers a more immersive experience, allowing you to settle in for movie nights in ultimate comfort, making the farmhouse as enjoyable indoors as it is outside.



Step outside to take in sweeping countryside views and enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the private garden. Whether you're dining al fresco, relaxing in the hot tub, or simply enjoying the fresh air, the outdoor space is designed to be just as memorable as the interiors.



Upstairs, the farmhouse offers eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, privacy, and stunning views. Five of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, while the remaining three have access to two shared shower rooms and additional WCs on the same level. The standout master suite features a super king-sized bed, private balcony, and panoramic views that can be enjoyed from both the bed and a luxurious free-standing bath. Other rooms offer a mix of king-sized and twin beds, with some including additional single beds—ideal for families or flexible group arrangements. Each bedroom is finished with luxury bedding and complimentary toiletries, ensuring every guest enjoys a restful and indulgent stay.



Blackton Farmhouse is perfectly positioned for those looking to explore the great outdoors or simply unwind in a spectacular setting. Located within a designated Dark Skies Discovery Site, it offers incredible stargazing opportunities right from your doorstep. With direct access to the Pennine Way, walkers and nature lovers can enjoy miles of scenic trails, while the surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for cycling, wildlife spotting, and photography. Further afield, you'll find charming villages, traditional pubs, and local attractions that showcase the character of the region, making this an ideal base for both adventure and relaxation.
