About the host
Hosted by Sophie Webb
I grew up in London and relocated with work to Derbyshire. It was after exploring the area that I realised I would never return to city life - the fresh air and freedom of the countryside and hills made me feel alive. I have now been lucky to live in the area for 30 years and in this time I have married and have three wonderful children who have grown up in this glorious part of England!
Our favourite places to walk from Tissington Ford Barn is the Dovedales and Ilam Estate, Tissington, Alstonefield and Mildale, Carsington and the Chatsworth Estate. If you like to venture a bit further then north of Bakewell is some outstanding walks and views. Monsal Head near Ashford On The Water, Curbar and Frogatt Edge, Stanedge Edge near,Hathersage and Kinder Scout are some of the ones which stand out if you are a keen walker. There is also Buxton Town which is another lovely day out with outstanding walks on the North side.

Why they chose this property
Tissington Ford Barn is a Grade II listed stone barn conversion in the Peak District National Park and is a rare find due to its location and beauty. It is set in its own secluded corner alongside a stream and offers guests the ultimate holiday break away. With walks and a cycle path, horse riding on its doorstep and glorious countryside surrounding it, its setting is second to none. Award winning villages are minutes away and Carsington Water which offers various water sports and stunning scenery is around the corner. Tissington Ford Barn is close to two enchanting market towns, Ashbourne and Bakewell and the best stately houses in the UK - Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. If this is not all, Alton Towers, Heights of Abraham, Gullivers Kingdom Theme Parks are all approximately 25 minutes drive away from the Holiday Accommodation. We now offer some very special getaways and packages to include Private chef and dinning at the barn, murder mystery evenings, water painting or cookery classes, spa breaks, massage and therapist, outdoor keep fit classes and other activities.

What makes this property unique
The charming stone barn is in a secluded corner set in its own detached grounds with fabulous views of the Peak District. It really offers you a place to relax and enjoy walks and cycle paths from your door. Venture a little further to Tissington Village a mile away where you will go back in time to the enchanting Hall, church, duck pond and little stone cottages.
There is so many places to visit here in Derbyshire and the area offers the finest stately homes such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Sudbury Hall. Alton Towers Theme Park is only a 30 minute drive away as well as Gullivers Kingdom and The Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath. The pretty market towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne are in easy access as well as Carsington Water and the Dovedales, Ilam only a couple of miles away. Whatever you do during your day, you know that you will be able to relax back at the Barn and enjoy the fine views. There is also an additional picnic area located by a steam a few minutes walk from the property to relax and take in the natural setting with a glass of wine or a morning coffee and newspaper.
Our unique getaway weekend and mid week breaks also offer you the chance to add on some extra services to make your stay totally unique. If you would like a spa break or prefer a beauty therapist to come to you, maybe you would like to try one of our teacher classes such as cookery, water/oil paining and out door keep fit tailored to your time and group, or why not have the stress taken away for your special day by using a private chef to cook for you and your guests a wonderful 5 star dinner without the need of leaving the barn and going to a restaurant? We look forward to welcoming you very soon to Tissington Ford Barn.
