About this property

Luxury barn in Peak District National Park - peaceful with great views

The 17th Century Farm and Barn are built of local pink stone in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Our scenic rural location is surrounded by acres of fields and woods - our only neighbours being sheep, wild birds, and our rescue hens. Perfect for large families or groups of friends to enjoy a healthy break away from it all with
clean fresh air, starry skies, no passing cars or people. There are many beautiful walks from the doorstep – one favourite is a circular route along the nearby spectacular Roaches ridge via picture-perfect Wincle and its excellent country pub the Ship Inn.

High Ridge Barn is architect designed and recently renovated throughout to provide luxurious modern and comfortable self-catering accommodation with superb views across Swythamley valley.

The enormous double-height barn has 4 double bedrooms sleeping up to 8 people plus babes in arms, 2 of which can be arranged as large singles or king/super king sized beds. 3 bathrooms mean no queues for the loo! The living/dining room with Scandi log-burner leads directly from the new high-end kitchen equipped with Neff appliances and is so well equipped our guests tell us we have things here they didn’t know they needed! Everything from super-fast broadband to 1,000 thread bed linen to fluffy towels, bathrobes, slippers and logs down to an oyster shucker – High Ridge Barn has it all.

The Barn has private half-acre landscaped dog-secure gated and fenced gardens and parking for up to 5 cars. There’s a large wood-fired outdoor sauna, a BBQ, secure bike storage, and a dog grooming cabin with all the mod cons. Up to 4 pets are very welcome.

For special occasions please ask for details of our Celebration Packages. Fantastic bespoke cakes from an expert local baker, wonderful flowers courtesy our skilled and creative florist, bunting, balloons - all ready for your arrival. At Christmas the Barn is decorated with a real tree, dog-safe decorations, oodles of warm white fairy lights, illuminated wreaths and lots of festive Scandi decorations and LED candles.

Leek is a mere 15-minute drive away and has a great selection of supermarkets and award-winning restaurants, takeaways and deliveries.

If you do need to work without disturbing the rest of your group, we'll set up one of the four bedrooms as an office with a desk, Anglepoise lamp, colour printer and a Herman Miller ergonomic chair. Zoom and Teams meetings are easy courtesy the superfast broadband.

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Rosie

Host profile image
Having lived in central London for most of our adult lives, we couldn't wait to move here to the Peak District, which we have been enjoying for the best part of 40 years.

Why they chose this property

We bought High Ridge in 2016, and for two years provided just about every tradesman in the area with gainful employment renovating, modernising, landscaping, improving and refurbishing High Ridge.

Of all the properties we viewed, High Ridge stood out for its fabulously quiet rural location and wonderful views with easy access to countryside walks. We can pop in to Leek and bring back fish and chips still hot, and Ocado, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons all deliver here, as does the excellent award-winning Indian restaurant Pabna. The local pub The Ship in Wincle does great food, as does the Lazy Trout in nearby Meerbrook.

It's a great place to live, and a great place to stay for a week or a weekend.

What makes this property unique

After a bracing walk or cycle ride, what could be better than unwinding in a sauna? Located in your extensive private garden is a modern Scandi wooden sauna pod with authentic Harvia wood-burning heater and separate changing area. Just give us a couple of hours notice and we will prepare your sauna for walk-in readiness. We provide hammam towels, sauna slippers, sauna oils and water pail, sauna timer and bottles of local Crag spring water. There is a hot and cold water shower pod next to the sauna for cooling off.

The very large landscaped private gardens include a spacious York stone terrace with wonderful country views to enjoy with your outdoor dining or BBQ (large and smaller Weber BBQs with cooking tools and charcoal provided). There is seating for 8 at our bespoke garden table with parasol and benches.

As dog owners ourselves we recognise that a dog-friendly holiday needs to be properly dog-friendly. We have converted one of the stables into a dog grooming parlour equipped with a professional walk-in electric-lift dog bath, heated shower, grooming table with pet hairdryer and grooming items including brush, comb and Wahl almond shampoo. Inside the barn you will find dog beds (small, medium, large and enormous), dog food and water bowls, throws for the furniture, spare collars and leads with High Ridge Barn ID tags, and a pet first aid kit. Plus organic dog treats which are loved by all dogs!

We know that work commitments often interrupt a holiday so why not work from High Ridge Barn in your own dedicated holiday HQ without disturbing your fellow guests. We will convert one of the four bedrooms into an office with a modern desk, an ergonomic Herman Miller chair, and an anglepoise lamp. The superfast broadband makes Zoom and Teams meetings easy and if someone's droning on you can always enjoy the view!
