Farnah House Barn

About this property

Farnah House Barn rests on the outskirts of Duffield in Derbyshire, offering a well-presented and welcoming retreat for couples or friends keen on a peaceful countryside break without feeling too far from the action. Step inside and you’re greeted by a spacious open-plan living area, where the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces flow together to create a relaxed, sociable hub. It’s the sort of place where muddy boots are kicked off after a day in the Derbyshire Dales and evenings are spent gathered around the woodburning stove, which adds a proper cosy touch when the temperature dips. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for easy self-catering, whether that’s a quick breakfast before heading out or a hearty supper on your return.

Two king-size bedrooms, both with zip/link flexibility and en-suite walk-in showers, provide a comfortable and adaptable arrangement suited to different group types, offering privacy alongside convenience. Outside, the enclosed garden features a patio, lawn, outdoor furniture and a hot tub, ideal for morning coffee in the fresh air or a long soak beneath the evening sky. Designated parking for two cars keeps things straightforward, and with pets welcome, dogs can make the most of the surrounding countryside too. Duffield is nearby for village shops, pubs and riverside walks, while Belper offers independent cafés and a slice of industrial heritage. Ashbourne is within driving distance for its historic market town charm, and Matlock provides access to scenic walks and attractions around the edge of the Peak District.

With rolling landscapes and characterful towns close at hand, Farnah House Barn makes a fine base for exploring Derbyshire at your own pace.

The upmarket village of Duffield is set just south of Belper and is home to some fantastic attractions and a number of pubs and restaurants. Visit the remains of Duffield Castle, play a round at Chevin Golf Club or explore one of the numerous walks in the area. Nearby Belper is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now you'll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Just 14 miles away, the popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions.
