We had a lovely stay at the cow shed Green Farm (16 - 22 August 2026) The hosts were lovely and always available although not really needed as everything was very straight forward and well explained at the start of our holiday. We went on many walks on the public footpaths around the farm area and there were plenty more Longer walks for the more adventurous walkers. We took advantage of the on site swimming pool and hot tub which were absolutely fabulous there is an extra charge for the exclusive use of this facility but believe me you will be pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable price, please note you will need to book this facility when your booking is confirmed. The cottage had everything and more you could need for your stay there are lots of leaflets for days out in the area and should you just wish to chill indoors there is a storeroom brimming with DVDs and books. We saw plenty of wild life around the area including a couple of playful Hares in the field directly behind the cowshed, hawks, buzzards, Red Kite and more. Overall view - we will definitely book again and have already recommended to Family and friends.

A 3 night break with my wife in order to visit some National Trust properties and RHS garden schemes. The owners, Mike and Karen, were very welcoming and sociable and the Cowshed accommodation was well appointed and peaceful. The site caters well for dogs, although we did not have one, and there are numerous good walks close by and a handy dog friendly farm shop/cafe within a short walk. There are 3 cottages on site and the other two come with a hot-tub each, the Cowshed does not but for a small additional charge you can get exclusive use of a hot-tub and swimming pool contained in a separate building at the side of the farm house. That was very welcoming at the end of a tiring day exploring! There are two pubs within walking distance, The Pheasant serves a wide variety of food, and shops are a short drive away. Chesterfield is also within easy reach and provides a wider choice of shopping facilities. Access to the property is down a gravel drive from the main road and there is parking available close to each cottage. The property also provides a variety of outside seating areas for casual use or Al Fresco meals. There is also plenty of space to walk and take in the views from within the boundary of the old farm land. I would recommend the Cowshed for the use of couples, with a dog or not, for the perfectly well appointed short stop-over and which is well located in order to visit a variety of towns and villages and recreational pursuits in the area. There is also other cottages on site would provide larger accommodation for the use of families.
