Upper Hurst Farmhouse, Hulme End

What a fabulous place! As soon as you cross the threshold it's impressive. The farmhouse has been modernised to a high specification and finished with taste. Beautiful views and a plethora of walks from the door including pub stops. We were four couples and everybody loved it.

We loved Upper hirst. The house was lovely, had great facilities and was a good location for our visit to Alton Towers.

This is a beautiful property, located in the heart of the Peak District, an area unspoilt, with lovely views from the property out toward the hills. Although quiet, it is not remote. Within a five minute drive the village has a welcoming farm shop, a busy pub do book some way in advance and is within easy reach of many places to explore. And there's lots of walks straight from the front door. The property has been finished to a high standard. As a group of 4 we had plenty of space, and loved relaxing in the lounge on a very comfortable sofa and to come back to a welcome hot tub to dip into. Host was easily contactable, responsive and helpful. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc and you can buy things you need nearby for food etc. High quality bed linen, pillows and very snug in summer so we'd imagine the same in winter! It was lovely to see the sheep in the field opposite and around, the cows and their calves, the owls at night... we're used to their calling to each other as we live in countryside and the owner, with a smile, mentioned leaving out ear plugs in case they ever got too loud! Recommendations The Pack Horse, Longstone near Bakewell by far and away the best pub we ate at the food was exceptionally good, a nice set of choices, in line with pub prices but the quality was excellent from the homemade burger to the moroccan lamb and the bavette steak with a chimichurri sauce was a very popular dish with our group Thor's Cave a short walk from the car park, 20 minutes or so, to see into and clamber up if adventurous with a beautiful view over the valley Alton Towers a day pass was fun for the children who loved it and there was a lot to see and do but the wait times were HUGE! The only way around that is to buy a go fast pass which added considerably to the cost... otherwise we simply would not have seen been able to cover off most of the rides in the park the attached waterpark was by comparison to ones we have visited overseas a disappointment, nothing much by way of rides or adventure and a little run down to be honest For lunch Cottage Kitchen Country Cafe near Leek has a terrific range of freshly made items including quiche and soup... and was again very popular For wandering around Bakewell fun and always nice to try either the tart or cake and lots of shops to stock up on supplies For a treat the Tagg Lane Dairy does the most amazing ice creamsgelato and is well worth a stop is near Bakewell really takes it to the next level! And lastly, down in Hartington itself, near the farm shop there is also a cheese shop with a wide range of cheeses....

This was a high end property and the owners had thought of everything almost! a couple of extra chopping boards would be great, but Im being picky! The beds were super comfortable and the decor was beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend this great cottage to any of my friends.

Fabulous accommodation & very well equipped. The surrounding area was wonderful. We enjoyed waking up to beautiful views of the hilltop from the master ensuite. We will definitely be back.

A fabulous property ideal for a multi generational family holiday. Well equipped and very comfortable. The hot tub was great as we were fortunate to have very good weather. A wonderful family break.

Absolutely stunning farmhouse with everything you could wish for. Easy to find and fantastic parking for several vehicles. Has that wow factor when you walk in with very generous welcome gifts including beer, wine, biscuits, milk and orange juice. Much appreciated. Fantastic kitchendiner providing everything you need and more. Small and large fridge, hob, oven, microwave oven, air fryer. Lovely dining and sitting area with lots of games to entertain you. Every room has a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside including the beautiful and comfortable lounge, the four spacious bedrooms, one with en suite. Lovely large family bathroom and a further shower room on the ground floor. Last but not leastthe amazing hot tub! We enjoyed some very special family time in the hot tub after our day out in gorgeous Dovedale and treated ourselves to a Bakewell pudding whilst in Bakewell. On recommendation by the lovely owner we had an exceptional day at the Peak Wildlife Park where we were privileged to see many animals but the highlight was the two Polar Bears frolicking in the water and tussling with each other, spectacular

A beautiful house with loads of room for the 7 of us and very well equipped. It has been renovated to a high standard and was very comfortable. It's also in a great position being close to lots of lovely pubs and also cycle routes. We'll definitely come again.

The farmhouse is very luxurious and had everything imaginable to make our February stay comfortable and cosy. We particularly loved the beautiful views and how well situated the property is for exploring a lovely part of the Peak District.

What a fantastic property. The owners have clearly gone to great lengths to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Excellent facilities, hot tub, kitchen and everything else. Thank you!

Absolutely loved our stay. Amazing house, had everything we needed and was so comfortable. We are already booking to go back.

Such a beautiful property, we enjoyed our weekend so much. Really well stocked kitchen and everything about the house oozed quality. Thank you so much

A really excellent property, with all the comforts you could ask for. We six adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay there in NovemberDecember, although I imagine it would be even better in the summer, with better weather to take advantage of walks. We didn't have any negatives about this property, and if opportunity permits would have no hesitation in visiting again.

A really lovely house with fantastic views in a delightful area. The house was immaculate and a joy to occupy for the week

Lovely property, everything we needed was there. Very comfortable, cosy, clean & we loved the hot tub! Great base for walks & exploring with nice welcoming pub within walking distance. Thank you for a great stay!

Stunning house with views from the front over open Countryside. Modern inside with everything you would need and maintained to a very high standard. Spotlessly clean. Great location.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay. The property is exactly as described, id say even better in person. The views are incredible and it is in such an idea location. The property owners are so lovely & extremely accommodating. We would definitely stay again

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the farmhouse. The house itself is beautiful and well stocked. The high ceiling bedrooms are superb and the views are breathtaking. The farmhouse is secluded enough that we really enjoyed the peace and quiet, having great skies at night to watch satellites and shooting stars, but also it's a short walk from attractions, pubs, gorgeous walks. The hot tub was just the perfect way to relax after a day of discovering the surroundings. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.

Absolutely stunning house! Super clean, super well kept, stunning views. We was welcomed with a box of biscuits and a bottle of prosecco on arrival which was lovely! Definitely will be making another booking! 1010 all round, highly highly recommend.

This was a fantastic stay. Everything perfect and didnt want to leave the property is so nice. Special touches added which proves how high the standards are. Real character and the hosts lovely people too. There is nothing to complain about as its so fantastic.

We had a fabulous weekend and couldnt have asked for a better house to stay in. The way the house has been decorated and everything in was absolutely fabulous. It was so comfortable and the hot tub was also an excellent addition after a long walk! We will definitely be back and cant recommend this house enough for anyone looking in this area.
