  A lovely warm welcoming compact accommodation .

  At first we both thought how small but by the end of second day we loved our little home for 7 days. Perfect for our lovely dog Lacey the uncarpeted floors were a blessing so easy to clean. The best part of the house for me was the bedroom with river right outside flowing fast past our window with the window open a delightful sound to fall asleep to. The bed was very comfortable and big. The bathroom with walk in shower was perfect to as was the colour lighting if you so wished. The vegan treats left by Amanda was soo kind and welcome . It rained most of the time but didn't stop us getting out and about. If you turn left from the house and walk about 1.5 miles you come to the Pickled Pheasant I think it's called serves cake and coffee dogs are welcome and from there many walks. We even ran there and back one day it is uphill all the way but manageable for someone in their late 60s and 70s. We also had several evenings in the winking stag ha I think that was the name just over the road from the house again dogs allowed. The area itself is very busy if you like that sort of thing but doesn't take long to find peace. There is a park very close opposite side of road Victoria Park Lacey loved climbing the steps. All in all a lovely Xmas week great communication with owner Amanda and lots of nice touches in her home. Thank you

  A lovely little cottage with probably the best views we've ever had on holiday in the UK.

  You really feel part of the farm as you are so close to the hens and sheep. The people on the farm and in the cafe are very friendly and approachable. When the fridge needs replacing, we would suggest getting one with an ice box as we missed having the opportunity to store a little bit of frozen food and to freeze the ice block for our picnic bag. We think people should be made aware that there can be quite a bit of noise from children (and indeed the parents) when they are squealing and shouting when playing on the equipment built on the back of the piggery. Monday and Tuesday are fine as the cafe and playground are closed then. It is a lovely environment for children visiting the farm for the day, animal petting, nature trails etc so we don't like to appear grumpy but just felt that the description saying 'peaceful new home' could a bit misleading.

  I needed to stay in the Castleton/Hope area for a charity walk for work. After leaving it a bit late to book accommodation, I found this pub at a reasonable price for two nights. We arrived at 7pm, it was easy to find and check in was super easy. The pub was not too busy. Our room (room 3) was suitable for the stay and was as described. The host provided us with additional pillows, milk, and loo roll. We could hear the noise of the people in the pub and outside until about 11pm and then it died down. We had dinner at the pub and the food was absolutely amazing, although it took an hour to arrive at the table after chasing it up. Check out was easy Sunday morning. The pub seemed very quiet and we decided to go for breakfast elsewhere. Overall a satisfactory stay, and perfectly fine for the overnight stay we needed for a walk in the Peak District.

  This is an outstandingly beautiful venue.

  The Piggery is delightful with everything you need and the views out of the window are priceless.The owners are absolutely lovely and welcoming and also a big shout out to the lovely young woman who works in the ice cream parlour who is outstanding in her service and warm and helpful personality. The homemade ice cream with so many different flavours to choose from is the best I have ever tasted.The farm itself is fantastic with an array of animals and there are gorgeous long walks which can be taken directly from the property. I loved my stay and there are many lovely places to visit. It really is an area of outstanding beauty and was very good for the soul. I would highly recommend this heavenly place. A big thank you to the team who made me so welcome and gave me the chance to enjoy the very best that the English countryside has to offer.

  Myself and my girlfriend have been fans of Blaze Farm for a couple of years now.

  Katy and the family who run the farm are really friendly, they will quite happily stand and chat despite being very busy. We have stayed in the Swallows Nest property in the past which was nice and secluded. However the views from the Piggerey are something else, you can quite literally lie in bed and look out at the hills and the scenery. There are plenty of animals on the farm that are really approachable and you can even feed them. They also make homemade icecream on the farm which is delicious, there is also a selection of cakes and sandwiches on offer all at reasonable prices. The farm is honestly one of mine and my girlfriends favourite places!
