Family-friendly vacation rentals in Derbyshire Dales District

Great spot for visting family in Bradford

Just got back from a great stay at Jennie's Cottage. It was clean and homely with lots of suggestions in the book for places to visit and eat at. wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Thank You

Such a beautiful and private space with quality furnishings. Everything you may have forgotten is available in the property, all towels and linens fresh and clear instructions throughout. Overall a beautiful place to stay, we will be back and are very grateful to Scott for allowing us to create special memories.

Magical weekend away! This Airbnb was absolutely beautiful and surrounded by nature. It was really easy to get to by car. Emma greeted us on arrival and helped us get settled in—she even left us a birthday treat for our celebration, which was such a lovely touch! The Airbnb had everything we needed, including wood for the hot tub and fire. It was the perfect escape from city life and felt like a little adventure. There are some great walks just behind the main house, and lots of pubs nearby. We luckily got to hear owls in the evening, which made the whole experience feel magical. A very memorable weekend that felt truly special. We’d highly recommend staying here and would love to visit again!

A wonderful set up at Ford Whetley. Idea for walking in the Peak District and great pubs with food within easy reach (recommend pubs at Onecote and the Black Lion at Butterton.) Louise was a great help in advance of our arrival and communicated really effectively. A beautiful area of the country. Would recommend this cottage to anyone - you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Louise!

This was a fantastic place to stay, the owners are very friendly as are all the animals that we got to meet while visiting! Would highly recommend and would definitely be happy to stay again on future visits to the area.

Splendid stay at Susan’s place. A true experience of the countryside, the nearby towns were lovely. Susan was responsive and attended to our needs, the place was clean and we had a comfortable stay. The barn over looks a beautiful view. Perfect and would 100% recommend!

Lovely clean gorgeous barn, ideal location with everything we needed to spend the weekend without leaving but equally we enjoyed walking to two local pubs. Adam communicated well and was accommodating to our needs. Perfect weekend break

Lizzie is a great host with a beautiful home. My family and I enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in future.

Lovely cottage in a good location. Spent Easter weekend here with my two sons and the property was very comfortable and had everything we needed as did the town of Wirksworth. Great base for exploring the area.

Great spot, perfect for exploring Buxton and the surrounding area. Lovely house and although the bedrooms are a tad small we only needed them to sleep in and that was more than made up for in the excellent kitchen, garden and living areas. Perfect for a girlie getaway! Grace was a great host, very responsive to messages. Some basic kitchen bits and bobs (including mini milk bottle!) were a nice touch. Would stay again

After a rocky start to the weekend, we found this gem of a flat. Hosts were amazing and Heather was so welcoming. The flat is so peaceful and has everything you could need. Maybe some curtains in the living area would be useful. The small little touches such as milk, teas and coffees were a lovely surprise. We will definitely be booking this when we are visiting Manchester next.

We had a lovely 4 nights stay at the cottage with our two dogs. The cottage was clean and we had everything we would need for our stay, including wood for the log burner. The enclosed garden was a nice place to sit and enjoy wonderful views and to watch the sunset with a glass of wine. Castleton is only a 15min walk along a footpath from the rear of the cottage and there are plenty of places to eat and drink in the village. We will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended 👌

From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was second to none. We were warmly welcomed into a spotless, beautifully kept space — it was immaculately clean from top to bottom, with every room feeling fresh, tidy, and inviting. What really stood out were the thoughtful touches throughout. Everything we could possibly need was already there — from fully stocked kitchen items to fresh towels and toiletries. There were even little extras for our dog, which we truly appreciated — it’s not often you find a place that goes out of its way to make pets feel as welcome as their owners! The owner checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going well, which was a lovely gesture and made us feel genuinely looked after. Overall, it was a perfect experience. Impeccably clean, fully equipped, pet-friendly, and hosted with true care — we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend it to others.

Thank you Jane, Welcomed upon arrival. We’d had a long journey & Jane came over briefly and explained everything to us concisely & wished us a lovely stay! Superb location that included beautiful strolls along the fields! Great for walking & getting lost in the beautiful scenery. Jane’s place was spotless! Bedding & towels were lovely. Could not find one downside anywhere. The waterfall Three Shires is a five minute drive (cafe along the roadside). We parked up & took a lovely hour stroll to find it! Our first trip to a waterfall & not the last. Very attractive place & great location. The village of Leek was around a 10 minute drive & has everything in it that you need! Thank you Jane.

Sharon accommodated us very last minute & made us feel very welcome throughout our 5 day stay. The accommodation is quite small, but the location is really lovely, on the edge of the Peak District. Lots of walks and lovely pubs nearby.

This was our second time at Phils, first time to celebrate my 70th second time for my husbands 75th. When I asked my family where they wanted to celebrate my husbands 75th birthday it was Phils place. Its perfect for our multi-generational family, amples of space and the pool and hot tub are the icing on the cake. We all had the best time and we made lots of memories. Thank you Phil for the use of your lovely home.

Our third stay at the Shippon and our two autistic boys treat it like a home from home. So relaxing I didn’t want to leave. Our youngest loves water and animals so swimming, hot tub, fussing the lovely dogs, feeding Monty the horse carrots, all while being followed around by the chickens. He was in heaven! A great base for visiting family and lots to do nearby if we want to. This time we went to hoo farm, but we were generally all happy to stay at the Shippon. The Shippon is spotless and to cosy and comfortable. Our dogs love sitting on the patio watching the world go by and Newport dog park is literally a 5-10 minute walk and they love it. Thanks so much Sara and Phil, you are always so helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. The space is great and as an extra bonus, you get to use a heated pool and brilliant games room. We went early Jan and there was loads of snow, as well as pretty cold temperatures, but the house warmed up very quickly and we were always more than comfortable. The property is close enough to Bakewell for a short drive or taxi ride, should you want to venture into town. We're thinking about going back in the summer.

Great host excellent communication and lovely apartment thanks again

What a wonderful stay at Manor Farm. The house was beautiful, well maintained, extremely spacious and very comfortable. The surrounding countryside was stunning, with great food being served in nearby pubs and plenty of places to visit. Great space for youngsters too, with the wildlife - baby rabbits, sheep and birds and of course the swimming pool and games room, all of which they loved. Thanks to the hosts for their welcome and hospitable atmosphere.

Great value for money. Can't stress enough how friendly and reliable the staff were. We had a lovely week stay, the house was clean, the beds were comfy and the scenery was perfect. We were informed of the booking system for the swimming pool and games room, so you could have the room to yourself which was great. The pool was clean, the games room was kept tidy and the house surroundings were really lovely to walk around. You can tell the grounds were well maintained and kept in good shape as the workers never stopped, but were always so friendly. This property is perfect for bike riders, walkers and pub crawlers. You couldn't get bored.

Our stay at this beautiful house was most enjoyable. It's very rural. You can't really walk to places if you have young children. Not alot of footpaths. But if you want a nice quiet time to recharge your batteries this is the place. So relaxing. Well worth a visit. Will go back. Thank You. Chris and Hugh Maxwell and Family. 🥰

Had the most amazing time at this cottage, was exactly what we needed for a long weekend break. The cottage was exactly as described and as shown in the photos, we also recover the most thoughtful welcome basket that contacted a variety of snack as well two beautiful cards celebrating my birthday as well as my recent engagement. The area is absolutely beautiful with such beautiful restaurants and cafes, the area is also rich with history. The locals are very chatty and helpful, the scenery was to die for. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for such an amazing time.
