We had a wonderful week at Fernyford. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. A very warm welcome from Dorota, Neil and Barney. Our children 11 & 12 had a wonderful time - feeding the animals with Barney in the morning and playing in the fields for hours on end. Happy children - happy parents. The barn is ideally located for wonderful walks and Leek is only a short drive away with lots of lovely shops to explore. There are some wonderful eating places around that can be easily driven to. The barn is decorated to a very high spec. with all the mod cons and very homely additions, its just lovely....we will be back..
Neil and Dorota made us very welcome, the cottage was very cosy and had all we needed. Sparkle the cat was a regular visitor ! The Belted Galloway steaks were top notch,very tasty.Thank you very much.

we had a wonderful couple of weeks staying in the cottage. Neil and Doota were fantastic hosts and couldn't have done more to make sure we had a fantastic holiday. The animals were very friendly and were very happy around our 9 month old the farm felt like it was in the middle of nowhere but was within easy driving distance of all the main attractions. The cottage is well equipped and the rooms, especially the bedrooms, are sizeable. We look forward to returning when our daughter is old enough to appreciate it!

We spent half term at Fernyford Barn with our two children (8 and 6). It was the most perfect place to explore the delights of the Peak District. The barn itself is beautiful, spacious and equipped with everything you could need. Neil and Dorota were brilliant hosts and happy to tell us all about the farm.
We would recommend Fernyford Barn without hesitation and look forward to staying again next time we visit the Peak District.

My wife and I stayed at the farm with our 4 month old baby and we had an amazing time at the hotel. The accomodation is advertised as being baby friendly and I'm pleased to say it definitely was as a baby bath and cot were provided and there was even an offer to organise baby sitting if we wanted it!
The accomodation is finished to a high standard and is well equipped with the various things you might need for a holiday. However, its the location and the people that really make this a special place to stay. The farm is located in what feels like the middle of nowhere so its the perfect place to escape the world of office work, yet there are plenty of things to do near by and there are a number of good pubs within driving distance that serve good food. That being said, Neil and Dorota butcher the farms meat on site, so there's a plentiful supply of sausages, burgers and steaks on site that will make you want to cook your own meals rather than head to the pubs. If you stay here I'de definitely recommend the meat balls! They were amazing!
Neil and Dorota were brilliant hosts and were always around to say hello and check we had everything we needed. They also went the extra mile with little things, like letting us know they were going to be sheering their rare breed sheep from Switzerland, so that we could go and watch. I can safely say that our baby daughter was blown away by this!
I'd definitely stay here again (even if its just to taste the meat balls again!) and would thoroughly recommend this for people with families who are looking to escape to the countryside for a bit.

An excellent cottage on a working farm, the cottage was very well equipped, warm and very comfortable. (It was better than 5 star cottages we have stayed in.) The experience was exceptional, our daughter loved the farm and helping with the animals, she tells people it is the best holiday ever! Neil, Dorota and family were very welcoming and friendly, they were more than happy for us watch and help around the farm and with the animals.
A great area for exploring the Peak District, great walks and cycle rides very close by. We had a fantastic holiday and will return again soon.
