We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, if it’s peace & tranquility your after then this is the perfect place for you. The property had everything we needed, we made use of the wood fired hot tub which after a long day of walking was lovely & relaxing. Overall Gaia’s lodge is perfect and we’ll definitely return again one day in the near future.

About the host
Hosted by Amy Dillon
Upper Hurst Farm was founded in 2012 with the vision of providing a luxurious, relaxing space to enable guests to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. The caravan site was the first to arrive, shortly followed by our holiday cottage (Gaia Lodge) and our yurt (Gaia's Hideaway). What has been created here has been designed to mirror the indescribably beautiful landscape that we have at Upper Hurst Farm. This has made an environment in which people naturally feel calm and nurtured.
Set in Staffordshire's Manifold Valley yet walking distance to the Derbyshire Dales, Upper Hurst Farm is nestled on the border of these two fabulous counties. Cycle trails, hiking, open water swimming, picturesque villages and stately homes are within reach of the site. Farm shops, ice cream parlours, cafes and cosy pubs galore, Upper Hurst Farm is the perfect place for exploring what the Peak District has to offer. You can find information by looking us up, and you can even speak with us directly.

Why they chose this property
Gaia Lodge was created from an old piggery with the vision of a sumptuous, intimate getaway. It's truly about bringing the outdoors in - in all weathers. The space is cosy, cute and warm. With stunning views, easy access to towns and villages and tonnes of local walks, there is plenty to do here. The addition of the all-weather hot tub bring this home, especially on a clear night under the moon and stars.
It is the perfect romantic getaway. Our reviews speak for themselves so please do look us up!
