About this property

Luxury barn in Peak District National Park - peaceful with great views

The 17th Century Farm and Barn are built of local pink stone in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Our scenic rural location is surrounded by acres of fields and woods - our only neighbours being sheep, wild birds, and our rescue hens. Perfect for large families or groups of friends to enjoy a healthy break away from it all with
clean fresh air, starry skies, no passing cars or people. There are many beautiful walks from the doorstep – one favourite is a circular route along the nearby spectacular Roaches ridge via picture-perfect Wincle and its excellent country pub the Ship Inn.

High Ridge Barn is architect designed and recently renovated throughout to provide luxurious modern and comfortable self-catering accommodation with superb views across Swythamley valley.

The enormous double-height barn has 4 double bedrooms sleeping up to 8 people plus babes in arms, 2 of which can be arranged as large singles or king/super king sized beds. 3 bathrooms mean no queues for the loo! The living/dining room with Scandi log-burner leads directly from the new high-end kitchen equipped with Neff appliances and is so well equipped our guests tell us we have things here they didn’t know they needed! Everything from super-fast broadband to 1,000 thread bed linen to fluffy towels, bathrobes, slippers and logs down to an oyster shucker – High Ridge Barn has it all.

The Barn has private half-acre landscaped dog-secure gated and fenced gardens and parking for up to 5 cars. There’s a large wood-fired outdoor sauna, a BBQ, secure bike storage, and a dog grooming cabin with all the mod cons. Up to 4 pets are very welcome.

For special occasions please ask for details of our Celebration Packages. Fantastic bespoke cakes from an expert local baker, wonderful flowers courtesy our skilled and creative florist, bunting, balloons - all ready for your arrival. At Christmas the Barn is decorated with a real tree, dog-safe decorations, oodles of warm white fairy lights, illuminated wreaths and lots of festive Scandi decorations and LED candles.

Leek is a mere 15-minute drive away and has a great selection of supermarkets and award-winning restaurants, takeaways and deliveries.

If you do need to work without disturbing the rest of your group, we'll set up one of the four bedrooms as an office with a desk, Anglepoise lamp, colour printer and a Herman Miller ergonomic chair. Zoom and Teams meetings are easy courtesy the superfast broadband.

Perfect - luxury place to stay
We had such a wonderful weekend at High Ridge. Rob and Rosie were perfect hosts throughout. A lovely welcome pack! Everything in the property feels well thought out. Lots of little touches like umbrellas, sliders for use outside… so many things that make it an easy place to stay. Well stocked kitchen with useful and quality items. We brought our little dog who was living his best life! Dogs are clearly welcome and there were lots of extras there for him. Fully enclosed garden also made it easy. Great local walks. We definitely want to come back and wouldn’t think twice about booking High Ridge. In fact, we’d like to live there! Big thanks to Rosie and Rob for being top hosts.

Beautifully stunning inside and out
This place is really gorgeous. Thoughtfully put together and everything you need already catered for. Everything was made so easy by the owners and we had a truly relaxing and enjoyable time in this luxurious home. We would definitely come back here for a peaceful family break again.

Excellent spacious accomodation
We all thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous barn as a base for the preparation for our daughter's wedding. We had a wonderful relaxing time there amid the busy schedule. The barn itself is amazing, so well equipped and set in a beautiful location. The hosts, Rosie and Rob were great too, with suggestions for exploring the area and helping make the stay memorable. Would love to return at some point when we could spend more time walking and exploring.

Perfect!
This property is absolutely perfect, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's better than the photos and the owners have thought of and stocked with everything you need, even packing away our shopping order. Its luxurious but comfortable and as we travelled with two young dogs very dog friendly. The pups had a safe enclosed spoace to run and play and a grooming hut to wash off muddy paws. Lovely views and some great walking in the area. Will definately look at booking again and recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Rob and Rosie

Host profile image
Having lived in central London for most of our adult lives, we couldn't wait to move here to the Peak District, which we have been enjoying for the best part of 40 years.

Why they chose this property

We bought High Ridge in 2016, and for two years provided just about every tradesman in the area with gainful employment renovating, modernising, landscaping, improving and refurbishing High Ridge.

Of all the properties we viewed, High Ridge stood out for its fabulously quiet rural location and wonderful views with easy access to countryside walks. We can pop in to Leek and bring back fish and chips still hot, and Ocado, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons all deliver here, as does the excellent award-winning Indian restaurant Pabna. The local pub The Ship in Wincle does great food, as does the Lazy Trout in nearby Meerbrook.

It's a great place to live, and a great place to stay for a week or a weekend.

What makes this property unique

After a bracing walk or cycle ride, what could be better than unwinding in a sauna? Located in your extensive private garden is a modern Scandi wooden sauna pod with authentic Harvia wood-burning heater and separate changing area. Just give us a couple of hours notice and we will prepare your sauna for walk-in readiness. We provide hammam towels, sauna slippers, sauna oils and water pail, sauna timer and bottles of local Crag spring water. There is a hot and cold water shower pod next to the sauna for cooling off.

The very large landscaped private gardens include a spacious York stone terrace with wonderful country views to enjoy with your outdoor dining or BBQ (large and smaller Weber BBQs with cooking tools and charcoal provided). There is seating for 8 at our bespoke garden table with parasol and benches.

As dog owners ourselves we recognise that a dog-friendly holiday needs to be properly dog-friendly. We have converted one of the stables into a dog grooming parlour equipped with a professional walk-in electric-lift dog bath, heated shower, grooming table with pet hairdryer and grooming items including brush, comb and Wahl almond shampoo. Inside the barn you will find dog beds (small, medium, large and enormous), dog food and water bowls, throws for the furniture, spare collars and leads with High Ridge Barn ID tags, and a pet first aid kit. Plus organic dog treats which are loved by all dogs!

We know that work commitments often interrupt a holiday so why not work from High Ridge Barn in your own dedicated holiday HQ without disturbing your fellow guests. We will convert one of the four bedrooms into an office with a modern desk, an ergonomic Herman Miller chair, and an anglepoise lamp. The superfast broadband makes Zoom and Teams meetings easy and if someone's droning on you can always enjoy the view!
