Converted from 18th century farm buildings into superb accommodation, you can relax and unwind in a wonderful, peaceful setting. We are surrounded by some of the most spectacular countryside in the Peak District National Park.

Lush, tranquil dales and wild romantic highlands can be explored on foot, horseback or by car. The Manifold Trail runs below Swainsley Farm (with easy access for pushchairs or wheelchair users) and offers 9.5 miles of excellent cycling. Fishing, pony trekking, water sports and cycle hire are all available locally.

The less adventurous may just want to stroll through fields into Dovedale, walk along the banks of the Manifold River or visit some of our pretty villages with their lovely old churches and ancient inns. Village shops are close-by and there are some wonderful places to eat.

Alton Towers, Matlock Bath and Chatsworth are within 15 miles. There are many National Trust properties, country houses, gardens and family attractions in the area.
