The Farmhouse, Derbyshire

Settled on an old farm in Middleton near Youlgreave, Derbyshire is this delightful, detached house of The Farmhouse. A Grade II listed building boasting original features throughout, whilst sitting in a courtyard of a non-working farm in the Peak District National Park, The Farmhouse is the perfect getaway for a large group or family of 18. After parking in one of the ample off-road spaces and taking in your marvellous surroundings, venture inside to a charming sitting room; where a toasty electric woodburning stove for you and your loved ones to cosy up around, as you watch a movie on the TV. Another sitting area can be found in the nearby conservatory, where you can really relish those countryside views as you sink back into the plush seating. Continue through the delightful property to find a country kitchen/diner hosting all you need to whip up delectable meals, from an AGA range to a dishwasher. Dinner can be savoured at the kitchen's small table, or as a grander affair in the dining room, where two tables seating all the family awaits as well as a crackling open fire.
