Set in the Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Woodside Farm stands in five acres and occupies a super rural position with fantastic views over the Derwent Valley and surrounding countryside, bordered by woods with Beeley Moor close by. Woodside Farm is set on a working farm with cows and sheep grazing in the surrounding fields. Water is from our own natural spring.

Adjoining our farmhouse, The Old Farmhouse, run as a holiday cottage from the early 90’s is an 18th century stone cottage full of character. We also have another cottage in nearby Birchover. Red Lion Cottage is an 18th century semi detached stone cottage set within the Peak District National Park next to the village pub and again full of character.

Originally from the area we have local knowledge to assist you in your holiday plans, advising on local attractions or generally providing assistance, if you wish, or you may want to explore this area of natural beauty yourself. As a family enterprise, we aim to please and provide a memorable holiday, weather that is simply self-catering accommodation, Bed & Breakfast or a more organised event. We have two young children who are happy to play and give parents that short break that is often much welcome.

With over 30 years of mountain biking and walking experience, we hope to offer a unique holiday. We understand the needs of people who enjoy the outdoor life. Guided cycle rides can be organised for all levels from the simple to the very technical and complex. A well-stocked library of guidebooks and maps enables our guests to plan and gain the most from the stay. Quality well cooked food is always available, from a traditional english breakfast to a cake and mug of tea out on the ride or a full evening meal, you can be assured of quality. All prepared using home-grown and local produce where possible and cooked to perfection by Shelley a qualified chef.

Woodside Farm and Woodside Cottage (renamed The Old Farmhouse) were purchased in February 2007, after many years of searching for this kind of property. The farm and its associated buildings will hopefully provide a canvas for us to develop into further holiday cottages and a provider of quality accommodation and holiday experiences.

At Woodside Farm we usually meet our guests on arrival and assist them with settling into the The Old Farmhouse. We can also meet our guests on arrival at Red Lion Cottage by prior arrangement.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Peak District and hope you enjoy your time here as much as we enjoy living here and will return again.
