Large Group and Organisations

Flexible accommodation to suit you

The Holmes Barn offers versatile sleeping arrangements, with a mix of single beds, adult bunk beds, sofa beds/futons, and pull-out mattresses—perfect for groups of up to 16 guests.

The barn is fully equipped for large gatherings, with ample crockery, cutlery, a dishwasher, and a washing machine, making it easy to cater to everyone. Its spacious layout works well for groups who want a large communal area for socialising, as well as quieter corners for one-to-one time.

Outside, you’ll find plenty of parking, a private patio and garden, and a stone-built BBQ—ideal for summer evenings. Set in the Peak District, the barn also boasts stunning countryside views, offering a peaceful escape with plenty of space to relax.

Activities and facilities your group will love

The Paddock – a large flat grassed area (approx one acre) that can be hired for camping, gazebo erection, or team-building games.

Through our contacts we have links with local groups and individuals who can offer a wide range of activities either on site or within the local area; these range from organised walks, cycle hire, boot camps, horse riding, etc.

We have had visits from a wide range of groups – several who come back yearly. These include charities, church groups, school groups, Duke of Edinburgh, Princes Trust, Junior cricket clubs on tour, and local outdoor centres that use our accommodation to enhance their services and run different courses.

Groups use our cottage for many different reasons. Some because we can offer accommodation, which is beneficial to both small and large parties, and some because they wish to get away from it all and experience the great outdoors.

Whatever the reason, we can accommodate your requests and help your organisation have an amazing time in the Peak District, whether it’s your first trip or you know the area well.
