Description

New Harborough Farmhouse is a wonderful old farmhouse that provides a superb holiday retreat. Within its thick stone walls and under its traditional beamed ceilings you will find a magnificent lounge, separate dining area, superb kitchen, five bedrooms with wonderfully comfortable beds, four bathrooms and even two log burning stoves. Add crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels, cashmere throws, original works of art, and lovely antiques and you realise this is a very special place to host a family escape.

The farmhouse is one of a group of cottages, converted from the old farm buildings, situated in its own secret valley surrounded by farmland (a working farm lies just beyond) - see also DCNEB New Harborough Bungalow (sleeps 2), DCGOL Golconda (sleeps 4) and DCGRIF Griffedale (sleeps 4).The High Peak Trail for walkers and cyclists is close by. Carsington Water with its water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill. The lovely historic town of Wirksworth with heritage railway, heritage trail, Northern Lights little cinema and many a pub and restaurant is just five minutes' drive away.

There are also lots of other Peak District attractions in the surrounding hills. Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside promenade is not to be missed. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the Derwent Valley.

Reviews

A very well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. Plenty of room for our families to enjoy time together. The children enjoyed the freedom of being able to roam the hills around the cottage. The only downside was having to leave by 9.30am. A slightly later departure time would be a nicer end to the holiday.

Mrs H,

This is a fantastic place in a beautiful area. Although a little hard to find, the property manager provided incredibly clear instructions and was on hand if there were any issues. The farmhouse was perfect, incredibly clean, modern appliances, great bathrooms and amenities plus a great kitchen, they even decorated for Christmas! The fire was fantastic and there are some great walks around the house and lovely villages a close drive away. The property manager was fantastic and provided clear information and support as well as a beautiful home. Thoroughly recommend staying here!!

Miss G,

The property was ideal for the whole family to enjoy time together. We appreciated the high quality of finish, furnishings and appliances and of course the welcome cake and wine were a bonus! The cake was exceptionally good! We had everything that we needed, including a high chair and travel cot. The quiet location was ideal and well situated to enjoy the main attractions and walks of The Peak District. The information provided prior to arrival was excellent. We would love to return.

Mrs B,

We had a lovely time staying with family at New Harborough Farm. The quality of everything was beautiful and the welcome cake and wine such a nice touch. We hope to be back in the future!

Mrs M,

Thank you so much – The house is wonderful & we absolutely loved it. We’ll be back x

Family Party,

Thank you for such a wonderful place to have a special Birthday with family. A beautifully furnished & equipped cottage in a fabulous location – we’ve had a memorable stay. Thank you too for the wine and cake!!

Family Party,

10 of us got together to celebrate mum's 70th birthday. Three generations and we had a brilliant time. The house was perfect for us all. Thank you.

Family Party,

Celebrating belated 65th due to Covid. Beautiful 1st class cottage, so clean and very well maintained. It was lovely to make use of the lovely garden too. The cake was a lovely surprise and the wine too. Just a wonderful break with all the family.

Family Party,

Three generational family holiday and it has been lovely. Dovedale, Thor's Cave, Alton Towers, Abraham Heights, Carsington Water. Excellent meal at The Cock Inn, Muggington. Weather mixed but has not stopped us. Cottage superb, as was the gorgeous cake. It has been what we all wanted and needed. Thank you!

Family G,

We all had a great time in this amazing place with the brilliant walks nearby.

Group of Friends,

Brilliant location, fantastic house - so much room, and very clean. Dawn & Ian very friendly and helpful. Had a brilliant week. Will hopefully be back, thank you!

Previous Customer,

Celebrating a 60th and 90th birthday. Appreciated the warm welcome, cake and the well-equipped kitchen. Enjoyed catching up with each other and visiting the beautiful countryside.

Family G,

Thoroughly enjoyed the house - so well equipped. Lovely spot, easily accessible to walks and Derbyshire sights.

Group of Friends,

Just lovely. The re-set button we all needed. We found kestrels, hares, fossils and caves. Thank you.

Family Party,

What a wonderful place to spend Christmas! This farmhouse is a credit to you - beautiful, well equipped and roomy. We had a lovely stay - thank you!

Family Party,

Lovely big cottage - perfect for our New Year celebration with our two sons' families and their 4 children. Lovely local reps - Karen and Dawn. Derbyshire winter weather as expected - actually the fog is quite romantic and the children liked it along with the ghostly wind turbines. One very minor quibble - an electric kettle would be useful. Also - the industrial noise from the nearby quarry - not a problem for us in winter with all windows closed - would be a major problem in spring/summer, because the noise would dominate the lovely garden during daytime working hours.

Mr Michael B,

Location

BRASSINGTON

Brassington is a very picturesque village with a muddle of cottages tumbling down the hillside nestling in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. Close to the lovely Georgian market town of Ashbourne as well as the historic lead mining town of Wirksworth there are few better places to base your holiday. But best of all the village has two great pubs. Ye Olde Gate Inn is a 17th century unspoilt village inn that has been named Britain’s cosiest pub. Alternatively get a very warm welcome in the Miners Arms that does great food and fantastic beer.

If you enjoy the countryside, you might know that the Limestone Way that passes the village will take you out across the Peaks while the nearby Tissington Trail is just great for walking or cycling. Set virtually on the shores of Carsington Water, Derbyshire’s inland sea, there is also easy access to wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle hire, an adventure playground, visitor centre, café and craft shops.

There is lots to explore in this southern part of the Peak District. Beautiful Dove Dale has its famous stepping stones across the river or there is Manifold Dale with its ‘vanishing’ waters. Tissington with its fine Jacobean Manor, Hartington with its great cheese shop or Crowdecote with its incredible views are great local villages. You might even get as far as Alton Towers just over in Staffordshire!  

Local pubs – Ye Olde Gate Inn, the Miners Arms and the Knockerdown near Carsington.
