Peak Glamping Hideaway
Buxton, Staffordshire Moorlands, England
Newly opened in 2018, you would think the family here had been running this superb glamping site for years and years. John and Pam and their family work together to make a wonderfully welcome and frankly seriously luxurious place to stay, in one of the most breathtaking parts of the country - the Peak District National Park. A dairy farm at its core, the family have put their heart and soul into creating a place of tranquil beauty, and this glamping site is an absolute stunner. Two yurts and a shepherds hut make up the small but beautifully formed glampsite on the farm (they also have a holiday cottage) and they are each positioned to make the most of the enviable views across the rolling hills of the Peaks, nestled into one of the farms large meadows, surrounded by dry stone walls.
It is luxurious living here. The two handcrafted yurts are kitted out with king size beds, sumptuous bedding, sheepskin rugs, a woodburner with logs, solar powered fairy lights and a clear crown top, perfect for stargazing on clear nights. The romantic and aptly named Sheep Dreams Shepherds hut is equally as beautifully furnished - tasteful and unfussy - also with a king size bed and a wood burner, it also has electricity and wifi if you feel an urge to connect with the outside world (you won’t), and its own kitchenette, with an old fashioned belfast sink, granite worktop, kettle and toaster. The hut and the two yurts share the BBQ and outdoor seating and picnic areas, and because of the small size, it never feels crowded.
The luxury facilities don’t stop there. The old sheep gathering building has been revamped and now houses a beautiful suite of washrooms, with large showers, a roll top bath, luxury toilets and thankfully, not a ewe in sight. Again, it is furnished to a very high level with eyypian cotton towels, handmade oak basins, LED mirrors and high quality toiletries. This really is no ordinary glamping site. There is a communal area with all the equipment you need to whip up a full English (and beyond); a welcome breakfast hamper is provided so no excuses not to swing into action in the rustic kitchen. Kick back on the veranda with stunning views across the Dove Valley - not a bad place to fully appreciate your morning cuppa and bacon sandwich.
Once fed, get your boots on. The hiking trails lead right from the door at Peak Glamping Hideaway; you are high up in the Peaks (very high actually, the nearby village of Flash is the highest village in England) and the scenery is stunning. There are a network of old pack horse trails surrounding the farm just waiting to be explored. Foot or bike is possibly the best way to get to know this stunning National Park, and from your yurt or hut you are in prime position to access some of the best; the Monsal trail, Manifold Trail, Tissington Trail and the Heights of Abraham. Also nearby is the beautiful spa town of Buxton, the market town of Bakewell, Chatsworth House and the stunning show caves at Pooles Cavern. And if all that isn’t enough, Alton Towers is just down the road for a day (or two) of stomach churning hysteria. There is a vast amount to do here and Peak Glamping Hideaway is the absolute perfect place (both location wise and comfort wise!) to make your holiday a wonderfully relaxing break and somewhere to make great memories.
