"Great place, great weekend"
We went as a group of 11 and hired out both cottages at Gateham Grange. We
thought the cottages were very reasonably priced, set in a great location, very
clean, exceeded expectations … in summary we had a lovely stay there for the
weekend. We’d definitely go back if we head out that way again.

"Absolutely Fabulous"
I booked both cottages to share a birthday weekend with 7 friends. The scenery
is breathtaking, the cottages clean, beautifully decorated, bags of character, I
can't think of a bad thing to say! Mrs Flower did everything she could to make
our stay enjoyable. I will always look back on that weekend with great
affection, and these cottages only added to what was my 50th birthday
celebration to make it truely special.
Liked best: the comfort and beauty of the cottages and surrounding area
Liked least: there is nothing to complain about!

"A
warm welcome started our break in this lovely cottage. It is perfect for a
get-away week (or two) in such a beautiful quiet location. So many delightful
walks close by, after which you can relax in the well-equipped cottage. if you
want to eat out, there are plenty of good venues to take advantage of. We look
forward to our next visit"

"Over the past few years we have
stayed at Gateham Cottage or The Coach House and have found both of them a
lovely 'home from home' with everything you could need. The farm is well
situated for visiting all the local attractions. We particularly enjoy the fact
that there are lots of good walks you can take straight from the front door as
the surrounding countryside is very beautiful. Rob, Teresa and Sam are most
welcoming."

"A warm welcome awaits at this real working farm ,in
picturesque countryside.”
Took our first holiday at Gateham Grange in the 1980's with our teenage children
and have returned on a number of occasions including last year with one of the
'children' fast approaching 40! Every visit has been a pleasure, clean
comfortable accommodation ,a warm welcome from Teresa and Robert who were always
happy to help.
A real working farm to savour, and plenty of things to see, do and eat in the
area.
We'll be back.

“Perfect setting...a great place to which to escape for a
week”
Spending a week on a farm, in a rural, secluded Peak District valley, was a
fantastic spring holiday. Lambs were being born all week which was an eye-opener
for the children; we fed day-old chicks from a bottle, and enjoyed the wonderful
welcome from Teresa and her family. Highly recommended!

“Relaxing holiday in beautiful countryside”
My wife and I enjoyed our week in the coach house,cosy and warm the cottage was
well stocked , the cottage was in a farming environment surrounded by the
wonderful countryside just the place to relax and unwind. Lots of places to visit
lovely Dovedale, Hartington and the town of Buxton not too far away and many more
places of interest we needed an extra week really, we do intend to return in the
near future.
We must not forget our hostess she was kind and very helpful at all times , You
could wander round the farm get close to the animals under the watchful eye of
the farmers they took the time to talk to you and answer any questions you might
want to ask, We enjoyed ourselves very much parents with young children it must
be a dream come true.

"We stayed in the coach house which was so pretty & comfortable with
everything you could need to have a very enjoyable holiday. My daughters
absolutely loved being able to go, see & hold the lambs.
With everything so close by it is in the perfect location and well worth
the visit or another visit! We would like to thank Rob, Teresa & Sam for
everything that they have done for us in making our holiday a really
lovely one... so thank you from Josh, Catherine, Sarah-Jane, Katie &

"Hidden gem”
The cottage is is like a small farmhouse tagged onto the end of the main
farmhouse. Very quiet and private, nice little garden and patio area. Its a five
minute drive to Hartington, where you can shop at the lovely village stores and
the pubs serve excellent meals. In the other direction nearby Alstonfield is a
pretty village with a good pub. We walked a lot, and you are straight out of the
door onto the hills. The main living room is on the first floor with the
bedrooms. The kitchen and bathroom on the groundflloor. It actually works very
well and the style and decor is homely and unpretentious. We loved it and will
go back next year. There were three of us staying, my partner and her mum. Still
enjoyed it!

"Heaven... Lovely, clean and everything you want.”
We had a lovely weekend for a family birthday. The owners were great with
information on farming life, really chatty and great with kids as they took them
to bottle feed new lambs etc. Sat in the cottage looking out on to the farmyard
and fields was breath taking. Pubs are a small car ride but plenty and wonderful
George near by is lovely for a nice meal. With villages all around and places to
see (dont miss Dovedale). This is from a city family seeing a snip of country
life and it was wonderful except for return journey home, we wondered what life
was about.......
