Standing proudly amongst a collection of traditional barns at Hurdlow Grange. The Grange is a beautiful 7 bedroom farmhouse bursting with character and set in the quaint hamlet of Hurdlow.

Sprawled over 2 floors, The Grange has seven fresh, bright bedrooms each with their own glistening ensuite. Each bedroom has been decorated with light, tranquil colours and finished with beautiful fabrics and furnishings.
Out of the seven bedrooms, two of the bedrooms are fixed twins and one a fixed double, but the remaining 4 bedrooms can offer flexible sleeping arrangements and can be either double or twin. The second floor bedrooms are nestled in the eaves of the house with sloping ceilings and exposed beams adding to that rustic feel.
Each of the bedrooms has its own ensuite bath or shower room with hand basin and toilet. There is also an additional downstairs WC. Soft bath and hand towels are provided for your stay. The 3 bathrooms on the top floor all have baths with a hand held shower attachment due to the sloping ceilings.

The Grange has a fantastic fully equipped farmhouse kitchen. With stone flagged floors, a sink looking out onto the courtyard and all the mod cons you could need, this property makes catering for large groups a breeze. Amongst the essentials of double oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwaves and washing machine you will find cupboards filled with crockery, pots, pans, cutlery and glassware.
Step through the doorway into a charming dining room providing yet more serene views. Pride of place in the centre of the room are two wooden dining tables with seating for 14 guests. If you find yourself wanting to take advantage of your break away and not cook for one evening, a lot of our guests make use of local caterers and with the separate dining room you can shut off from the bustle of the kitchen for the evening and focus on socialising.
Off the kitchen down a couple of steps is a WC and utility room with more storage and space to hang outdoor clothing after a day exploring the Peak District.
Through the farmhouse off the downstairs hall there is a cosy lounge perfect for unwinding after a long day taking advantage of the surrounding walks. Sink into the luxurious leather sofas (up to 9) or additional bean bags. There is a TV with DVD player for you to enjoy a group film night, alternatively set up a board game on the central coffee table and continue the day's fun.
Beneath the lounge and accessible from the utility room is a cellar which has been cleverly converted into a games room. With an imaginative glass feature in the floor of the lounge, peak below onto your guests enjoying a game of pool or darts. There is also an additional television in the games room.
Please be aware due to the character and age of the property there is an open stairway with stone steps leading down to the Games Room.

The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for The Grange. Verbatim.
Perfect combination of spacious and cosy. Well equipped kitchen, loads of glasses, plates. cooking utensils. Lovely warm house.
It was a lovely house, and we had a wonderful weekend.
I can't recommend Hurdlow Grange too highly. It was the perfect place to celebrate our Golden Anniversary with our very active family. 7 en suite bedrooms for the 14 of us, well fitted kitchen, large dining room, our own games room as well as a communal games room. Close to the High Peak Trail for biking as well as a great network of paths in the beautiful countryside for family walks and running.
In one word, incredible. From the gorgeous views and surroundings, to the comfort and amenities inside the Hurdlow Grange doesn't disappoint on any part. The team should be proud of what they have and how well maintained it is. We will be back.
Our large family loved our stay at Hurdlow Grange. The living area was cosy, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the bedrooms were well furnished. The kids loved visiting the neighbouring cows too!
Lovely house in a lovely place!
A beautiful place, hosting a selection of mid-20s adults for a relaxed getaway. Multiple double occupancy rooms assured privacy for those attending and several social areas allowed congregation in various places!
My family and I had a great stay - throughly enjoyed it here and worth every penny!
Thank you We had an amazing time and the property was perfect
Thank you; we had a lovely stay. The house was just what we wanted with everything we needed.
Loved it, great place to stay for a family get together.
We had a lovely stay and enjoyed walking on the trails near by.
We loved the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of The Grange accommodation. My grandchildren enjoyed being able to have their own rooms and we all enjoyed being able to use the games rooms which was an unexpected bonus. We booked quite late so we were pleased to find accommodation available which made the cost more acceptable. We had a lovely meal at The Royal Oak and enjoyed being able to walk to and from the venue.
Loved our weekend away!! Beautiful cottage in a perfect location. Great for family weekends away!!
Had a lovely stay would do it again!
Thank you. We had the most amazing stay and loved the house
A beautiful location and house with plenty of space.
Amazing place. Stunning views around. And such a lovely property. There was 8 of us and more than enough space round the table for dinner, lounge was so comfy and again could all fit. And the bedrooms were all beautifully decorated and very comfortable! Would 100% recommend and would visit again!!
Lovely, comfortable accommodation. Very suitable for our mixed age family gathering. Excellent provision of mugs, plates etc so we weren’t constantly washing up. Spotlessly clean and attractively decorated. Great location for walks and town visits. Would certainly recommend.
Just back from a fabulous weekend away. 14 of us, age range was 9-76 and the property catered for us all - it was perfect. Beautifully presented, well stocked kitchen and the games rooms kept us all entertained. We had a lovely walk to the Bulls Head in Monyash. Only 45 mins. Great food. The Royal Oak is closer but the longer walk suited us more. Would definitely stay again.
Thank you very much again for a wonderful family holiday with a great quality service.
Thank you for a great weekend in a lovely house
We have just got home after an excellent three days at the Grange. Many thanks for providing such a good venue
Great place to stay. Well equipped, clean and in a very quite location. All bedrooms having an en-suite was a bonus. Would highly recommend!

We had a great family weekend here. Lovely spacious house in beautiful countryside. Easy access, good communication with host. Would definitely recommend. Thank you
We had a really good time
With reference to the above booking from 10 August 2020. I just had to let you know what a great time my family had at Herdlow Grange, especially given these uncertain times. We left early and en route Paul (who I assume is the site manager) texted to say that the property was ready way ahead of time. He had pulled out the stops. This was much appreciated as my young grandchildren were arriving and we needed to feed them. He also said he would visit the property that afternoon to answer any queries we had which he duly did. Even the Waitrose delivery arrived on time. The property was brilliant, just what we wanted. It was spotless and we were confident Covid secure. We perfectly understood the reasons for an early departure and the need to strip the beds etc. This was no problem. I appreciated your flexibility regarding the date the balance was due to be paid as the Covid rules appeared to change daily. We took the chance and so pleased we did as everything was perfect and was just the medicine required for the family. We look back on our break with such joy and none of us caught Covid or had any symptoms. Thanks again and I wouldn't hesitate to book with you again and to recommend your company to others (which I have done).
“The house is in a beautiful location with some lovely views and walks. Very clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a trip there. The hosts were very hospitable and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend!”
The house was very well present and equipped, we will look at using other venues and will certainly recommend your homes.
Thank you - the week-end went very well, with good dry weather and a reasonable amount of sunshine. Tracy Stewart provided a first class meal on the Friday evening (Dining In), one of the recommended caterers on your list. Very pleased with the choices, the quality and the service. Really enjoyed that evening. We ate at the Royal Oak twice, once on Saturday evening, and again on Sunday afternoon. Both very good, good quality (and quantity of food) and timely service. We would recommend The Royal Oak, but then judging by the number of customers there, they already know it is good! Everyone returned home safely. They have subsequently commented (favourably) on the venue and the location. So, I would conclude that our group were happy.
We have just returned from our holiday in the Grange at Hurdlow Grange. It was an excellent property, well –appointed and maintained. We all enjoyed our time there. Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay and were most impressed by the facilities and the efficiency of the organisation.
If you have comments you'd like to leave then please get in touch. We love to hear all feedback - good or bad.
As our award winning pub is only 0.8 mile stroll down the lane, it would be rude not to pop in and sample the extensive menu and try the various local beers on offer. Reservations are recommended, please call 01298 83288.

With the Tissington and High Peak Trails close by you can walk for miles along these old railway lines. Both trails meet at Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay, while the High Peak Trail is 17.5 miles longroute from the High Peak junction near Cromford to Dowlow. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for horse riders, cyclists and walkers of all abilities. It is also suitable for wheel chairs and pushchairs along the flat sections and the trail is mainly mud free which is quite rare in the Peak District. To find the nearest access turn left out of Hurdlow Grange and walk up the lane for ½ mile and you will come to a track clearly marked on you right, follow this until you reach the beginning of the trail on the right hand side. The nearest bike hire can be found at Parsley Hay which is 2.5 miles away and is at the junction of the High Peak and Tissington Trails.
Click here for more information on Parsley Hay cycle hire. (Parsley Hay does shut for Winter from 01st Nov until February)
No visit to the Peak District would be complete without visiting the fabulous Chatsworth Estate. There really is something to do for every member of the family - The Farmyard and Adventure playground, the magnificent house and the gardens which are equally as impressive as the house , with the maze, the garden trails, and the famous water cascade to keep the little ones occupied.
Click here for a link to Chatsworth House and Park.
A great day out for the family with something for everyone to enjoy. Start off with a visit to the famous Danebridge Fisheries, a great place to visit with kids, here you can fish in the well-stocked pool, catch your own supper or feed the trout (food supplied). Then a visit to the Wincle Brewery, where you can even do a one day brewing course! After a trip to the brewery why not call into the Ship Inn, just down the lane where you can sample Wincle’s fine ales in the pretty beer garden. Follow up with finally finishing the day off with a visit to Blaze Farm, a working farm that has become famous for their awarding winning Hilly Billy Ice Cream which is all made on the farm using the milk from their dairy herd. With tea rooms, nature trials and animals to pet there is something for everyone!
The spa town of Buxton can really offer something for everyone; enjoy a stroll around the pretty Pavilion gardens. The kids can enjoy the playground areas or you might chose to go for a swim at the recent refurbished swimming pool. The more adventurous may want to try out ‘Go Ape’ the treetop adventure course, for those without a head for heights a visit to Poole’s Cavern is fascinating, and it’s a great activity especially for kids when the weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities. For theatre lovers, seeing a show in the intimate Buxton Opera House is a must, and for the shopaholics the pretty Cavendish Arcade has a range of lovely little boutique shops. Lovers of real ale will enjoy visiting Buxton Tap House, which is Buxton’s own brewery pub serving its very own ales and bitters.
