The attractive village of Wetton stands amidst rolling hills, rocky outrcops, undulating valleys and farmland above the glorious Manifold Valley. The walking from your doorstep offers amazing variety; either steady strolls along the disused route of the former Leek and Manifold Light Railway or more strenuous hikes taking in some of the surrounding hidden valleys, woods, hills and limestone tors. The most famous sight, a short walk from the village heart, is the impressive Thor’s Cave; high up on the hillside, it towers above the valley and its 60 ft high entrance lures you in to explore. Below is Wetton Mill, a former corn mill now owned by the National Trust - the tea rooms here is a lovely spot to stop and enjoy the scenery beside the River Manifold.
Wetton is located approximately half-way between Butterton and Alstonefield, each being around two-and-a-half miles away, and there are lovely walks leading to them both; once there you will discover excellent watering holes, for in Butterton there is The Black Lion, and in Alstonefield, The George. Hartington and Dovedale are both 5 miles away and Ashbourne 10 miles drive.

The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Redhurst Barn. Verbatim.
We had a wonderful family get together in this beautiful house. Everything we needed was there.
Redhurst Barn was a perfect base for our 60th birthday gathering. There was comfortable seating and beds for 8 couples and our dogs. Fabulous walking on the door step and great local amenities in Ashbourne. Would definitely book again.
Perfect location and accommodation for a get together for old friends. Well equipped kitchen, lots of en suite bathrooms, ground floor bedrooms, massive dining table, comfy lounge with sloppy chairs and all with a local pub serving great food and beer 5 mins walk away. Busy tourist area with loads of walks and interesting places to visit. Highly recommend.
We were a group of 14 friends. Redhurst Barn was perfect for our get together. The barn was very well presented and the kitchen was well provided for with plenty of equipment and cutlery and crockery. The 2 dishwashers were well used!! We had one of the recommended chefs cook for us on our last night which was superb. The bedrooms were well appointed and the whole place was very cosy. The location was perfect for walks from the property and visiting local attractions. Would thoroughly recommend Redhurst Barn for a large group stay.
Our mixed aged family group thoroughly enjoyed Redhurst Barn, the village and the surrounding countryside. An excellent holiday was had by all.
Redhurst Barn provided an excellent location for a big family gathering. We had great space and facilities to cook together, dine together and sit together in the evenings. Bedrooms are all en-suite, too. Local walks are terrific and the scenery has to be some of the most beautiful in England.
On walking through the door into Redhurst Barn - it had the wow factor. Everything was amazing for the stay of our family gathering of 16. It was just perfect. Beautiful kitchen - fully kitted out with all the utensils you need - excellent facilities - gorgeous bedrooms with en-suites - absolutely spotless and to a very high standard. Dining area seated all 16 of us with plenty of room. Beautiful lounge area and log fire to relax and chill. Perfect location. Close by for stunning walks of the Peak District. The weather was perfect and we did a lovely walk around Wetton Mill and Thors Cave. Definitely recommend this amazing accommodation! We made the best memories in this beautiful place
Our team of 20 stayed at Redhurst Barn for a week long meeting. All bedrooms were ensuite which worked perfectly for us. The main barn was a great area for hosting meeting during the day and provided a private space for the team to relax and get to know each other better. All the facilities were excellent and we will definitely be using Peak Venues again to host our meetings. Thank you!!
Redhurst Barn is a wonderful property for large groups. The house is beautifully done, well thought out and in the most idyllic little village. We loved our stay and highly recommend this lovely place for any large groups.
We had a wonderful Wetton weekend with 3 generations of our family. The house was perfect for our needs from the way it was set up inside and outside. Our hosts were friendly and helpful at all times. The housekeeping team were lovely.
Well appointed house. Well equipped kitchen. Surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Great property with more than adequate facilities for the extended family group. En suite bathrooms for all bedrooms made life easy as well.
Wow! what a weekend! We have had the best time here, the location is amazing! It really showed the true beauty of the Peak District! Amazing walks from the doorstep and the house was perfect, with super comfy sofas, comfy beds and spacious rooms. Everything was perfectly clean and tidy! All the instructions was clear and easy to read! I have loved this home and wpuld definitely recommend! thank you!
We hired Redhurst Barn out for a small corporate meeting. It was the perfect venue for our team to host their meeting and team building activities! Thank you!
Outstanding. Communication from the host was perfect. On arrival the check-in was simple, the property was very clean and the rooms were made up exactly how we had requested. It had a brilliantly equipped kitchen including two dishwashers, two fridges, three ovens, a large hob and an abundance of plates, cutlery and glasses which made catering for a large group easy. Beautiful surrounding area and a great location to explore Thor's cave by foot. Would fully recommend for anyone coming to the peaks with a large group.
I just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you for our wonderful stay. The house was really comfortable and well provisioned!
A great venue for holding a family celebration. Every bedroom had a shower room which was great. The kitchen was very well kitted out, all mod cons. We would certainly hire it again and recommend it to friends. An added bonus was that it was a short walk to the pub which had good homemade food.
A large, generous space immaculately decorated, well stocked with amenities, materials and linens. Close to walking routes and lovely neighbours (both human and animals). It is a beautiful house and was perfect for hosting a large extended family of all ages.
Excellent - thank you for everything.
Great house for a big group! Rooms were all great with bathrooms which is always nice when away with friends. We lucked out with the weather and made use of the garden. There were two horses in the next field which was a lovely surprise as we got to see them every day. The kids loved this. The garden isn’t secure if bringing dogs so need to watch for this.
We stayed for a 70th Birthday weekend with family and it was ideal. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need! We had a great time cooking and eating as a family. the bedrooms are spacious and clean and each have an ensuite. towels loved it! Thank you x
Redhurst was comfortable, nicely furnished, easy to serve meals to 16 people. The children had a great time and we didn't have to worry they were going to break anything. Whoever managed the interior décor did a GREAT job. We didn't have an opportunity to support the local establishments, but the community seemed friendly enough. Peak Venues were responsive and handled all of our issues and questions quickly and kindly.
Absolutely amazing space for a family get together. We were 15 plus 3 small children and it was perfect. All rooms were great, big communal table, cosy living space. Surrounded by nature and fresh air with the pub 50 metres away. Will definitely be back !
Loved this stunning place! The host was very responsive and accommodating. The location was perfect for us group of 8 couples! The en-suite in every room was also a huge plus. Everything about this beautiful cottage was were it should be and could tell it was done with great thoughtfulness. The kitchen was also well stocked and we all felt at home. This cottage gets a 5 star from us and we will certainly be back!
It is fairly pricey for a 2 night stay but having the Sunday night thrown in for no additional cost was good as it meant we did not have to leave the property until late on the Sunday which was really helpful.
Absolutely wonderful stay! Amazing house, so beautifully decorated and tidy. Kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cooking essentials. Two dishwashers and two fridges made cooking and cleaning up after very easy for 15 people! Location is perfect for a walk to thors cave, local pub the Royal Oak was also a delight of the stay. Thanks so much
Used the venue for a business offsite and it worked brilliantly. The Team were able to focus, relax and enjoy each other's company.
Great place to stay for a group of 16. Would definitely recommend
Perfect cottage for our family get together. Lots of space. Useful garden for dogs. Lovely walks from the door. Super dinner in nearby, local pub. Logs provided upon arrival for fire. Eggs and local milk waiting for us in fridge. Christmas tree a nice touch in early December. Bathrooms and kitchen well stocked. My only request in hindsight is a larger frying pan. We would definitely return.
Beds v comfortable and kitchen v well equipped. Having downstairs rooms was useful
We had a great time with our family. Everything was beyond our expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
This was the PERFECT venue to celebrate my parents 70th birthdays with my sisters and lots of grandkids. The house is huge and immaculate. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Bbq outside was great (in the rain!) you just need to bring charcoal and matches. The location is perfect for local walks, it’s 15-20 mins to Thors cave. We didn’t make it to the pub but it looked great. Highly recommend booking and peak venues who were responsive throughout.
We had a lovely stay & we were very comfortable.
Very close to the Thor's cave walk so ideal if wanting to include that in your weekend. beautiful home - lovely kitchen and cosy living room. all rooms come with ensuites which is very handy also. plenty of parking
From start to finish we had excellent service. When we arrived it exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was absolutely fantastic. We would recommend staying 100% Thank you
A great venue to host family gatherings. Every room has an en suite which is just perfect when you have so many families staying together. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you need and has a great breakfast bar to chat while’s preparing food. The location is perfect to walk/cycle around the local areas.
Thank you again for a great Easter stay we loved Redhurst Barn
Redhurst Barn is a beautiful property with absolutely everything you need for a getaway with a large party - there are really thoughtful touches like two dishwashers, two kettles, two ovens and plenty of crockery and glasses. All rooms are gorgeous and well laid out and all being en-suite is a great bonus too. However we had someone with limited mobility in our party and while there are ground floor bedrooms, there are steps up and down to certain rooms which we did not realise, and the steps from the dining room to the lounge are quite steep (although the hosts provided a booster step for us to use while there). Some of the sofas are also pretty low, making them difficult for older people to get up from. The hosts are also extremely responsive and helpful - we had some issues with the heating but they immediately responded to help us out, and provided additional heaters that we were very appreciative of. We would love to return in the summertime to enjoy the outdoor areas too.
We were a party of six couples plus dog and spent an enjoyable and comfortable weekend in Wetton. There are walks straight from the house, the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and picturesque.
We had a wonderful relaxing weekend at Redhurst Barn. A beautiful peaceful location and gorgeous house. It was extremely comfortable - gorgeous en suite bedrooms and all beautifully maintained. We would definitely return!
What a wonderful stay at Redhurst Barn, could not recommend more- we will definitely be back! Plenty of kitchen equipment to accommodate 16 of us, very clean and looks even better than the photos when you arrive.
Lovely property in a very good location for walking.
A great house for a large group. Beautiful walking from the house or a short drive away.
Lovely barn, very clean.
Even my band of demanding pensioners would find it difficult to complain about anything.
The most perfect venue for my mum’s 60th! Highly recommend Thank you so much! A wonderful venue for a group stay”
A lovely place to stay. Handy for the pub too and lots of walks around the area. We really enjoyed it in perfect location
Stunning property, with excellent facilities for large groups. Especially loved the huge dining table. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates glasses etc, and the eight en-suites were all spotless. The house is well located to explore the area, with plenty of storage space for bikes etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this property - you won’t be disappointed!
This property was amazing, professional service, were everything is organized and shown in a booklet that you received before you arrived so no need to keep asking about stuff during your vacation! The house is very clean with enough numbers of rooms and toilets! The kitchen design is beautiful with everything you may need! The location is just perfect to isolate and have real time with family! You will enjoy horses view from the window We are happy to spend our vacation at this property Thank you

A belated thank you for the use of Redhurst Barn which was an absolute dream! From the friendly greeting from Pam through to the accommodation itself including copious crockery and glasses, everything was perfect. We all really enjoyed our stay, especially long lazy meals around the table. It all helped to make our 30th anniversary celebrations a truly memorable and happy event.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to write and thank you for the most wonderful stay at Redhurst Barn, this weekend. We are a fussy bunch, all pretty well travelled with lots of mini breaks under our belts but all 14 of us are blown away by the standard of accommodation, the facilities, the furnishings and the setting at Redhurst Barn - it really has been fabulous and we will most certainly use you guys again in the future.

The Manifold Trail is a short but very attractive walking/cycle route along the route of the former Leek & Manifold Light Railway. The trail runs from Hulme End all the way down to Waterhouses (home to the Manifold Cycle centre where you can hire bikes) through some spectacular Peak District scenery. The route passes Beeston Tor, Wetton Mill (with its quaint tearooms) and the wonderful Thor's Cave which is well worth exploring. Inside you will find fascinating rock formations and mineral colours with wonderful views over the Manifold Valley.

No visit to the Peak District would be complete without visiting the fabulous Chatsworth House. At Chatsworth there is something to do for every member of the family. The Farmyard and Adventure playground is a brilliant day out for children of all ages - with animal handling, milking demonstrations and daily activities, plus a woodland adventure playground with slides, trampolines and more! Then there is obviously the House itself, steeped with history it’s one of Britain’s greatest stately homes and has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. The Gardens are equally as impressive as the house, over 100 acres and as well and the beautiful flowers and plants, there are giant water features and sculptures dotted around. Again, suitable for all the family, with the maze, the garden trails, and the famous water cascade to keep the little ones occupied.
