The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Manifold Farm. Verbatim.
I have used Peak Venues for a few years now and I would never go anywhere else for my big property rentals They are incredible - from the personal customer service - the property managers and the exquisite properties We have just returned from Manifold House for our fitness residential and it was nothing short of perfect!!! Beautiful surroundings - The house was immaculate and so well stocked in the kitchen areas in order for us to cater for our 48 members Thankyou Peak Venues - You and your properties are amazing!
Absolutely fantastic setting for a large group. The service from Peak Venues was incredible and everything made very easy. The venue was spotless and all the staff we dealt with very friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault the booking and checking in process and information available. By far the best accommodation provider I've used. Our whole family loved The Farmhouse. The catering company that was recommended (Zest4Events) were also brilliant. Thanks for helping us have an unforgettable weekend. Matt
We had an amazing time at Manifold Farm. It was the perfect venue for hosting our (unofficial) wedding celebration. The spaces were exceptional for socialising. Margaret and the team provided a brilliant service, allowing us and our caterers to view the property beforehand as well as answering all our logistical questions. We had absolutely no issues when we were onsite and would highly recommend.
Thank you for a great stay-manifold barn & farm are exceptional properties
Thank you, this is the best Peak Venue property we have stayed in and Margaret our host was amazing. Such a helpful, kind person who is a credit to your company. We all need more Margaret’s in our lives x
I just wanted to write to let you know that we had a fabulous time, and to thank you all for such an amazing venue and setting. We booked out the whole setting for our wedding celebration, and every single one of the guests that stayed all commented on how great the venue was. Leading up to the weekend we were kept well informed, were provided with all the relevant information we needed for our stay, and was contacted by the housekeeper prior to arrival to confirm once again all the information. Upon arrival the venue was spotless, the rooms were made up exactly as we had asked, and we were even able to arrange to access it a little earlier than expected which was brilliant for us to be able to have a bit more time to set up. The kitchens were so well equipped, with everything we needed on hand to be able to cater for 48 people. It really did genuinely make the weekend the most special occasion, and we cannot thank the whole Peak Venues team enough for being so accommodating and supportive with the booking.
Just wanted to say that our team event at Manifold Farm/Barns was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the fabulous house, which provided ample space for our team to spread out and get on with strategy planning. The food provided by Luke and his team was delicious, and if there was a fault it was the enormous quantities provided – most were agreed that they’d never eaten so much! Thanks for everything.
I just wanted to say what a fantastic weekend we had a Manifold Farm. The stay was a universal hit! And the venue was fantastic. Not only that but the amazing team at peak venues have been nothing but spectacular - if I'm ever in the area, I will buy you all a drink!! Once again a million thanks to everyone at peak venue, you're all aces!
Cannot fault the service from start to finish.
Fantastic house, great service and pre information on the website. Staff always helpful and the whole booking process was easy and very organised. I will definitely book again.
Excellent property and service so very pleased
We have used Peak Venues x4 and the service we receive from start to finish is very professional.
We’ve just had the best weekend. Thank you to you and your team for your help and support beforehand. I’d like to think that you will get some more business from our guests too since they were all impressed by Manifold Farm. The standard of everything there and the location were brilliant.
Very professional from the outset. Rare these days to find better than expected from the photos and details but Manifold Farm was fantastic. We had a fantastic time and our interactions with the office and Elaine could not have been better.
Just a quick email to thank you for hosting us. We had a fantastic time and the house was just perfect for our needs. In fact, this has been the best house we have been in terms of location, cleanliness and layout. We do this every year so no doubt I will contact you again next year.
If you have comments you'd like to leave then please get in touch. We love to hear all feedback - good or bad.

A beautiful example of an 18th century mansion, designed by the famous architect Robert Adam, Kedleston Hall was built for Sir Nathaniel Curzon in 1765 as a house to rival Chatsworth. Intended as 'a temple of the arts' and as the location for grand entertainments, the main house was never meant to be a family home, but a show palace in which to showcase the finest paintings, sculpture and furniture. The most spectacular example of this can be seen in Lord Curzon's Eastern Museum which is brimming full of a eclectic mix of treasures he amassed whilst Viceroy of India. Outside there is a variety of long and short walking routes, perfect for all the family (dogs included) around the Pleasure Grounds and park land to enjoy.
