    Starting with the positive, the hut itself was really well appointed with everything you could need and very spacious. The location and views were amazing and it’s very secluded and private. However, the whole experience was really disappointing and let down by the poor sleeping experience we had. The mattress was unbelievably hard and we had no sleep at all and were left exhausted, in pain and with sore and aching shoulders and back. It was such a shame when everything else was so good. We went to recharge and rest up … we ended up coming home more exhausted. It just wasn’t comfortable not even the chairs.

    Stunning and relaxing location and the most comfortable and quality accommodation. We stayed in Haddy's Hut which is a gem of place to stay. We were met by Julie who explained everything and when we walked in to the hut we're met with the most bright and clean accomodation and an amazing home made cake 😃. A bright and cosy accomodation with all you need for a stay. All facilities here are spotless and top quality. We enjoyed 2 evenings sat outside with fire pit and marshmallows and enjoyed the peace and stars. Great place to base for walks and visits to local attractions. There is a railway station 30 mins walk away, if required. We visited the Cheshire Cheese pub 20 mins walk away and had great food and service. Overall, amazing hosts, amazi g accomodation in the most relaxing and peaceful location. Will definately visit here again.

    An ideal location to stay for exploring The Peak District. We stayed in The Dairy which has all the facilities you need for a self catering break. The cottage was very comfortable, great after a day walking, and has great views from the upstairs living room. Good over bath shower and cosy bed. Julie was friendly and the lemon drizzle cake, on arrival, went down very well :) Would certainly recommend staying at Oaker Farm and we hope to return in the future.

    It's a beautiful place. Tidy, comfortable well equipped, wonderfully situated fir walking or just sitting about. The only one tiny thing I could think of changing is that with matching towels for all four of us, it's quite hard to keep track of which are whose. The views are wonderful, the cottage itself and outside courtyards are restful and perfectly maintained. The birdboxes and feeders are lovely, we watched swallows, wrens, robins and a woodpecker visiting.

    An absolutely gorgeous cottage at the end of a lane off the main Hope Valley Road. Superb in every way. You won't need for anything in terms of comfort, cleanliness and peace. You can walk directly from the cottage in the hills. However, just 30-45 minutes drive and you are at Chatsworth House (just Wow!), Buxton, Victorian Spa Town or Cromford Mill of Arkwright fame. We will certainly book again when in the area.

    We had great days on Oaker Farm, which is located in the heart of the Peak District and a great spot for hiking. The cottage was absolutely clean, well equiped, and nicely decorated. Also, the whole farm is very lovely and in a great condition. We can highly recommend this place!
