Slate House Farm

Syntes om Really good communication from the owner, lovely warm welcome. My daughter loved the farm animals. The space around the pods is great, for just a nice setting / view but also space to walk the dog and play around. Pod was well equipped and cosy, with nice touches. Great location for visiting Bakewell and Chatsworth.

Syntes ikke om Nothing really, got a bit warm and stuffy in the heat. Would have been great to have wifi, but were aware that it wasn't available

Syntes om I stayed in one of the pods with my 10-year-old daughter for a couple of nights. I only wish we'd booked a longer stay!
The pod is surprisingly spacious inside and much bigger than it looks from the outside. It's like a tiny house, with everything you could need: a kitchen, a comfortable bed,, sofa, TV, and even an en-suite bathroom with a toilet and shower. We loved the cosy, rustic feel, cleanness, and the super comfy bed.
Outside, there's a deck with plenty of space to enjoy breakfast, as well as a large picnic table and bench next to the pod.
The farm itself is wonderful, with some of the cutest, well-cared-for animals - even a rescued deer.
There's also a little farm shop on site, selling delicious local produce. We especially enjoyed the fresh milk from the vending machine outside. I'd highly recommend trying it, even if you don't usually drink much milk! It tastes so much better than shop - bought.
What really made our stay so special, though, was the wonderful couple who own the farm. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
Thank you both for such a lovely stay. We can't wait to come back!

Syntes om A cozy home away from home Glampod tucked away on a private corner of a working farm. It has all the necessary comforts with a well stocked kitchen, crockery, fridge/freezer, clean bathroom and comfortable beds. You can also enjoy the complimentary fresh bottle of milk on arrival, marshmallows at the fireside and/or BBQ your burgers from one of the many nearby local Farm Shops in the area. They have just started their own Farm Shop as well which hopes to provide local staples from around the community (Slate House Farm Fresh eggs on request!). The outside patio of the Glampod was quite nice to enjoy fireside book reading while also taking in the peaceful beauty of the site. Positively a dog friendly accommodation so my Border Terrier could join in on the adventure too and he also enjoyed a restful visit. Owners were attentive to our needs checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Location wise Slate House Farm is quite ideal for treks out to the various National Trust sites in the Peak District and exploration of Chesterfield and Bakewell. Was also only 15min way from the Chesterfield Dog Park secure field so my dog could stretch his legs after a long journey. Overall a delightful visit which we hope to return to again to enjoy relaxing in the Peak District.

Syntes om Pods are brilliantly set up, with bedding, towels, cutlery etc all included. You can just rock up and chill! Lovely setting, calm and relaxing but lots of space for kids to run around and play and expend some energy! The owners have made some brilliant improvements over the past year (this was our second visit!), with seating areas, ping pong table, a second field for games and even an onsite shop! Loads to do around, clear instructions on arrival and very friendly and helpful owners.

Syntes om Great kitted out pod with everything you can think off saves bringing alot of stuff
Great we could have a fire and left some wood. Only 4 pods and plenty of space between them was really peaceful.

Syntes om Beautiful location with stunning views, plenty of open space, animals around the farm and a lovely fishing lake. We especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to be close to nature. A great place for families looking to explore the Peak District.

Syntes ikke om The main area for improvement would be the water quality and bathroom facilities, as the water had a strong metallic smell and the shower and toilet were sometimes difficult to use.

Syntes om We had a wonderful stay at Slate House Farm. The pods are lovely. Well equipped and very clean. We had a BBQ and a firepit plus a bag of marshmallows! The setting is beautiful. It is just completely surrounded by countryside. We have never camped or stayed in a pod before and I think this was a brilliant place to come to try it out. Our pod had lots of space outside for us to sit and relax and also our own picnic bench to eat at. A really big grassy area too for the kids to play. The farm has places to explore with more seating away from the main pod area and a separate field for playing football.

Syntes ikke om The only thing I would flag is that the pod was really snug for 4 - 2 adults with 2 bigger kids (10 and 12). It was a lot of juggling things around to get our beds down each night. But I guess that is the camping experience! We would still do it all again.

Syntes om Green open spaces for the kids to run about freely, beautiful views. Pod had all the little things you might need, plus some extras like marshmallows for toasting. Extra bedding stored under the bed, plenty of towels, bottles of water in the fridge.

Syntes ikke om Just a few niggles, nothing major.
Dvd player didnt work and boiler often wouldn't ignite so we were without hot water for showers or washing up on a couple of nights. We managed.

Syntes om We had a lovely stay at Slate House Farm Pod. The pod was very spacious and equipped with everything you need. We received a very warm welcome from the owners, who made us feel at home straight away.
The surroundings are absolutely amazing, with stunning views everywhere you look. There is also a lovely pond next to the pod, which made the stay even more relaxing. We especially loved seeing all the animals — ponies, horses, chickens, and baby sheep.
We had such a lovely time and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful countryside getaway!

Syntes ikke om The mattress was a little too soft for someone with sciatica, but the owners kindly offered another mattress straight away, which we really appreciated.
