Slate House Farm

Positiv Where do I even begin? This place truly deserves 11 out of 10 stars! ⭐ From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The glamping pod was spotless, cosy and equipped with everything we needed. The surroundings were peaceful and beautiful, and we loved meeting the sheep,pigs and horses. Our dogs had the best time too! The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful. This is honestly one of the best places we've ever stayed, and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for making our stay so special! ❤️🐑🐴🐶

Positiv Great location, pod was super cosy, clean, well kept and the hosts were extremely welcoming. Lots of lovely touches like, complimentary milk, tea, coffee, sugar, and Marshmallows. Fire pit and bbq provided too. Very dog friendly and the little shop was very well stocked. Bed was so comfy, hivh provided the best night's sleep. Very affordable and the farm animals are very cute.

Positiv 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.

Negativ 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

Positiv 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!

Positiv 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.

Positiv 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.

Positiv 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.

Positiv 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.

Negativ 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.

Positiv 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.

Negativ 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.
