Luxurious holiday accommodation & private hot tub

Stay in Sumptuous style and comfort

Originally an 18th century cow shippen and piggery, Ford Old Hall Barn sits within a Grade II listed curtilage & delivers all the modern fittings and comfort you would expect from a 21st century conversion.

The barn accommodates 4 people very comfortably, it's ideal for couples, friends or families.

This is a taste of 'updside down' living with a high vaulted beamed ceiling to the open plan living area which has a stunning oak floor with underfloor heating, cosy sofas around a Scandinavian log burner, a choice to dine either at the rustic farm table or at the island counter in the modern fitted oak kitchen area with granite worktops, integrated appliances and all the cooking and dining equipment you need for either a snack or a full Christmas dinner!

Downstairs on entering the barn you will find a very useful utility/boot room with a washer/drier, freezer, sink, overhead clothes airer and the ground source heat pump providing you with heating and hot water 24/7. The whole ground floor has stone floors and also has wonderful underfloor heating.

Down the hallway is the first of two bedrooms, a very cosy twin with heavenly mattress toppers and premium bed linen, there's a fully tiled ensuite bathroom with bath & overhead rain shower, white fluffy towels & facecloths.

There's a separate wardrobe in the hallway with your bath robes and slippers and a very useful understairs cupboard to store away your luggage bags.

At the end of the hallway you will find the gorgeous, spacious super king double with premium bedding and with a fully-tiled modern ensuite wetroom with rain shower & white fluffy towels.

You can access the hot tub directly from the super king bedroom, it sits on a large west facing covered porch with a stone floor and a high wooden ceiling, the porch has a large open front affording you rural views across the orchard. You will see some fabulous sunsets as you face west, there is no light pollution here so we experience fabulous starry skies you can observe whilst relaxing in the 4 person hot tub.

You'll arrive to a table laid for your supper which will be ready for you so you can relax straight away. Your breakfast basket has a home-made loaf, freshly baked pastries, cereals, granola, yoghurt, preserves, ground coffee, milk, fruit juice, eggs from the farm next door and butter. There's also Yorkshire tea, Nescafe instant coffee, sugar, condiments, cleaning materials, washing up liquid etc, you really only need to bring your own personal toiletries along with your luggage! (If you're bringing a baby for the travel cot we find parents much prefer their own bedding so we do ask you to bring that too).

This is a fabulous location, great walking & cycling straight from the door, so much stunning moorland scenery to explore in this south west corner of the Peak District. It's not as jam packed as the centre of the park so you get a real sense of space without the congestion and the added beauty of 'big skies'. Our guests tell us there is so much to do, from beautiful villages such as Tissington & Eyam, historical houses like Chatsworth & Haddon Hall, fun-filled days at Alton Towers & everything in-between.

We have excellent pubs and restaurants all close by and we're happy to recommend the best places from our own local knowledge & experience, we really look forward to hosting a stay for you at Ford Old Hall Barn.

Reviews for Ford Old Hall Barn

Cottage Review logo

Meet the owner

Lynn and Nigel King

We have lived in the beautiful Peak District all our life & we really enjoy meeting guests & sharing our knowledge of the area. We absolutely love living in Ford, it's actually even better than we could have imagined. We found our 16th century Elizabethan home in December 2007, it needed a Grand Designs style makeover & some! Ford is a small hamlet, previously chosen by Quakers as somewhere to provide a safe refuge, hidden away off the beaten track in stunning Staffordshire Moorlands National Park scenery. Hopefully you'll choose to come & experience what it's like for yourself, even if only for a short time. We take enormous pride delivering excellence for our discerning guests, so we've provided everything you'll need & more for a true 'home from home' relaxing stay. We're looking forward to meeting you soon, a warm welcome awaits!
