Welcome to High Ridge Barn

Luxury Self-Catering in the Peak District National Park

High Ridge Barn is 100% 5-star rated by our guests. Overlooking the picturesque Swythamley valley in the Peak District National Park, the Barn provides a luxurious base for a peaceful countryside break. Our only neighbours are red deer, sheep, wild birds & owls plus our rescue hens and hedgehogs.

The 17th Century pink stone High Ridge Barn is recently renovated and designed throughout to provide a modern interior giving a light and bright yet cosy feel, centred around the wood-burning stove, and the open-plan kitchen dining design means everyone can join in the conversation... even those on chef duty. The enormous double-height barn has 4 double bedrooms with super king, king or single luxury beds with hotel quality bedding, sleeping up to 8 people plus babes-in-arms. Up to 4 dogs are very welcome too! Just about everything is provided for your stay so you can enjoy travelling light.

Outside you can enjoy using the wood-burning sauna, BBQ, covered and lit dining area and large enclosed private garden. There is parking for up to 5 cars, plus a charger for electric vehicles.

Try some fabulous walks from the doorstep - Lud’s Church, along the spectacular Roaches high gritstone ridge, picture-perfect nearby Wincle (with its artisan brewery) on the pretty River Dane, and the scenic Three Shires Head using the maps provided.

Space and comfort for get-togethers at the Barn

Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, university pals reunion or simply to enjoy our magnificent countryside, the Barn is great for groups.

Warm cosy living

We have combined fresh, Scandi-inspired furnishings with country comforts such as a wood-burning stove and plump Loaf sofas. We have all the mod cons too, such as superfast WiFi, Smart TV and Bluetooth Audio Pro speaker.

Stylish dining

We don't cut corners here. Our crockery is white Thomas porcelain, our dining table is an Eero Saarinen Tulip table and our dining chairs are Eiffel. We have all manner of glassware, and a wine fridge to keep what you're pouring into it cool.

Chef-level kitchen

One of our visiting chefs told us it's one of the best-equipped holiday let kitchens he's been in, and who are we to argue. We have everything from ample cutlery and crockery all the way through to a top-notch food processor.

Boutique bedrooms

Slumber gently on our comfy mattresses with feather & down duvets and pillows (hypoallergenic also available), and cool 1000-thread count Egyptian cotton bedding; you won't want to get out of bed in the morning!

BBQ

BBQs are a perennial favourite here at High Ridge. Who wouldn't love cooking in our beautiful surroundings. We have 2 Weber BBQs; a 57cm and a 37cm to keep veggie/vegan food separate from the meaty stuff. We'll provide you with charcoal and lighters to get going.

All-weather enjoyment

Don't let a little bit of rain or a hot summer sun stop you enjoying the garden. Our posh pergola with louvered roof, roll-down sides and built-in lighting will keep you dry, cool and cosy as the occasion demands.

Sauna

No, we don't have a hot tub. But let's be honest, they are not exactly great for the environment which is why we decided against one. We are absolutely sure though that you will LOVE our Scandi wood-fired sauna and outdoor shower.

Private garden

Your personal, secure garden area extends to half an acre, and includes a huge lawn, york-stone terrace, tables and chairs, sun loungers, games and parking for up to 5 cars.

Everything's here for babies and toddlers - travel light!

We have loads of baby and toddler facilities here at the Barn, so when it comes to packing up the car you can leave room for the other stuff, like wine!

Cots, beds & bedding

We have a full-sized Mothercare cot, a Red Kite travel cot and an Ikea Sniglar toddler bed. All with duvet, pillows and bed linen. We also have two baby monitors, one with video.

Bathing and changing

Here at the Barn we have a baby bath, anti-slip mats and a bath thermometer. Also you'll find changing mats and a nappy disposal bin.

Mealtimes

We've loads of baby and toddler-safe plates, bowls, bibs, mugs, spoons, forks and so on, as well as two types of high chair.

Safety

Keep an eye on the wee ones with our secure video baby monitor. We also have plug socket covers, fireguard, nightlights, LED candles and a stairgate.

Dogs are specially catered for

Beds, bowls, water bottles, poo bags and bins, a dog washing cabin with hot shower, professional bath and hair dryer, we've got the lot. We even have a doggy first aid kit.

Outside space

There's half an acre of secure space for your doggy companions to roam, run and sniff as they please. We provide waste bags, and a bin to put them in too.

Bath time

Everything for squeaky clean dogs of all sizes! Save your back by bathing them in the hydraulic lift professional dog bath. They'll love the warm shower, Wahl almond shampoo and having a blow dry courtesy the pet-quiet dryer. Or use one of the many dog towels provided.

Sleeping

Dog beds of all sizes are provided - from the tiniest terrier to the largest hound! Fleece-lined hard shell beds in 3 sizes, plus 2 enormous memory foam mattresses can be provided. Throws cover the sofas and every bed, and both downstairs bedrooms have solid oak floors.

Mealtimes

Dog bowls are supplied, including a K9H2O dog water container for those lovely walks, and of course a container of dog treats!
