Moderne og luksuriøs ombygget lade i Peak District National Park

We bought High Ridge in 2016, and for two years provided just about every tradesman in the area with gainful employment renovating, modernising, landscaping, improving and refurbishing High Ridge.

Of all the properties we viewed, High Ridge stood out for its fabulously quiet rural location and wonderful views with easy access to countryside walks. We can pop in to Leek and bring back fish and chips still hot, and Ocado, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons all deliver here, as does the excellent award-winning Indian restaurant Pabna. The local pub The Ship in Wincle does great food, as does the Lazy Trout in nearby Meerbrook.

It's a great place to live, and a great place to stay for a week or a weekend.

After a bracing walk or cycle ride, what could be better than unwinding in a sauna? Located in your extensive private garden is a modern Scandi wooden sauna pod with authentic Harvia wood-burning heater and separate changing area. Just give us a couple of hours notice and we will prepare your sauna for walk-in readiness. We provide hammam towels, sauna slippers, sauna oils and water pail, sauna timer and bottles of local Crag spring water. There is a hot and cold water shower pod next to the sauna for cooling off.

The very large landscaped private gardens include a spacious York stone terrace with wonderful country views to enjoy with your outdoor dining or BBQ (large and smaller Weber BBQs with cooking tools and charcoal provided). There is seating for 8 at our bespoke garden table with parasol and benches.

As dog owners ourselves we recognise that a dog-friendly holiday needs to be properly dog-friendly. We have converted one of the stables into a dog grooming parlour equipped with a professional walk-in electric-lift dog bath, heated shower, grooming table with pet hairdryer and grooming items including brush, comb and Wahl almond shampoo. Inside the barn you will find dog beds (small, medium, large and enormous), dog food and water bowls, throws for the furniture, spare collars and leads with High Ridge Barn ID tags, and a pet first aid kit. Plus organic dog treats which are loved by all dogs!

We know that work commitments often interrupt a holiday so why not work from High Ridge Barn in your own dedicated holiday HQ without disturbing your fellow guests. We will convert one of the four bedrooms into an office with a modern desk, an ergonomic Herman Miller chair, and an anglepoise lamp. The superfast broadband makes Zoom and Teams meetings easy and if someone's droning on you can always enjoy the view!
