About the host

Host profile image
We moved to Troutsdale Farm when we started our married life together - its such beautiful location by Tittesworth Reservoir in the South West Peak District area - and area of outstanding natural beauty and one we really love and appreciate. We started farming here together in 1971 when it was a rented farm from Severn Trent Water Authority (they owned the land around the Reservoir) - never thinking that we would one day we would be able to own it - but in our 60's we were offered the chance to buy it .... so we bought 'home'..... it s very much our home and we treat our holiday cottage guests as being your home to. We raised 4 daughters here and we know how precious time away can be - it takes some organising when you have to leave a farm for week! - so to us it is the little things that count also - we like to make sure it is how we would like to have found it after a long journey with 4 daughters - clean!

Why they chose this property

When we first thought about converting the barns we wanted to keep as much of the character and agricultural heritage as possible - we wanted you to have a 'barn feel experience' but with all modern conveniences too..... and a bit of luxury.
These 2 cottages - have the most amazing views of The Roaches - something we never get bored of throughout the seasons - everyone that comes says 'Wow.... that view is special' .... and you can enjoy from the cottage window, or the garden with a BBQ overlooking our wildflower meadow too.

What makes this property unique

We just love these buildings - we wanted to still retain that barn feel and the agricultural heritage inside - yet all the modern amenities we would want in a quality accommodation if we were going away with our 4 daughters. We wanted to create somewhere special .... for special stays - by it being a unique 'barn experience' and for you to enjoy all the wood, stone and brick features inside - so many children say 'wow' when they walk in through the door - it is lovely to hear.

You can enjoy the peace and quiet of the area - yet within a short distance there really is so much and such a wide variety of things to do.

The Peak District views are amazing from the farm - and from the cottage gardens there is near 180 degrees panoramic views - Gun Hill to the left, the iconic "Roaches" Rocks infront and Morridge Hill to the right. We are so easy to find off the main road, yet once down our drive it is peaceful and secluded but not isolated. The doorstep footpath walks are great - and we enjoy walk going with the Grandchildren down to Tittesworth Reservoir - takes us about 30 minutes to walk - its is fields footpaths (and a tiny section of minor road to cross/walk) where they love the great children's play area or walk around the nature trail around Tittesworth Reservoir - all with great views - oh and getting an icecream or something to eat at the Cafe - and the old grandchildren now enjoy paddleboard and canoeing too on the waters.

Turn left a the end of our drive and you are on a straight through road to Buxton - lovely spa town, with beautiful Peak District views on the way, and only about 15 minutes drive away too.

Turn right at the end of our drive and within 5 minutes you are into the historic market town of Leek with its farmers and makers markets and independent shops as well as major supermarkets etc
