About this property
Stunning location with fantastic walking, mountain-biking, wildlife - and wifi.
Farlands Cottage in the heart of the Peak District is a great place to stay at all times of the year. It is close to the village of Hayfield, and in a stunning location - the BBC series 'The Village' was filmed around here. It can be a quiet atmospheric retreat – it has a log fire, and is well-equipped (the wifi has recently been changed (Aug 2018) and now works perfectly.) Equally, there is always lots to do and see. The Cottage is the left-hand wing of the impressive 19th century Farlands House. It is comfortable and homely; ideal for recovering from a hard day in the outdoors, or from life in general! Enjoy eggs and honey from the smallholding, and relax with a BBQ, or in front of the log fire in the living room.
We can now offer:-
1. accompanied walks - if you want some help with route-finding, carrying your gear or just want a gentle commentary on the local landscape.
2. smallholding tours - 2 tours available: Highlights (1 hour) and the Full Tour (2 hours)
3. The Green tour (new!) - see and discuss in detail the biomass boiler (wood pellets), the solar panels, the water system, energy efficiency and recycling. All based on a greener, more sustainable way of life.
If you are looking to change the way you live, then this tour may gave you some ideas.
Free range eggs are available to buy along with Farlands comb honey.

About the host
Hosted by James Ellson
My wife Sarah works in Manchester, while I work from home.
I run our smallholding which we are busily developing. We have a large veg garden, a young orchard, a fruit tree nursery, over 250 trees (lots of bird boxes), bees, chickens and turkeys.
We are keen on a more sustainable way of life; we have installed PV (solar panels), and have changed our oil heating system to wood pellet (biomass).
I am an independent writer and have written for Living Woods, Smallholder, Climber and Summit magazines. I have written a memoir, Cop Down, and a trilogy of novels about a fictional DCI. Looking for a publisher!
We love the walking from the door. We are keen mountaineers and backpackers.
We often chat with our guests, and we welcome new ideas, and look forward to discussing both our and your plans and aspirations.

Why they chose this property
We moved to Hayfield in 2004 for the hills – fantastic walking, and some climbing. But, it is still only 25 mins and 45 mins from the culture of Buxton and Manchester respectively.
We moved to Farlands in 2010 (the holiday cottage is attached to our house) because it is even closer to the hills (3 footpaths from the door), and is a unique property in a truly stunning location.
We will not be moving again!

What makes this property unique
Fab walking from the door.
Great mountain biking, or more leisurely cycling on the Sett Valley trail. Also, horse-riding, and of course fell-running!
Enjoy a tour of the smallholding or the Green tour.
Enjoy free-range eggs and Farlands honey.
Relax in front of the log fire after a day on the hills or a hard period at work.
Plenty to see from the window or in the immediate local area, both for kids and adults.
