1. Welcome...

Farlands Holiday Cottage is a self-catering cottage in Hayfield (where the current BBC drama 'The Village' was filmed)  in the Peak District which sleeps up to 4 people. It is available for weekend breaks and longer stays. Please contact James Ellson on 07958 930049 or email ellson3@hotmail.com for further details.

A typical stay at Farlands Cottage will have the following highlights:-

• a warm welcome from James (and possibly a tour of the smallholding);
• a great walk from the door, and either lunch in a local pub or a picnic on the hill;
• tea in front of a roaring open fire (if it's cold) or tea outside the cottage (if it's warm);
• looking for (and hopefully finding!) eggs from our chickens;
• a meal in the local pub and a star-lit walk home back to the Cottage.

Farlands Holiday Cottage is attached to Farlands House, and is part of a smallholding of several acres. Please also see the Far Lands blog http://jamesellson.blogspot.com/which describes life on the smallholding.

2. What's new at Farlands Holiday Cottage?

This photo is from one of our recent walks - it shows Kinder reservoir and not far below it is Farlands Cottage . . .

I run accompanied walks if you want some help with route-finding, carrying your gear or just want a gentle commentary on the local landscape - see section 5 or email for further details.

I also run smallholding tours and fruit and nut tree tours - see section 6 or email for further details.

Cup of tea outside the cottage?
