Oaker Farm Holidays - Cottages and Shepherd's Hut

We had great days on Oaker Farm, which is located in the heart of the Peak District and a great spot for hiking. The cottage was absolutely clean, well equiped, and nicely decorated. Also, the whole farm is very lovely and in a great condition. We can highly recommend this place!

Oaker Farm is situated in a superb location at the end of a quiet country lane but within easy and accessible reach of amenities. Wonderful scenery from every window and numerous walks direct from the doorstep. Having now stayed in all cottages and Haddy's Hut we can honestly say the high standard of accommodation, attention to detail and level of cleanliness is apparent throughout. Stephen and Julie are always friendly and welcoming and work hard to achieve such wonderful holiday accommodation.

What a fabulous find! We stayed in Hardy’s Hut last week & it was 1st class with everything we needed & more. If you like walking or just want to take time to chill it’s perfect. We parked the car up on arrival & didn’t use it until we departed. Will be recommend Oaker Farm Holidays to everyone.

Stayed at Haddy’s (the shepherds) Cottage. It was pristine and beautifully kept. A quiet corner with a view to the hills in Hope Valley and the ever munching sheep. Perfect for 2 people.

It is a shame there isn't a sixth star to tick, as I was unable to find a fault with our holiday or the accommodation, or the location. The cottage (Lose Hill) was sparklingly clean and had every possible convenience. The kitchen was fully equipped, and had enough for 4 settings. The log burner in the sitting room was a blessing as the evenings we're starting to chill off a bit. The double bed was lovely and comfortable. As for the location of the farm. Because you are at the end of a lane, there is no noise from passing road traffic, just the occasional hiker on the footpath along the back if the property, and the rumble of a train from the line across the valley.We found the farm well situated for the local conveniences in Hope, and we made use of the pubs, and shops (which are well stocked with necessities).Sauced Here, recommended by the hosts, provided a food delivery which was on the side when we arrived. All good quality and it meant that we didn't need to go back out that day.Thoroughly recommended if you want a tranquil break, to walk, drive and explore. We will definitely be going back. Thank you both.

Starting with the positive, the hut itself was really well appointed with everything you could need and very spacious. The location and views were amazing and it’s very secluded and private. However, the whole experience was really disappointing and let down by the poor sleeping experience we had. The mattress was unbelievably hard and we had no sleep at all and were left exhausted, in pain and with sore and aching shoulders and back. It was such a shame when everything else was so good. We went to recharge and rest up … we ended up coming home more exhausted. It just wasn’t comfortable not even the chairs.

It's a beautiful place. Tidy, comfortable well equipped, wonderfully situated fir walking or just sitting about. The only one tiny thing I could think of changing is that with matching towels for all four of us, it's quite hard to keep track of which are whose.The views are wonderful, the cottage itself and outside courtyards are restful and perfectly maintained. The birdboxes and feeders are lovely, we watched swallows, wrens, robins and a woodpecker visiting.

Our stay in the Old Dairy at Oaker Farm was everything that we'd hoped for. It was a lovely, cosy cottage with everything that we needed and was peaceful and surrounded by dramatic countryside. We chose this spot so that we could go on a few walks and were delighted to find a couple outside the door. In the evenings the village of Hope offered a choice of eateries. The Cheshire Cheese has lovely food or the Curry house on the main road offers equally good meals. In one week we've barely experienced all that the Dark Peak area has to offer and look forward to returning.

An ideal location to stay for exploring The Peak District. We stayed in The Dairy which has all the facilities you need for a self catering break. The cottage was very comfortable, great after a day walking, and has great views from the upstairs living room. Good over bath shower and cosy bed. Julie was friendly and the lemon drizzle cake, on arrival, went down very well :) Would certainly recommend staying at Oaker Farm and we hope to return in the future.
