Accommodation at Standlow Farm is spread across six properties, allowing groups to choose a combination that suits how they want to stay together.

Bluebell, Clover and Daisy Cottages are smaller, self-contained cottages that work well for families or groups who prefer their own space. Each offers open-plan living areas and outdoor space directly linked to the cottage, making them easy, practical bases for everyday living.

The Barn is a larger converted building designed with group stays in mind. Its layout centres around shared living and dining areas, making it a natural choice for bringing everyone together at mealtimes or in the evenings.

Highview Grange is the largest property on the site, sleeping up to 18 guests. With generous dining space and room to spread out, it’s often used as the main hub for larger groups while still allowing guests to retreat to other cottages across the farm.

Across all properties, bedrooms are set up for comfort rather than formality, with practical layouts suited to group stays. Kitchens are well equipped for self-catering at scale, and each property includes access to outdoor space, giving groups the flexibility to gather or unwind as they choose.

Time at Standlow Farm tends to be unstructured and easy, with space to shape days around the group you’re travelling with.

On site, the games barn offers a relaxed indoor space that works well for mixed ages and different energy levels, whether that’s a competitive afternoon or something more low key in the evenings. Outdoor areas across the farm provide room to spend time outside, with fire pits offering a natural place to gather as the day winds down.

The surrounding countryside lends itself to walking and exploring straight from the door, making it easy to head out for fresh air without planning a full day away. For groups staying longer, the layout of the farm also makes it simple to split into smaller groups — some heading out, others staying behind — and regroup later.

With private outdoor areas linked to individual cottages and larger shared spaces elsewhere on the site, activities can be as social or as slow-paced as the group prefers.

Standlow Farm sits in open countryside on the edge of the Derbyshire Dales, with easy access to the wider Peak District. The setting feels rural and unhurried, with space to head out for walks directly from the farm or take short drives to nearby villages and market towns.

Ashbourne is the closest town, offering shops, cafés, and everyday essentials, while the surrounding area is well known for its network of footpaths, quiet lanes, and scenic routes through rolling countryside. This makes Standlow Farm a good base for groups who want a balance of time spent on site and gentle days out without long journeys.

The location works particularly well for group stays, with enough nearby options to keep everyone occupied while still feeling tucked away once you return to the farm.
