Elm Tree Farm, Lea, Matlock, Derbyshire

New for 2022 - an 7kW electric vehicle charger on site, available to guests free-of-charge!

Elm Tree Farm enjoys an enviable position overlooking the village of Lea, the surrounding fields enclosed by stone walls and the wooded hills south-east of the lively town of Matlock. Well away from the sound of traffic and rich in wildlife, the property feels wonderfully peaceful. An open-fronted barn with outdoor furniture and a barbecue encloses a sheltered grassy courtyard, perfect for relaxation or children's play.

A central location in England, 20 min from the M1 motorway, makes our property ideally suited to reunions of family and friends, often celebrating 'big' birthdays or anniversaries - or just coming back for an annual family get-together. The spacious house permits everyone to be together in the main living area, where the range cooker takes centre stage, or to seek refuge in a quiet sitting room at the other end of the long, narrow building, which has steps throughout. Children can play on the gallery, within sight of parents, but not under their feet!

In addition to the 5 'proper' bedrooms, the walk-through 'Old Parlour' offers an additional double four-poster bed with curtains. A futon and a Z-bed give further flexibility for groups of singles.

While meals are available at the 'Jug & Glass' pub just 300m away, we aim to provide everything you need to cater for all on site. Our supplies of crockery, cutlery, glasses and kitchenware are generous and their cleanliness carefully checked before every let.

We don't just tolerate dogs - we have designed the property to suit their needs! Most enjoy the luxury of one of our 'doggy' duvets atop the underfloor heating. The courtyard is secure for the majority of dogs, while the adjacent spacious grassy parking area is ideal for a supervised early morning stroll. Footpaths lead from the end of the drive to circular walks with a variety of scenic and historic interest.

Our 5-star reviews on Google attest the high quality of our accommodation and the many extras we provide - including a delicious locally-made Bakewell Tart on arrival.
