The Perfect Stay In The Heart Of The Peak District
Just outside historic Eyam in the heart of the Peak District, Top Riley is a peaceful, pet-free haven just for grown-ups. With three stone cottages, two woodland cabins and a secluded Barn, it’s the perfect base for exploring the Peak District, from walks straight from your door to days out in Bakewell and at Chatsworth.
Take your morning tea outside and see what birds you can spot. When you feel like a walk, follow the path around our 20 acres of private meadow or stop on a bench and look out towards Curbar and Froggatt Edges.
There’s woodland alongside the meadow, and you’re welcome to take your time here. If you fancy a day with nothing planned, you can leave the car where it is and bring a book outside.
At the Barn, a walk through the fields brings you to your own place in the countryside. Take your breakfast outside and linger over the view, or bring a book out in the afternoon and see how long it takes you to turn a page.
In the stone cottages, there’s the warmth of a log fire to come back to after a walk. You can put the kettle on, make supper in your own kitchen and settle in for an evening by the fire.
At the woodland cabins, the trees are close by and the big windows let you enjoy the view from inside. On a quiet morning, take your coffee out to your private patio and see what birds you can spot.
Each is a lovely place to spend time together, with your own kitchen and outdoor space. If there are four of you, Hollow Brook has two bedrooms and room for everyone.
