Nestled in the picturesque setting of Ipstones Edge, Clockwork Farm House is a beautiful traditional farm house situated on a 60-acre working farm. The Staffordshire Moorlands location feels blissfully remote. However, it’s less than 10 minutes away from Alton Towers, making it ideal for a family break away. This is not a party house. The refurbishment was carried out in 2023. It’s a popular location for walking, cycling, hiking, and climbing in the Peak District. The farmhouse offers three bedrooms and can sleep up to 7 people. The area is very peaceful, and in the mornings, you will wake to the sound of birds singing and the occasional moo from a cow. You're surrounded by unspoilt countryside. You'll understand, therefore, when we say this isn't a party house. Parties are not allowed. Many lovely options on Airbnb offer that kind of hospitality, and we'd ask you to seek those out if you're planning a fun stag weekend etc. Instead, Clockwork Farm House is excellent for families and groups keen to enjoy quiet relaxation with loads of walks. And if that's what you're after, please read on! In the kithcen, a large dining table can seat up to 6 people, perfect for a pleasant meal after a long walk or hike. And there's a spacious living area with sofas and a TV. The kitchen is filled with everything you need and can use it at your leisure. You will be able to create some splendid meals. Note: If you don't fancy cooking, we can make your stay memorable with catering at an extra cost. Why not treat yourself to a fully cooked breakfast, easy supper, or cream tea?! Sharon has worked in hospitality and catering all her life and would be delighted to put together a meal, or meals, for you. If this interests you, please chat with her about menus and dietary needs. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has two single beds. The second bedroom has a double bed. The third bedroom has a single bed and a bunk bed for two people. The accommodation in summary: The ground floor has: - sunroom with a sofa and chair - Fully equipped large kitchen with microwave, toaster, kettle, oven etc - Dining table and chairs - large living room with sofa and two chairs - TV The first floor has: - Main bathroom with bath and separate shower - 2.8 metres x 2.3 metres - Large main bedroom - 4 metres x 3 metres - Second bedroom - 3 metres x 2.5 metres - Third bedroom - 3 metres x 2.3 metres - Second bathroom You'll be pleased to know that the nearest pub is within walking distance, roughly a 30-minute walk away. For those keen to enjoy fresh air, dozens of footpaths provide easy access to the countryside. And Dimmingsdale nearby boasts some of England's finest sandstone bouldering crags for the rock climbers amongst you. However, the area is also very popular for mountain biking. It offers trails for all skill levels, from family-friendly XC routes to gnarly and steep enduro and downhill tracks for hardcore enthusiasts.
Our stay at farm was amazing. The property is beautiful and peaceful, with cozy accommodations and stunning views. Sharon was a fantastic host, welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this farm stay for a relaxing countryside getaway.
This farmhouse was a pleasure to stay in! Sharon was a fantastic host who allowed us extra time to check in and check out given that we were travelling from quite a fair distance. The location was beautiful, with picturesque scenery in which we got to see a few dazzling sunsets! Although remote, the farmhouse is only a short distance away from local villages along with our favourite theme park in the UK! Overall, would highly recommend :)
We had a wonderful stay! Would definitely recommend. Lovely people, very responsive to messages and were more than happy to help when needed. Beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. The cottage was spotless and very cosy. We will definitely be back! Thanks again Sharon, Rob and Stephen you were great hosts. :)
We're close to a lot of things.
We're:
- 9 minutes from Alton Towers
- 7 minutes from the Peak District
- 4 minutes from Peak Wildlife Park
- 15 minutes from Leek
- 16 minutes to Ilam
- 18 minutes from Ashbourne
- 19 minutes from Hartington
- 27 minutes from Emma Bridgewater/The Potteries
You get the idea :)
We're in the Staffordshire Moorlands so I'm afraid public transport doesn't really exist. There are a few buses that go past each day and could pick you up from around 2 miles from where the cottage is based. So we'd recommend use of your own car, bike or walking.
Clockwork Cottage is situated at the end of a long farm drive. So if you have a fancy lowered car, this might not be the property for you. Any questions or concerns, just let us know.
自我介绍
Hi! I’m Sharon. My husband, Stephen, and two boys, Simon and Robert, moved to the Moorlands from Nottinghamshire in 2000. Since then we’ve made it our home. When we arrived, we farmed 10,000 free-range chickens. As you can imagine, that kept us busy! Then in 2013, our son and his wife converted one of the barns into their home. However, they then moved to Leek. And it was at this point that my husband and I decided to test out a new adventure by listing the property on Airbnb. It’s proven to be a fantastic decision. We’ve loved meeting all our guests so far. And it’s been a great addition to our lives, bearing in mind we still live in the main farmhouse on the property. If you come and stay, therefore, you will find yourself sharing our little piece of the Moorlands with… us, around 50 pedigree Dexter cows, 3 cats, and a handful of chickens. I'm so proud to be an Airbnb Superhost. We've had everyone from families, to brides, to newlyweds stay with us. We do everything we can to make sure every experience is special. Check-in is contactless. You’ll access the property through a separate entrance to the side and collect the key from a sanitised key safe. As I’ve explained, we live in the house on the farm. So we're around if you need us, mainly in our house or working just the other side of the farm. Please note: The access to our house runs to the rear of the cottage, so don’t be alarmed if you occasionally see us walking past.
