We had a change of career a few years ago, and purchased a small number of holiday cottages in the Peak District, which we look after personally. We work in the Peak District, so are always nearby on-call should you need any help or support during your stay. Peak Holidays is a trading name for blue limes ltd a small family owned company, which has been trading since 1999.

Lovingly converted from a hay barn, Sandy’s Barn is set in the beautiful Peak District village of Foolow with quiet, country lanes, pretty limestone cottages, a village green with a medieval cross … even a picture-perfect duck pond, complete with ducks, and the village pub is around 100m away. The Barn is charming, cosy, compact, open plan and upside down, and an ideal place to stay to explore the Peak District. The beds can be either as singles or as a superking on request - the default is superking unless you ask us for singles at least 7 days in advance of your stay. Please note there is no private outside space with the barn. We ask that dogs are kept downstairs, not allowed on the furniture and not left alone in the cottage.

Foolow is a small but delightful village in the White Peak area of the Peak District. It offers quiet, country lanes, pretty limestone cottages, a village green with a medieval cross … even a picture-perfect duck pond, complete with white Aylesbury ducks. The sweet little church of St Hugh is well worth a visit. It was once a smithy, but was consecrated as a church in the late 19th Century. Foolow also has an architecturally interesting Wesleyan chapel dating from 1836. The Bull’s Head pub is situated in the centre of the village and serves honest, locally-sourced food and real ales. The Barrel Inn in the nearby village of Bretton is also within easy walking distance, however, and is reputedly the highest pub in Derbyshire, as evidenced by the spectacular views from its front lawns. Foolow is surrounded by the most glorious Peak District countryside of gently rolling hills, ancient dry-stone walls and tumbledown barns. This is a haven for walkers, with a great many easy routes to follow on mostly level, well-made trails, all offering beautiful views.
