The Milking Parlour is a beautiful conversion that sleeps 6 adults (+1 child/small adult on a pull-out bed), with underfloor heating throughout provided by our eco wood pellet boiler. Featuring an enclosed private garden with stunning view across the valley and a sheltered hot tub, this property's garden adjoins our other 6 bed, The Cow Shed. Larger bookings can rent both spaces with access into either garden via a gate between the two; this gives families and large gatherings the freedom to move between gardens (this gate is permanently locked for separate parties.)

Dog friendly haven.

This property is very well thought out, you have everything you need and is exceptionally dog friendly, you can tell the owner are dog people. The enclosed outside garden is perfect for morning toilet trips. This is a beautiful clean and comfortable place to stay and I will highly recommend it to anyone holidaying with their dogs (or without). The hot tubs are a bonus. There are no negatives.
The communication with the owners was brilliant from start to finish and a lot of thought care and attention is put into all of these properties we would definitely return again one day.

Wonderfully relaxing break in The Milking Parlour at Shady Hall Farm. The accommodation is first class - beautifully decorated and very well equipped (the bedroom fans were especially appreciated!) and my family really enjoyed spending time in the garden and hot tub with its lovely views. The hosts were super helpful, responding quickly to any queries we had. Great personal touches - scones, clotted cream, jam and Prosecco left for us on arrival, plus flowers and a card for my birthday. Highly recommend.



A lovely stay

We had such a wonderful weekend at The Milking Parlour, Chloe and her family could not have done enough for you. The home was just what we needed along with some lovely views and a fabulous hot tub.
Would definitely recommend.

Me and my 6 friends stayed here for 3 nights for a birthday. The cottage was spotless from top to bottom. The decor was beautiful, modern but also in keeping of the character of the property. I only had contact with Chloe, but she was extremely helpful, understanding and made the booking process easy and convenient. I would stay again in a heartbeat. It was a lovely place to wind down and just spend time together. Thank you for having us!

We stayed in the Milking Parlour and Cow Shed from Friday to Sunday. There were 15 of us and everything was amazing. Chloe was brilliant at promptly answering all my (many) questions and gave us great suggestions for food and pubs. The accommodation was spectacular- a really high standard that made the weekend feel like a huge treat. The fizz and scones on arrival was such a lovely touch. We will be back for sure!



Absolutely Fabulous!!!

Can’t rate this property highly enough. Super decor, immaculately clean, warm, well equipped…I could go on! Stayed with four friends and the five of us had to a of space. The beds were super comfortable and the hot water never ran out despite showers and baths each day. Beautiful hill to views from the hot tub. All in all, absolutely wonderful. Do not hesitate to book this, you will love it

We had a lovely few days in the Milking Parlour with our family of 5 and dog, Teddy. We loved the hot tub with the lovely view beyond the garden overlooking the valley. The garden felt safe for the dog and the house was a very good size for 3 grown up lads and their parents. We also loved the local pub, the Fox and Hounds, which is within walking distance from the cottage. I’m sure we’ll be back again at some point!

We had a fabulous and relaxing time. A special bonus was the hot tub; sitting in the hot tub while looking at the beautiful countryside, amazing! Directly from the property, we went for a lovely walk to one of the pubs; a good walk followed by a pub lunch, the best time had! The property is very well maintained. As soon as we walked through the door, we know we would enjoy our stay. Thank you for the added touches to make our stay special. We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful 3 days ( wish it could have been longer) in the Milking Parlour at Shady Hall Farm. The house was beautiful and every comfort had been considered. There were freshly baked scones, Prosecco and fresh flowers to greet us on arrival. All the basic provisions were supplied and the house was so cosy to come in to. Everything was spotlessly clean and modern. We loved the wood burner and the hot tub and the views were spectacular. Privacy was respected but we knew the owners Chloe, Karen and Allan were available if we needed anything. Too much to compliment here. Suffice to say it was a 5 star experience which we would thoroughly recommend and one which we would love to repeat.

Everything about our stay at the Milking Parlour was just perfect. The accommodation was beautifully presented and well equipped with everything you could need. We loved the garden as did our cocker spaniel and we spent many relaxing evenings in the hot tub watching the sun set.
The owners live on site if needed but not at all intrusive - thank you for the welcome gift which we thoroughly enjoyed.
We had a fabulous week exploring the Peak District and will definitely be back!

We stayed for a weekend in late February. Luckily the weather was dry and sunny although very cold outside. The Milking Parlour was lovely and warm.
The decor and fittings are high end and lovely. Everything was easy to use.
The hot tub, garden and many of the windows had beautiful views.
The owners were extremely helpful during the booking process and whilst there.
The welcome gift was much appreciated!
It was easy to get into the Peak District from the property so two days of the great outdoors was enjoyed.
Beds are very comfortable so everyone slept well and it was so peaceful both during the day and at nighttime.
We would definitely return.
