About Us

Chestnut Farm is a 17th century Derbyshire farm, longbarn and dairy that have been sympathetically converted into individual properties that combine modern comfort with the distinctive construction methods of the era. 

Set within 1¼ acres of courtyard and grounds, the farm looks out over the undisputed beauty of the Peak District National Park and yet is less than 15 minutes to the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. 

Retaining many original features including beams and exposed stone walls, each cottage offers individual holiday accommodation, welcoming couples, families or lone travellers. It is situated in Uppertown, just above the village of Bonsall, high above the wooded 'Via Gellia' gorge, it is ideal for walkers with the Limestone Way passing immediately alongside the farm.
 
Matlock is merely 10 minutes away with a main supermarket, bus and rail, and a steam train that goes up the Derwent Valley. The lively town of Matlock Bath is only 2½ miles by car and has a mining museum, Abraham Cable Cars and Gullivers Kingdom.

All the scenic delights of the Peak District are a short drive away, including Carsington Water, High Peak Trail, Dovedale and the Manifold Valley. The market towns of Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne are all within a half hour drive along with Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and the Crich Tramway Village. 

There are 2 village pubs both within walking distance and a local Deli and Garden Centre.
