The Hayloft is a traditional stone barn, on a working beef and sheep farm, dating from 1870,  which has been beautifully restored and furnished to a high standard.  The accommodation including ground floor bedrooms is situated in a quiet but central village.

BESST Statement: Our family farm has always been farmed with the environment in mind, with our species rich hay meadows and abundant wildlife.  We try hard to reduce waste and re-use where possible.  We try to use fresh local produce in our Bed and Breakfast and Tea-rooms

Lower Hurst Farm, on the banks of the River Dove, near Hartington, specialises in high quality organic beef production.  All the beef we sell is home bred on the farm. Our customers can know all there is to know about the origin of what they are eating.  We only produce about 50 animals in any one year – so our carefully nurtured product can be likened to an exclusive fine wine.

BESST Statement – We have been fully organic since 1998.  No artificial fertilisers, genetically modified feedstuffs or growth promoting agents are used.  We pride ourselves on offering prize winning organic beef from cattle that we have bred and raised throughout their lives here on the farm.  We regard our carefully nurtured product in the same way as some people appreciate a fine wine.

Delicious Honey: Situated in the heart of the Peak District, and with hives throughout the National Park, we strive to produce honey and other hive products of the finest quality. Our bees are descended from the native British Black Bee (apis mellifera mellifera) and are well suited to our local climate, they have access to wildflower meadows, traditional English gardens, wild areas and heather moorlands. As a result, we have all the ingredients to produce excellent honey that we think is amongst the best you will ever taste.

Meet the Bees: During the early evenings between May and September Mark offers sessions where you can don the outfit and go through a bee hive to find out what these extraordinary creatures do all day!  You will gain a unique insight into their world and will be entertained by Mark with his inimitable style!
