Swallows Nest

A lovely place to stay in a very beautiful area.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely retreat with access to fabulous countryside.

The owners were so welcoming.

Swallows Nest is a comfy, spacious first-floor studio apartment.

It's on a working farm so while it is very quiet, there are a few farm noises in the morning. The location is good, the Rose & Crown with excellent food is a short walk (most of which can be done off road if you follow the track down past the duck pond and then the track which meets the main road just above the pub). [Check opening days]. There are lovely walks around including the Blaze Farm's own nature trail and walk up the hill to the Hog's Chair. The fram's Hilly Billy ice cream is excellent.

Wonderful accommodation with everything you could need,(but could do with a fan for the hot weather) Lovely farm & cafe with gorgeous home made ice cream.

We had a lovely stay at Swallow's nest, within walking distance of the pub (lovely food), Shutlingsloe (iconic peak), Gradbach (great coffee stop) and Wincle (brewery and annual Trout run if you're up for that kind of thing!

). We were very comfortable and the studio was cosy while offering room to store all we wanted/ needed to. Staying on a farm was home from home, and we loved exploring the local area despite/ because of the hills! The ice cream was delicious as was the tea room, and the family and staff all made us feel very welcome. Recommended.

We had a lovely few days stay at the Swallows Nest.

Ideal for a short break. Comfortable bed. So peaceful at night. The sofa wasn't very comfortable though. Friendly hosts and helpful staff. Delicious cakes and icecream from their cafe. Beautiful scenery and surroundings.

What an absolutely beautiful cottage and farm.

It was soo lovely to stay on a working farm with walking trails right on your doorstep, it makes a huge difference if one can get some exercise while being on holiday. There’s a lovely tea room with freshly baked cakes and light meals, which is great! The family of Blaze Farm is really lovely and soo accommodating and caring. This makes such a difference! I absolutely loved my stay and would highly reccommend it to anybody looking for a farm stay.

Absolutely fantastic, peaceful location, lovely ice cream, very clean and well presented.

Just what we needed. Thank you soooo much

I have stayed at this accommodation a number of times now as well as some of the other ones at this site.

The location is excellent, very quiet at night, hosts are really nice, the accommodation is perfect for what you need in a stay, is very clean and modern. Additional bonus is the Ice Cream shop on site as well as a fantastic cafe. I'm sure if I plan another trip to the Peak District I will stay here again.

We found this property cosy and a comfy bed ideal for our needs .

Lovely and clean and ideal to recharge your batteries . The owners of the farm were very friendly It’s an ideal spot for walking in the hills or taking in lovely picturesque views .

We had a lovely stay.

Whole family were lovely and happy to chat. Despite being on a main road it was very quiet and no road noise. Within easy travelling distance of great walks and towns. Loved it!

Swallows’ Nest was just what I needed - a peaceful, comfortable and well-appointed space where I could both rest and venture out in to the surrounding land for enjoyable walks.

The ice cream was a excellent!

Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

We were made most welcome and all the facilities were excellent.

We have had several stays at Blaze Farm in the swallows nest studio and as always we enjoyed our stay lots of beautiful ice cream and hot chocolate we love the whole experience

Another fantastic stay with lovely Katie and family ate lots of lovely ice cream and drank lots of hot chocolate

Lovely studio accommodation.

Nicely presented and well equipped perfect for 2. Set in beatuiful farming countryside. Enjoyed the farm animals, the ice cream and wonderful homemade cake. All on the farm were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you to all.

Swallows Nest is surrounded by cute animals, peaceful and beautiful Peak District farm house which makes us feel very relaxing and welcoming.

The cottage itself is much better than photos and spacious. Location is ideal to visit both historical towns and attractions. We really enjoyed staying and made unforgettable time. So looking forward to visiting there soon. Really recommend other people to stay if you're looking for experiencing real Peak District countryside holiday.

Lovely stay, small but all you could need for a few days away.

Blaze farm has wonderful home made ice cream and coffee shop, there is a way marked walk on site also Hosts are friendly and very helpful, would recommend.

A lovely studio everything as you want it clean and comfortable had a lovely week relaxing

I had a fabulous time, everything was provided that was needed, the apartment is lovely & well equipped , the farm lovely & everybody so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

Location is fabulous with plenty to explore & wonderful hikes.

Lovely property, had everything we needed.

Comfortable and warm, owners were very friendly and helpful. It was nice to spend time on a farm in such a stunning location.

We had another lovely holiday at Blaze Farm Kate, family and staff are wonderful always very pleasant

We stayed at Sallows Nest, very clean and amazing place to stay, love the animals and the ice cream, plus the views are espetacular!

Highly recommended!

Very pleasant stay, super friendly staff and farm cat.

Good location.

Flo & Katy are lovely… Meet & Greet was seamless… lovely little property on their working farm… facilities good… ice cream delicious and the craft studio was lovely… our pottery is being mailed on to us… see you all again next time we’re in the Peaks…

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay.

Very friendly hosts who sell delicious ice cream! Beautiful scenery. Will be back again some day.

As usual everyone at Blaze Farm was very helpful and friendly lovely family and staff very enjoyable stay

A lovely, clean, cosy, and peaceful place.

Ideal for 1 or 2 people. Helpful hosts and beautiful surroundings. Had a thoroughly relaxing stay and would definitely like to return.

We had a great stay in Swallows nest.

The studio apartment is located in a lovely farm, well looked after. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay and its location is fantastic for sightseeing the Peak District. I would recommend this place for a couple. Katy and her family were really accommodating, they even made sure the sheep weren't too loud in the morning which I found hilarious. If you stay here you definitely have to try their hand made ice creams - they are the best in town!

Very comfortable studio apartment on a working farm.

The ice cream parlour and tea rooms on site provide lovely refreshments. The welcome from the owners was friendly and they provided helpful advice and assistance on local interests.

This is the second time I have stayed at the accommodation on Blaze farm and once again I can't praise it enough.

Very clean, modern, has everything you need and a great location and the bonus is the on site restaurant and the ice cream factory! My daughter also loved walking around the farm seeing all the animals.

Fantastic place to stay, would highly recommend.

Spotlessly clean watching the swallows in the evening was mesmerising

We had a lovely peaceful relaxing stay at the busiest time of the summer holidays.

The public areas of the farm are interesting, and available to us at all times We didn't realize that 'studio-style' meant the bedroom lounge dining and kitchen are all the same space, but we still felt we had good value for money.

Lovely stay.

It was very hot while we were there so had breakfast on the patio of ice-cream cafe just round the back of the apartment facing the lovely view of the countryside. The owners were very kind and offered a voucher for a free ice-cream of our choice all handmade. Fantastic. It is a working farm and we found out how many long hours and hard work goes into the upkeep of there business. We found it very interesting. A great place for families to visit for the morning or afternoon as they have a nature trail around the farm with the opportunity to look at goats, sheep, chickens, at close quarters. They have also a pottery workshop where you can book to paint a pot. We will return, as there are several more walks around the area where we would like to go. Thank you for a great few days.

Had a lovely break here, accommodation was amazing and staff and location were perfect.

Just the short break I needed.
