The Old Shippon

We've really enjoyed our week at the old shippon.

Thankyou to Florence (you're a star) and Katy for treats in cafe. Nice comfortable and warm place to be. Beautiful surroundings for walking, good base for nearby towns.

We were very pleasantly surprised on arriving at The Old Shippon and was in no way disappointed throughout our holiday.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The owner not only made us feel very comfortable but the extra touches made it feel very homely. The cafe and home made food including lovely ice creams were also a big bonus. Our very best stay Wr are in the coming days going to book The Old Shippon for next year

Fantastic .

. a working farm open to the public . Our accomodation was cosy and comfortable very well maintained facing directly into the farm yard . Everything we possibly needed . An onsite cafe right next door for ice cream and lunches . The ice cream was exceptional so many flavours to choose from .we hope to book again for lambing season .

Lovely property on a working farm , I think it should be made clear it is actually attached to the ice cream parlour and there are visitors to the ice cream parlour literally outside your window , however this wasn’t a problem as there are goats chickens and sheep in the adjoining field and a lovely nature trail .

What a place.

"Home from Home!!!" springs to mind. We arrived and so easy to get to and access to cottage its self so straiggt forward. Very welcoming people, chatted with us as well as leaving us to our holiday. A lovely voucher gifted to us, for treats -ice cream was awesome,

Great location for walking and visiting local towns and NT properties etc.

Good accommodation with all the facilities you could wish for. Very nice hosts

We enjoyed our stay at Blaze Farm , in a great setting on this working farm and the owners were more than helpful , with nothing too much trouble for all our needs .

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in this beautiful part of the peak district , with so many places of interest a short distance away . One of the best and with the bonus of friendly and helpful hosts. The ice cream is to die for .

The Old Shippon was as described, welcoming, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Everything you needed was in the cottage. Situated on a farm it was interesting watching the sheep shearing which was a bonus. The cafe serves lovely lunches and the hill billy ice cream was amazing and such a huge choice too. Don’t rely on the cafe for breakfast it’s mainly coffee, lunch and afternoon tea snacks. Great choice for that and the scones are out of this world served with jam and cream!! Yummy! Very hard working family run the farm a big shout out to Florence and Katy who make you extremely welcome and work from dawn to dusk!! Set high up in the Peak District it is far from shops so take necessities with you. Nature Trail on the farm which kids would love too but we certainly enjoyed it. Local pubs good for meals out too. Highly recommend

We loved our stay couldn't complain about the comfort and the owners were very friendly and helpful too.

Only slight thing is bathroom could do with a couple of hooks for towels etc.

A comfortable base with stunning countryside views.

Good self catering facilities although there's no freezer compartment in the fridge. Easy access to lots of National Trust properties in the area.

A lovely place to stay on a working farm with a tea room selling delicious food and ice cream.

The staff were really friendly and we were given vouchers for the tea room. The apartment was clean and spacious.

Great place to stay.

Wonderful facilities and very nice and helpful hosts. Much to see and do in the locality.

Perfect for a short stay, everything we needed.

It was a touch warm for us, but we are probably in the minority. Would have perhaps appreciated a little more detail on walks and local attractions, but noted staff were happy to assist. On the whole, very good.

Cold and rainy November but the accommodation is absolutely perfect for our needs.

Super warm. Excellent facilities and perfect for dog cause easy to clean. Lack of phone signal but WiFi connects easily. The farm where the apartment is has fab tea rooms with ice cream that's home made with unusual variety! The scenery is to die for!

We absolutely loved it.

Close to everything we wanted to see. Nice trails around the farm. Really lovely owners

The Old Shippon was easy to find very comfortable, lovely and warm.

Big fluffy towels and a huge shower so perfect. oh and friendly owners. The ice cream was the best ever!!!
