The Piggery

The Piggery is a lovely place to stay, it's a lot bigger inside than it appears from the photos; it's about 500 square foot inside.

Beautiful unspoilt views of the surrounding countryside. Despite there being an ice cream parlour/cafe next door it really didn't bother us as we were out and about elsewhere during opening hours. Flo the property owner is a star and made sure we had everything we needed for very enjoyable stay. Excellent value for money compared to other nearby places in the Buxton area.

We had a brilliant time scenery was beautiful our hosts made us feel welcome the ice cream was the tastiest I have ever had we will definitely be booking again.

We zijn een week in The Piggery geweest.

Prachtige locatie en prima huisje, goed schoon. De stoelen en bank zijn niet echt comfortabel, bed is ok. Er is flink wat levendigheid doordat het een ice-farm is met veel klandizie. Het ijs is dan ook verrukkelijk. Er liggen vouchers in het huisje om een ijsje te proberen en voor koffie met iets lekkers. De dames zijn allemaal erg aardig, vooral veel gepraat met de oude dame. De ontvangst door een meneer was niet echt vriendelijk, hij gaf ons de sleutel en dat was het. Geen tijd voor ons blijkbaar....

An absolutely beautiful stay.

Ice cream and cakes were delicious and host was super friendly! Kitchen was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. View was amazing. Only slight issue was privacy, although secluded didn’t realise we were in a farm that visitors could walk up to the window. Shouldn’t be an issue for most as it’s not a regular occurrence we did one or two visitors:) But this would not deter us from coming again! Thank you so much

A wonderful place to stay, great views and hosts lovely and they work so hard.

Disappointed to have missed the lambing so will make the return visit better planned although did get to see one lamb. A tiny freezer section would be nice even just for ice cubes and we found it very cold on arrival until the heating kicked in the following day and then it was perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning

Lovely place with views over valley.

Walk around the farm was perfect for us. Ice-cream and cafe well received . Would we stay again yes definately.

We had a wonderful week staying in The Piggery.

It was well equipped, the bed was really comfortable, the shower was great and it was SO quiet and peaceful at night. It was made even more special by the amazing view right on our doorstep! This was our second stay at Blaze Farm. It’s such a lovely place to relax and chill out. We were made to feel so welcome by Katy and we really enjoyed our little chats in passing with her parents too. There is a cafe on site selling amazing homemade cakes and their own ice cream in loads of different flavours! Yum! We love animals so to have them there as neighbours for the week was an absolute delight! There are 4 types of accommodation at Blaze Farm now so if you’re thinking about staying then don’t hesitate. We highly recommend it and would like to say a big thank you to Katy for being such a wonderful host.

Our second stay here.

It is comfortable for two people. Location and views are amazing too.

A perfect secluded get away in an idyllic location overlooking magnificent scenery.

We loved the property and the view.

The owners and staff of the farm went out of their way to be helpful. We appreciated the free coffees and cakes as well as the ice cream which was delicious. The farm is very quiet and restful.

We liked it very much, never stopped anywhere that didn’t provide a little milk in the fridge though(sorry to sound picky) we really appreciated the clean white bedding especially, and as everyone says ,the views were lovely.

We found it easy to find also. 9 out of 10 overall

This cottage is amazing.

Looks small from outside but feels much larger inside. Cottage is clean and comfortable. Ideal for a short stay. Location is perfect. Views are incredible. Made to feel welcome. Voucher for use at onsite ice cream parlour very much appreciated.

Very welcoming, friendly, and relaxing place.

Would highly recommend The Piggery.

Cooking and frying pans are to small

Best vacation, wonderful views, really helpful and welcoming host, for sure going back again soon.

This was my third visit to The Piggery and it was just as good as before.

Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, thoughtfully equipped. Beautiful views across the hills and pretty private considering it is a busy farm (lots of geese and chickens and even peacocks immediately outside). Everyone on the farm is very friendly and helpful. Was great to return and thank you for yet another lovely break.

Had a lovely break - just what we needed.

Very comfortable stay on a working farm - all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Best homemade ice cream helped ! Will be returning with our grand daughter for her birthday - she will love feeding the animals. Highly recommended.

A very nice comfortable place to stay with stunning views.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Sitting out on the patio with a peacock for company is brilliant.

We, once again, enjoyed our stay at the Piggery.

It is still clean, tidy and well equipped. The good wifi connection was a extra bonus this year, as we could keep in contact with the family as the phone reception is poor. We are booking another visit next year.

A lovely little cottage with probably the best views we've ever had on holiday in the UK.

You really feel part of the farm as you are so close to the hens and sheep. The people on the farm and in the cafe are very friendly and approachable. When the fridge needs replacing, we would suggest getting one with an ice box as we missed having the opportunity to store a little bit of frozen food and to freeze the ice block for our picnic bag. We think people should be made aware that there can be quite a bit of noise from children (and indeed the parents) when they are squealing and shouting when playing on the equipment built on the back of the piggery. Monday and Tuesday are fine as the cafe and playground are closed then. It is a lovely environment for children visiting the farm for the day, animal petting, nature trails etc so we don't like to appear grumpy but just felt that the description saying 'peaceful new home' could a bit misleading.

What an amazing place with such lovely hosts.

Made to feel extremely welcome right from the start. Accommodation was comfy, clean, and very modern with a super lovely shower. The views, WOW! I was so lucky to see lambs being born and found Spencer so interesting as he delivered his talk about tge lambing process. I certainly will be booking again as this is now my most favourite place in the UK.

My second stay in The Piggery was just as lovely as my first.

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, great views and of course delicious ice cream. Thank you to everyone for being so friendly and helpful. See you again soon.

Much better than advertised, more than just accommodation, eg Nature Walk, first-class cafe, mini farm….

Just returned from a restful and restorative stay at The Piggery.

It was warm & cosy, immaculately clean and thoughtfully equipped and furnished, with fabulous views from both the picnic area and inside. Everyone on the farm was so friendly, and the farm itself was a delightful place to explore. Thank you Katy for such a lovely break. I’ve already booked my next visit!

Lovely cottage in a fantastic position and the best views you could want.

Very friendly people with an excellent tea shop on site.

The property was great for my husband and I as we are elderly and need accommodation on ground level.

The views were outstanding, everyone was very friendly, it was great to be able to park at the door. The wet room was excellent, the king size bed was very comfortable and everywhere was very clean and well maintained.

Weather chilly and wet but The Piggery was warm and very comfortable - a lovely place to come home to after a day out.

There were chickens and their chicks, geese and peacock and peahen to entertain in the next door enclosure! Lovely tea/coffee/icecream room with delicious scones and cakes. The owners were friendly and always ready to help when necessary - we would certainly recommend The Piggery for an enjoyable stay.

This is an outstandingly beautiful venue.

The Piggery is delightful with everything you need and the views out of the window are priceless.The owners are absolutely lovely and welcoming and also a big shout out to the lovely young woman who works in the ice cream parlour who is outstanding in her service and warm and helpful personality. The homemade ice cream with so many different flavours to choose from is the best I have ever tasted.The farm itself is fantastic with an array of animals and there are gorgeous long walks which can be taken directly from the property. I loved my stay and there are many lovely places to visit. It really is an area of outstanding beauty and was very good for the soul. I would highly recommend this heavenly place. A big thank you to the team who made me so welcome and gave me the chance to enjoy the very best that the English countryside has to offer.

lovely place to stay.

lovely hosts.

Once again, a lovely holiday.

Accommodation well equipped and comfortable. Owners very helpful and friendly.

Myself and my girlfriend have been fans of Blaze Farm for a couple of years now.

Katy and the family who run the farm are really friendly, they will quite happily stand and chat despite being very busy. We have stayed in the Swallows Nest property in the past which was nice and secluded. However the views from the Piggerey are something else, you can quite literally lie in bed and look out at the hills and the scenery. There are plenty of animals on the farm that are really approachable and you can even feed them. They also make homemade icecream on the farm which is delicious, there is also a selection of cakes and sandwiches on offer all at reasonable prices. The farm is honestly one of mine and my girlfriends favourite places!

Brilliant last minute find.

Highly recommended. Everything spot on especially the views from the panoramic window.

A wonderful place to stay with stunning views .

The piggery was clean and cozy we loved it. Everyone on the farm was so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back . Helen and Stuart from Somerset.

Loved our stay at the Piggery.

The standard was very high, the Owner and staff were lovely and the views outstanding. The only negative for us was the lack of wi fi and phone signal. It was available outside and up steps which in the summer would be ok but not too good in February. Thanks.

I would like to share my appreciation for making my stay such an enjoyable/relaxing time.

It was lovely to open the curtains in the morning and see a marvellous view of open fields with cattle! The piggery is very well equipped! You have thought of every minor detail, to make our stay feel home from home! I cannot thank you enough for your kind/helpful attitude towards us!

A delightful place to stay.

...cosy warm and all you could ask for during your stay. Very friendly and clean. Lovely walks and easy access to places. Award winning homemade ice cream {delicious!|} on site as well as tasty tea, cake and scones. A delightful pub/meal few hundred yards away| Just go and enjoy the family and working farm and surrounding area for yourself.....you wont be disappointed!

A very comfortable, well appointed cottage.

Plenty of room and beautiful views. The owners are very helpful and friendly, and the ice cream is delicious! We have re-booked.

Lovely little spot, we had a great stay and we’re perfectly happy.

We loved the family run farm and of course the home made ice cream.

We had the most relaxing little holiday here.

The piggery is a delightful little place. Immaculately clean and well furnished. The views are stunning and it's very private even though its a farm, teashop and ice cream parlour. I'd love to go back.

This studio property was perfect for our stay.

Location was convenient for walking and the places we planned to visit. It has the most wonderful view of the valley and setting sun from the dining table. We ate in and ate out locally using recommendations from the owner, which were good. Kitchen has a dishwasher, so no washing up was required! The farm sold ice creams, coffee, cakes and eggs etc. Parking was offered alongside The Piggery. Written by Ruth

Lovely accommodation, amazing view.

It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The owners were helpful and the ice cream they make delicious. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The Piggery was situated on a family working farm, the views from the cottage were outstanding and the family were very friendly and helpful.

There were a few little issues with regards to the kitchen, i.e no cupboard space for groceries, no brush pan or brush, a fruit bowl would of been nice and hooks for towels in bathroom. However this did not stop us from enjoying our stay at the Piggery.

This cottage is excellent value super for walking.

Owners could not have done more to make our stay . Ice cream super
