Strelley Court Farm

Fantastic property for a large gathering.

Lovely big social spaces, excellent patio and games room. Fully equipped kitchen with 2 ovens 2 fridges and more than enough space to easily cater for 16. The pictures do not do it justice. Location was good with shops and pubs 5 minutes away in a car. We had a brilliant stay and would highly recommend

A very enjoyable stay in this spacious and well laid out accommodation.

The kitchen is very well equipped including two dish-washers! The garden area is extensive and enclosed - great for games, children and dogs. The games room was an added attraction to teenagers. Specific Suggestions: 1. Signage could be improved. 2. Main table surface sticky despite repeat cleaning - needs revarnishing. 3. Dart board location dangerously close to table tennis table. 4. Would be brilliant to have an EV charging point. Two of our group had electric cars and it would have been really helpful to charge overnight.

We were a family of 15 with 2 dogs.

The accommadation was spacious and the kitchen well stocked with equipment. The bedrooms varied in size and layout which suited everyone. Outside the grounds were large and secure so the dogs and children had a great time. The weather was great, so we took full advantage of sitting and eating outside. The adults enjoyed some competitive games of darts, pool and table tennis throughout our stay. We enjoyed the location and accommodation immensely, the only negatives would be that some furniture would benefit from changing and some windows wouldnt open, which with the heat it made some bedrooms uncomfortable.

Great place for family fun!

This house and the large garden and BBQ was just perfect for our group of 14 adults and 5 kids. Kitchen is super well equipped with two fridge freezers, dishwashers and ovens and all the pans and bits you need. Rooms were not brand new, but good level of cleanliness and the veranda off one of the rooms was a great treat. Overall we felt it was much better than the pictures and we had a wonderful time!

Our large family gathering had a fabulous time in a great private location far from neighbours.

A fully equipped kitchen, lots of outdoor space, separate games room. Lots of space indoors & well soundproofed.

Always a pleasure.

This was our fourth year and as always Nick was on hand should anything need attention, even on a Sunday

The farm house was fantastic the kitchen was well equipped had everything we needed, a really great place for my wife party big enough for all the guests would book again

Lovely spacious property which comfortably accommodated our family.

Well equipped kitchen, lovely garden and fun games room.

We had a great weekend at Strelley Court Farm .

The house was just as we expected , very comfortable and plenty of room for the kids to run around. The kitchen was very well equipped which made cooking easy and the outside playroom and gardens worked well for us . We had small children with us so being able to shut the gate and make the area secure was a bonus.

What an absolutely brilliant place.

We booked Strelly Court Farm for a family celebration of my mum's 91st birthday. The place was excellent. We were met and showed round by the politest and friendly man, who immediately made us feel at home. We were struck by how well the place is equipped for large numbers of people, The kitchen has been equipped with 2 dishwashers, 2 kettles, 2 toasters, 2 sinks and 2 fridges, all of which are needed for large groups. Really nice touch was beer and wine left for us, plus plenty of other things. The outside area is immaculate, large and well maintained. The games room has an impressive array of indoor games, darts, pool, ping pong and more. The house was extremely clean, well equipped and easy to use. Unlimited broadband, electricity and heating! It is isolated, but in a beautiful setting. it is easy to get out by car, there is not a lot within walking distance. It is a perfect base for exploring Derbyshire. If you want a top class house for up to 16 people this is the ideal place. It's brilliant!

Its a lovely spacious house with ample parking, a well equipped kitchen and plenty of space for a large group.

One of the best places we've stayed in over 40 odd years of Easter holidays.

Strelley court farm is such a lovely place.

It was clean, stunning views and a huge place for our family to have a get together. I would highly reccomend it to others! The pictures don’t do it justice! :)

All nine adults, two children and two dogs enjoyed our stay very much.

We made the most of the games room and danced to the disco. The kitchen and dining facilities were excellent. Thank you.

We had a very enjoyable pre Christmas large family gathering.

The property was perfect for our needs and extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen. The owner was on hand to offer help when needed. Some noisy plumbing caused a little inconvenience, but we didn’t contact Nick about it. The games room was a big hit with the family. We have no hesitancy in contemplating a return in the future.

The family really enjoyed our stay, lots of space and warm rooms including the games room which our children and grandchildren made good use of.

The kitchen/dining area was well appointed and having the use of 2 dishwashers and 2 fridges made catering en mass much easier. My only suggestion for improvement would be some TLC for the bathrooms including mending a hot tap which didn't function.

Lovely large house.

We visited as a extended family group and this place was plenty big enough. Extremely well stocked and equipped kitchen, by far the best any of us have seen in a holiday rental. The setting was very peaceful and beautiful and the kids loved going to see the cows and donkeys in the field behind the house. We would highly recommend and would quickly rebook if we were wanting to meet in the area again.

Our group of 12 had a lovely stay!

Nick was a great host and was very accommodating, the goodies in the fridge were warmly received by our group. The property was private, comfortable and clean, although one of our dogs managed to get an old chocolate bar from underneath the kitchen island near the oven. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

The house was extremely spacious and had everything we need for a great 50th brthday

What a fantastic place to host a family birthday party.

The building is very well set out, plenty of space for five cars, sixteen people celebrating and three exuberant labradors to run around in complete safety. There are also three small children's tables and six chairs so that even the very young are catered for. The owner is a gem and accommodated our questions and requests with ease. I wholeheartedly recommend the farm for family parties.

The most fantastic location for a multi generational get together.

The house is splendid. The kitchen is so well equipped. We cooked a roast dinner for 16 and everything was there that we needed. The BBQ is also great, with coals and tools supplied. The dining area and living space is comfortable and spacious. The games room was amazing and given it is outside the property, in a well heated and lighted room, it meant that the lounge was left quiet for those who wanted to relax The garden is fenced and secure, our three four legged travel companions had a wonderful time There are no criticisms and I am sure we will be back

Great place for a family gathering.

Facilities good, especially the games room. Enclosed large garden great for dogs.

What a find this property was!

We celebrated my husbands 80 th birthday here with our family of twelve. The youngest member of the family, aged 2 yrs, was well catered for with high chair, cot, stair gate and a selection of plastic cups, plates etc. Teenagers (and Dads) loved the games barn with table tennis, pool and darts . ( A paved path between this and the house rather than struggling across the hardcore would have made things easier but didn't detract from our enjoyment ) The lounge was big enough to accommodate us all comfortably and the younger ladies loved the disco lights and karaoke. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped with 2 Kettles, 2 toasters, 2 dishwashers, 2 fridges and an amazing range of crockery, glasses, ovenware etc. and a huge dining table. Outside we were able to enjoy the BBQ and sit together at the very generously sized patio table. I could go on and on with more positives but to sum up a fabulous property for large families/ groups. Definitely recommend and thank Nick for his hospitality.

Had a brilliant stay.

House was perfect, great games facilities and garden. Everything we needed. Noise was no issue. Highly recommend!

This is our third visit and Nick (the owner) has replaced the parasols for some much better quality ones which is a massive improvement.

I can imagine that with the wear that the pool table gets and the age of the players it's probably near impossible to maintain it to a high standard but if guests damage the cloth then they should be made to pay for it's replacement and it should be replaced very quickly. We have some very keen young players in our group and they were dissappointed that they were unable to play to their own standard because the cloth was torn

The cottage was absolutely amazing, great size and comfortable.

Hosted a family of 16 people and there was plenty of space in the house. The outside space was amazing, plenty of space to play rounders and other sports. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils. My family are already thinking of booking again.

Fantastic holiday home, plenty of space and a secure garden.

The water system pump is rather loud in a couple of the bedrooms when taps were turned on. Couldn't hear it in the balcony bedroom though. Kids loved the games room, and the dogs loved the huge garden! Everything you need in the kitchen, good variety of pots and pans.

We really enjoyed our time at Strelly Court farm.

The facilities were fantastic. The kitchen had everything you could have wished for. So we’ll equipped. Especially liked the fridge with the welcome drinks. Lovely touch. We were greeted by the owner who gave us a guided tour and explained how everything worked. We had a couple of small problems during the week which were sorted out so quickly. The chap who came to fix the toilet seat gave us loads of ideas for walking around the area.

The property was perfect for our multi generation family get together.

Spacious, downstairs area. Large grassy garden which is enclosed so safe for children and dogs Well equipped kitchen Owner easy to communicate with. We were also very fortunate with fabulous weather, so a perfect long weekend.

We booked Strelley Court Farm to celebrate a family birthday and it was absolutely ideal.

The facilities were excellent and the games room was incredibly useful as we had a wide age range and the teenagers were also able to spend time gaming in the downstairs bedroom. Nick was very helpful when we had a little problem and sorted it quickly.

We enjoyed a lovely family weekend at Strelley Court Farm.

The house was spacious for 14 adults and 2 dogs. The garden and games room in particular. Nick the host was in contact throughout the booking and was on hand when required, as the heating/hot water was not working in some of the rooms for 24 hours. Also one of the dishwashers required attention and couldn't be used.

The house was absolutely brilliant and catered to all of our needs.

Large group of us that stayed here including children and dogs. We would highly recommend and look forward to coming back again.

Strelly court was excellent for us as a family .

It had the right amount of space and bedrooms for us all to be together. The layout was very good. The kitchen had everything we needed to provide z Christmas meal for 10adults and 2 children. The games room was a bonus when the fellas wanted to escape. Strelly court was very clean and tidy when we arrived and the welcome pack of wine and lager.

We had a wonderful weekend despite the terrible weather and the farmhouse was well set up for group gatherings.

Nick, the owner very kindly left us some beer and wine in the fridge. Beds very comfortable plenty of bathrooms too. The only suggestion I would make is that some of the pans and utensils are rather tired and worn and therefore need replacing. Already recommended to some friends for next year. Thank you

A great space, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a secure garden for the dog!

The showers were good, although a few of our group had difficulty regulating the temperature. And although they look great, the stairs were a bit challenging for a few of our group. The games room was a bonus and overall we had a great stay!

Setting is Great and Nick was Very Welcoming.

It's a great space for a large family gathering as ours was. Facilities were spot on, Tv's & Sound systems very easy to use. Beds are comfortable and all rooms are a good size. the only slight negative I would give is that some areas are looking a little dated and the cleanes could pay a little bit more attention to detail as some areas were not as I would have expected. I didn't feel it was necessary to contact the owner over it but would say its the only reason I haven't given 5* all the way across. It wouldn't stop me recommending the place to others at all.

Greeted by owner on arrival and shown around.

They had left some beer left in fridge for us which was very kind. Property is kept lovely & ideal for large gatherings, the house has everything you need. A bonus is having the games room. We all had a fantastic time. Fab place.

Strelley Court Farm is absolutely amazing, this was the ideal size for a family get together everything about it was to a very high standard, large bedrooms the majority en-suite, massive kitchen and dining area and plenty of space to chill out, the games room was fantastic for the older children and the younger ones had a large enclosed garden to run around with the dogs and it is set in a beautiful area.

Big thanks go to Nick the owner who met us on arrival and showed as around and explained how everything in the house worked. A brilliant time was had by all.

We had an amazing holiday at Strelly Court Farm.

The owner welcomed us personally and provided a generous amount of wine & beer! The house is very well equipped for a large family and the views are amazing. If I were to be finicky... The house could have been cleaned to a higher standard. We feel that the check in is a bit late in the day & check out is too early. The stairs are quite slippery for babies and young ones. A runner down the middle would be beneficial. We would definitely stay there again

Nick was a stellar host.

Great place, great location. Everyone thouroughly enjoyed their stay. Highly reccomended.

This is an amazing property for a large group of family and/friends.

The games room is brilliant and there is so much space in there, as there is in all the communal areas. Large patio with plenty of seating. large dining space. big kitchen and the lounge is bigger than it looks too. The rooms are all great and well maintained with lovely views. I think we'll be back.

This is the second time that we have stayed here as a fifteen strong family group.

I suppose the fact that we have returned says an awful lot about the property and we intend to return next year.Geographically it suits our needs perfectly as does the layout and physical size of the property. That said there are a few areas that i'm sure Nick will address before our next visit. The Bar B Q completely disintegrated while we were having our Saturday night meal and the two parasols need replacing with something far more substantial in fact one of the parasols was broken so we had to manage with one parasol between 8 adults and 7 children. At least three heavy duty parasols are required to provide adequate protection from the sun while people are eating, especially children. One of the heaters in the canopy area was not working which was a shame because the adults like to sit in that area in the evening to wind down after the children have gone to bed. A few small niggles but when you are paying £3,000 for a weekend away they need addressing. Don't get me wrong overall it's a fabulous facility and if it suits your needs i'm sure that you will have a great time here

The house and surrounding views were incredible and one evening we were lucky to experience an amazing sunset.

With a party of 11 adults,2 teenagers and 3 children there was ample room for us all and we never felt on top of one another. Kitchen was more than adequately equipped along with a large dining table. All bedrooms were a very good size with comfy beds. The children loved the sound system and disco lights downstairs. Good use of the games room was made by all. We were lucky enough to have good weather so able to use large garden and furnished patio, giving us more room. Would highly recommend the property for large groups as the space was amazing and with the enclosed garden children could play outside and wander as they pleased from house to games room. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed their stay at the farmhouse.

Stayed here as a group of 12 for a hen party, plenty of space for everyone.

Beds and sofa are really comfy, big spacious dining table and a well equipped kitchen. Big garden and the games rooms is a nice add on. Communication with the owner was easy and quick replies, they arranged a hot tub for us and it was set up and ready for our arrival.

We were a family group of 7 adults and 5 children and have stayed at several large properties over the years.

This was definitely one of the best houses we have stayed at as plenty of space, lots of different options for sleeping arrangements and a beautiful property in a great location. We didn't get to use the outdoor space much due to the weather but there is also great outdoor seating and a BBQ for the better weather. There is a also a great downstairs sound system and disco lights in the living room so the kids enjoyed having their own parties. The games room was another bonus and an enormous room giving lots of extra space. Such an amazing place and we definitely plan to return at some point. Thank you for a great stay :)

Had a great stay - thanks :)

Owner was great, met me on time and showed me round the property, talked me through the sound system which is connected to the wifi so no loss of sound when moving between rooms.

Beer and wine in the fridge which was a nice touch and the place was nice and warm on arrival, the owner fitted a stair gate for us as we had small children with us. The house is surrounded by fields and was very quiet which was perfect. The main problem with the property was the cleanliness of the property, the ovens where dirty, so once switched on it created a fair amount of smoke which set off the smoke alarms waking the small children in the party. Freezer and fridge had left over bits of food in them . Under the sofas (which to be fair are pretty low to the ground so wont get a weekly clean) but found 3 full chicken nuggets under them. (one of the babys toys and gone under it) windows in sitting room where dirty and hadnt been washed in a while. A few little maintenance issues, the door handle on the back door came off due to the screw holes being too big for the screws. water came through the ceiling at one point due to the upstairs shower being on. Shower in main bathroom was missing an o ring which meant the water shot back down the tube and very little came out of the shower head. the temp lock on the shower was broken, so the water could very easily be turned to scalding, If you looking for a place to just use as a base and explore the area, its great, huge rooms, great sized kitchen and sitting room, with plenty of bathrooms with the added benefit of a massive games room, however we spent a fair part of our stay in the property and the few little areas that needed improvement started to bother us.

Very nice property exactly as described.

Ideal place for large groups very well equipped with all amenities including a fantastic games room only downside is the isolation or this could be a plus side for some it's very hard to get taxis around the area so if your going out at night to sample Ripley book early but the farm itself can't be faulted

The bedroom layout was fantastic for us.

Anyone should be able to make everyone happy as the options are brilliant. Games room a real bonus which we all enjoyed, especially the adults. We did have issues with showers though so some had to shower in other rooms as pressure was really poor. Some pans in the kitchen really need replacing, we tried hard to clean them but past there best. Not a lot to see locally so drove to Matlock which was really nice. Would we stay again? Not sure

We have stayed in many holiday let’s and this is definitely ranked at the top .

Nick was very welcoming, he also put some drink in the fridge for when we arrived . Bedrooms all a good size , and very nice. Whole house was a great size for 16 people & 3 dogs . Kitchen is very well equipped and a great size, only 1 item missing was a hand whisk . Games room was a big hit also the size of the garden for 3 dogs . Great views all around. Overall a great house, will definitely be returning.

We last stayed at this property almost 5 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

On arrival we were met by the owner and received a warm welcome. It was much as we remember from our previous visit and that is some of the problem. Keeping a large property maintained must be a headache, however a lot of basic maintenance is waiting to be done. Windows either side of the front door have cracks, some of the showers are poor and both the back door and games room doors are in desperate need of repair. One of our party suffered from an allergy to dust so we gave many of the surfaces an extra hoover. On moving the lounge settees we were of the opinion it was many months, if not longer since they had been moved. However as with our previous visit we had a great time, the house is ideal for large parties and hopefully when our next major anniversary/ birthday comes round in 5 years we will be able to use it again.

Really enjoyed the stay, lots of space and great facilities

The house aspect and facilities were great.

Although the house needs a bit of tlc it was very welcoming and Nick (the owner) showed us around and left us some beers and wine that were consumed with pleasure - thank you Nick. Our family gathering felt very comfortable in every room of the house and although we only stayed for a few nights we all agreed we would return to the same house especially if the water pressure in the showers was sorted

8 adults 5 kids lots of room for everyone.

The house flows wonderfully ,kitchen great huge 2 dishwashers 2 ovens unbelievable well equipped. Most the bedrooms at on suites and very large. The sports hall was lovely. The garden and parking are great. To try to be objective I guess the sports hall equipment could do with an upgrade, one shower wasn’t very good, but we have been to a few of these types of properties and this was one of the best. I asked a few questions that were answered straight away. I fully recommend this house to anyone

Had an amazing stay, only complaint was back family bedroom needed updating and shower pressure wasn't good.

Everything else was great and would definitely stay again, private, peaceful and amazing views. Owner extremely helpful and friendly.

The property was perfect for our family group of 11 adults and 5 children who were all very impressed by the space, facilities and equipment.

Although the weather was wet and windy, it did not cause any problems and the large games room really came into its own. An added bonus was nearly all the large bedrooms were en-suite. The owner was very helpful and answered our questions fully and promptly. The house was in a lovely rural setting, good value and I would highly recommend it

The house is extremely well equipped for the high number of people that can stay there.

All of the bathrooms could do with a deep clean though. The door in the living room leading out onto the patio has a big crack at the bottom and was hard to open. We didn’t want to break it so didn’t use it. One of the showers wouldn’t turn cooler (from scalding hot) so couldn’t be used. Overall, a very pleasant stay and would recommend people stay here.

Lovely property and greet communication from the owner.

Really well appointed had everything we needed and was perfect for a weekend with friends. Beautiful setting and loved that there was a big garden area so we could enjoy the sunshine and great that nearly all the bathrooms were en suite. Would say that the bathrooms could be a little bit cleaner but that was the only issue!

A remarkable one of rental property.

Owners very helpful and generous. The games room is absolutely fantastic. We were a group of 8 and the property could have held many more. All round first class and highly recommended.

Lovely house.

Lovely surroundings. House was warm and comfortable.

Great place for a large group.

Well stocked with everything we needed. Lovely enclosed garden, good to have a games room.

We have stayed at Strelley Court Farm twice now and it is perfect for my family.

It has all the facilities we need and the perfect location for walking. As it is a pet friendly property it is difficult for cleaning but there were areas that may have been missed and may require a deeper clean before change over. I would recommend Strelley Court Farm to anyone wanting a family holiday.

We had the most amazing stay at Strelley Court Farm.

The house was fabulous, so spacious and clean. The kitchen was the so well equipped, with everything you would ever need. The kids had the best time in the brilliant games room. The property owner was beyond helpful and friendly. Thank you

The hosts were great, very helpful with check in and left some treats in the fridge which was greatly appreciated.

The first impressions of the house were disappointing, a little TLC to the exterior would make a great difference. However once inside they'd put a lot of thought into the place. Children were accommodated with stair gates, cots, high chairs etc, the kitchen was well stocked with appliances and kitchen essentials, the toaster takes a long time to toast though. The beds were smaller than advertised and we had to use a sofa bed downstairs to make everyone comfortable. Good location for a quiet break but no local pubs as had been advertised which was a shame.

Just got back from a fantastic family New Year.

The house was perfect. The games room was a very welcome addition and it is massive. Lots of seating and heated. The complimentary wine and beer was a lovely thought. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was also lovely and warm. The disco lights and sonas system was perfect. New Year's Eve was celebrated in the living room with it's perfect dance floor. Already talking about going back in the summertime. The kitchen was well equiped with more than enough utensils for 14 people. Two toasters, kettles, dishwashers and large fridges. Nick was great really welcoming and helpful. We found a lovely pub that served home cooked food at very reasonable prices in Ripley. Recommend The Peartree especially their pies. Can't find any faults in Strelly Court Farm and we had an ideal stay. Our party all gave it a ten out of ten and all voted it the best house we have stayed in. Thank you

Our party of 14 including a baby, a toddler and a couple of children spent Christmas week at Strelley Court Farm.

It was absolutely perfect for our purposes, spacious, comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and well heated. It is good that almost all of the bedrooms have excellent ensuite facilities Nigel, the owner, could not have been more welcoming and helpful, ensuring the bedrooms were set up to accommodate our party and providing a nice Christmas tree. The complimentary wine and beer were well received too. This is an ideal property for a large party at any time of the year

This is an excellent property and was perfect for our stay.

It's furnished to a high standard and superbly kitted out. It's very spacious and the games room is a lovely addition - we had lots of fun in there. It's in a beautiful secluded spot, but easy to get to with amenities not far away. We will definitely rebook and I would recommend this property for anyone who wants a spacious house with a touch of luxury.

What a fabulous house, fantastic facilities, secure garden so the dogs were free to roam whenever and wherever they wanted, 6 cars on the premises with room for another 20 !

! In the middle of nowhere so we could make LOTS and I do mean LOTS and LOTS of noise without disturbing anyone, the games room was absolutely brilliant. Rooms were huge and extremely clean. My only criticism and it is very very minor, even on the verge of nit picking, was we would if found it more convenient to have a toilet and a fridge in the games room, as I say this is no hardship as it means going to the massive fridge and using one of the many toilet facilities in the property over the course of the evening !! I would hugely recommend this property it was terrific for my 50th birthday bash.

Brilliant property with lovely views, which catered for all our needs as a family of 16.

Good communication with owner. Who met us on arrival. The beer and wine was much appreciated thankyou. A lovely weekend was had by us all and would definitely return.

Great place.

Good location for visits to Alton towers and Tamworth snow dome. Great house, great facilities, good information for local activities in the folder. Only one negative feedback was that the wifi was a bit slow.

What an amazing place!

All my family loved it and the outdoor garden was amazing for the dogs. I have no criticism for this beautiful place. We will certainly be returning

This is possibly the best house for a big group that we have stayed in.

Every thing worked, the owner was very easy to contact it was ideal for children to run about in making a lot of noise!! Shopping was very easy with a large supermarket 10 minutes drive away. The games room was wonderful and thoroughly used. All in all we would definitely recommend Strelley Court Farm.

Beautiful property and really helpful introduction on arrival.

We had a great time, plenty of space throughout and very private.

Great property for a large group with lots of space and very well equipped.

Our three generations from age 6 to 70+ thoroughly enjoyed the games room. Communication was excellent; the owner met us on site and was very helpful. Highly recommended.

The is a fantastic property and full of facilities, the host is helpful and responsive from beginning to end, so not really much to complain about!

The only thing is the the listing states there are 7 bathrooms but its actually 6 in the house (Main Bathroom + 4 En-suites and downstairs bathroom), not an issue as its still plenty! A couple of karaoke mics would also have been a fantastic addition to the sound system, but nevertheless we had a great time and would definitely recommend staying Strelley Court Farm to anyone!

We all had a great time at Strelley Court Farm.

The games room was a bonus and is ideal for the younger generation. We thank you for quick service with the water problem. Couldn't fault the house so much room for everyone. Many thanks.

Great house for a large extended family holiday.

Large garden and games room provides entertainment for children and adults alike. The owner was very accommodating to our needs.

All good.

Downstairs shower could do with more pressure but otherwise can't complain. Music capability in the games room would be a good touch,

It was a perfect cottage.

Celebrated my husbands 60th birthday there every guest complimented the cottage and where it was situated. The owner was very helpful too.

fantastic, above our expectations

Absolutely fantastic property.

Comfortable beds and plenty of room in all bedrooms. Owner was lovely. Best bit was the dance floor in the living room. Fantastic few nights away. Will visit again

Strelley Court Farm is a perfect venue for a family reunion.

It is very spacious, warm and comfortable with large bedrooms mostly with en suites (apart from 2 which share a large bathroom) and a really well equipped kitchen with a double oven, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, 2 large fridges and a freezer as well as an abundance of crockery, glassware and utensils. The lounge and dining areas are large and easily accommodated our family group. The separate large games room with pool table, table tennis and darts is a real asset particularly for a winter stay with 3 generations. We really enjoyed our Christmas break and felt that the owner had done so much to ensure we did. The complimentary Christmas tree, wine and beer was a lovely surprise.

After the disappointment of the cancellation of our skiing holiday, we were delighted to find a property big enough for our family of 16 to celebrate our son's 40th birthday and Christmas.

It was the first time we had all been together over Christmas for 6 years and Strelley Court Farm was the perfect venue for the occasion. Plenty of room and the best equipped rental property I have ever stayed in - even a Magimix! In addition the games room meant that whatever the weather the younger members of the party were well entertained. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Had a wonderful weekend at Strelley Farm, all fabulous nothing negative to report all good.

Facilities, location all brilliant, would definitely recommend.

13 of us, of all ages, plus two dogs, had a fantastic weekend at Strelley Court Farm.

The accommodation is spacious with everyone getting their own bathroom. The kitchen had everything you could possibly want in abundance. Lots of outside space and a fantastic games room. We had a couple of problems which were sorted out quickly. Very helpful owner. The house/area suited our needs perfectly. The outside needs a facelift, hence only 4 stars, but the inside is furnished well. Thanks

Strelley Court Farm is a great holiday home.

It’s extremely spacious, has a very well stocked kitchen for all cooking needs - 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, 2 fridges, (freezer space a little limited), masses of utensils & crockery. Laundry room was well stocked & lots of cleaning products. Upstairs there’s lots of comfortable beds & many bathrooms. The games room is huge & we all enjoyed playing pool, table tennis & darts. A completely enclosed garden for the dog. Heating was great - plenty of hot water. Thoroughly recommended.

The house at Strelley Court Farm met our requirements well, plenty of space, well equipped, ideal for a large family group with 4 children and 2 dogs, very pleased with the welcome gift of beer and wine for the weekend and owner very helpful, overall very happy and would return.

Some of the external doors and windows require repair or replacement, but otherwise perfect for our needs and a great location.

The house was extremely dirty which was a real shame and in parts in a state of disrepair

Everything And we were lucky with weather

The pictures didn't do the farm house justice.

There was so much space - you could have had a party in the hallway!! In addition there was a games room with a pool table , darts and table tennis that hadn't been mentioned. There was also a good stock of cleaning products - including powder for the machine. Lovely outside sitting area. We had a brilliant time.

It suited our family very well, with small children the large garden was brilliant and the games room for the adults.

Very peaceful location. Great sized accommodation.

Everything was brilliant about this holiday booking and cottage

It was fantastic place for holiday

The games room consisted of a pool table, a table tennis table and a dart board which was a great asset on a wet day.

the lawn was huge which enabled us to have a badminton court, fly a kite and play cricket and football.

The space at Strelley Court was fantastic, both inside and out.

The pictures don't do this place justice.

Just returned from spending a week at Strelley Court after celebrating a family members birthday.

This place was amazing as it catered for all our family perfectly, a perfect place for a family get together. All the rooms where so spacious and the games room was brilliant for the grandkids and the adults alike. Location is perfect as so many amazing places to visit and as we are keen walkers the Peak District is stunning with some fantastic walks just a short drive away. Would definitely return with hesitation.

My family and I have just returned from a week at Strelley Court Farm celebrating my 50th Birthday.

There were 10 adults, 6 children, 2 infants and 3 dogs. The bedrooms were huge and each had a hairdryer, each bedroom was modern, en-suite (apart from 2 which shared a bathroom) and most had a TV apart from the 2 without en-suites. There is also a communal shower room downstairs. There is so much space we could all be together but did not feel like we were on top of each other. The games room (not attached to the house) kept us entertained for hours and the garden was big enough to tire the dogs out for those who didn't like walking in wet weather. It will be ideal in summer as it has an undercover heated seating area, bbq and a table that seats everyone together. There are board games for all ages and a PS3. The facilities are amazing with a big double oven and hob, 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and a separate utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The TV in the main living area has Netflix for guests. The house is along a short track and there are walks in the area but we drove to Matlock Bath, Markeaton Park and Carsington Reservoir. I would highly recommend Strelley Court Farm as would all my family.

Fantastic facilities, lovely location and very welcoming owner.

We were a group of 14 (with dogs) with ages ranging from 12 to 86 and all enjoyed the stay. So much so that we are thinking of booking again. Highly recommend.

Would recommend strelley farm to any big groups looking for a get away.

The house is lovely, warm, comfortable and has everything you need. The games room is a fab addition to help on rainy days. The only negative is that there is no pub in walking distance, actually there is nothing in walking distance really so you either stay in or have to drive out.

This was simply the best holiday self catering holiday farm house we have ever stayed in.

Everything you could possibly need was catered for - including beer and wine in one of the fridges! The heated games room was fabulous and the family spent a lot of time playing snooker and table tennis there. The bedrooms were large and all very comfortable and the house was lovely and warm. It’s a great place for all the family to meet up. We have already booked to go back there next year!

Large beautiful house, very well equipped with all mods & cons.

Ideal for families or groups of friends. 5 mins to Ripley & 10 mins to Matlock. The games room with pool table, table tennis & darts was brilliant.

Strelley Court is a great place for large family gatherings.

The owner has thought about everything you might want in such a property. Warm, comfortable with all mod cons. A great games room with pook, table tennis and darts. Had a fabulous time.

The house is very well equipped spacious and comfortable.

Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

The property is amazing.

Perfect for large families and friends. Absolutely everything has been thought of to make the holiday great. Extremely well equipped kitchen, cupboard full of games, plenty of seating outside, huge garden for children to play in safely, games room with pool table, table tennis and darts, comfy beds, hot water always, it has everything! Only 1 downside, the cleanliness of the house was not brilliant. Apparently they are looking into this, don’t expect to have to empty bins and dish washer and vacuum when we get there! That was the only thing that let this property down.

We've just returned from spending a great week at Strelley Court Farm.

3 generations, ages ranging from 2 years to 68 years & the dog. Everyone was cater for, the outside area is large & safe for the kids & dog to play around in - lots of games of rounders were had. We all had plenty of room in house, there is also a great games room for table tennis, darts, pool - (a music system in there would be even better). The Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need & plenty of everything. The beer & wine was a lovely & appreciated touch. It has an amazing sound system and the disco lights were a huge hit. We were very lucky with the weather & were able to make the most of the outdoor eating area & snug with the added bonus of outdoor heating once the sun had gone down. This is a great location for exploring the surrounding area with plenty for everyone to do. Mark, Nick & Geoff the caretaker were so helpful. From before we arrived, to while we were there, nothing was too much trouble. This is a beautiful house & gave us quality family time together. Thank You!

The house had all we required for a family holiday .

Great safe area for kids to play around in. Plenty of room in house for all to do as they wished also great games room for night time table tennis, darts, pool. Kitchen was wall stocked with everything you needed lots of everything. This was a great location for exploring the surrounding attractions plenty for kids in a short drive away.

I had a fabulous time with friends and family celebrating my 70th birthday.

A brilliant place to stay when exploring the peak district. A great place for a bbq and enjoying the outdoor space when the weather permits.

Couldn’t fault the place and the hospitality of the owners was fantastic.

Went for a girly weekend but would be ideal for families garden area is vast.

We were a relatively small group for the house but I could see that it would still feel spacious and comfortable with 16 people in it.

The layout was excellent with that friendly kitchen and dining room arrangement (where we spent most of our time), a lovely spacious lounge leading onto a well placed patio area and a smaller snug in which our early riser watched breakfast television without disturbing anyone else. It was difficult to choose a bedroom as they were all so nice. Finding USB points throughout the rooms was a real bonus as was the sound system. Everything that we needed was supplied, even my usual supply of additional toilet paper returned home with me because it was already there. A number of our party and the dogs took advantage of the various walks available in this pastoral setting and we all enjoyed watching the farmer check on his sheep and cows in the surrounding fields.The games room was better than expected as there was comfy seating for the onlookers as tournaments were held.The garden was completely enclosed which was great for the dogs and would be great for children as well.There are lots of things to do and see in the area and, even though my group were mostly senior citizens, we all enjoyed destinations which included a cable car ride, tram rides and a boat trip on a canal as well as the usual stately homes. The family holiday usually includes children and grandchildren and my search includes a hot tub or a swimming pool for them. I am glad they were not with us this time as we would have missed out on this truly memorable venue which I would highly recommend.

Our first big extended family holiday - so my mum got to spend time with all her grandchildren as well as us and our partners.

First family holiday with all my brother and sisters for 20 years. I couldn't have asked for more. The house is amazing, clean and well stocked with plenty of plates etc to keep us happy and two dishwashers. Great location and outdoor space that is locked in for the kids. We made good use of the BBQ and SONOS sound system. Plenty of rooms so did not feel on top of each other. Loved all the group board games available and the games barn is really special. Everyone was talking about making it an annual thing. We would definitely return.

Strelley court farm was an amazing home for the weekend.

The pictures don't do it just, so much bigger than it looks. The garden was great and the games room was fantastic for the kids (aged 8-13) and the adults. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need and more. Nick the owner and Geoff the caretaker were so helpful. It had an amazing sound system and disco lights, that were a massive hit. Perfect space for large groups without feeling on top of each other. We are already planning to book again. Thank you Nick for the wine and the peroni, a welcome surprise after our drive.

We have just returned from a fabulous weekend at Strelley Court Farm.

We were a party 13, 10 adults and 3 teenagers and a great time was had by all. The house is in a lovely location, has a large garden and is extremely spacious and fully equipped with everything you can think of and more! The kitchen and dining facilities were superb not to mention the separate games room, which was a complete winner for all of us! I would thoroughly recommend this place and I am sure that we will be back.

We all had a great family get together.

The youngest was 6 months and the oldest was 88 years! And everyone had a fabulous time. There's plenty of space inside and out and the kitchen is so well equipped, we've never been anywhere like it before. And the games room was an added bonus, we loved it all. If you're thinking of booking this house, don't hestitate. It's such good value for this standard of accommodation and there are some great days out just a short car ride away.

A holiday cottage which was even better than as described in the brouchure.

With three generations from 4 different families there was ample space for everyone to pursue their own activities and great communal spaces for every one to gather together. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and everything worked . . The youngsters were very impressed by the Hi Fi ,TV and dico systems. As a celebration venue it cannot be faulted.The surrounding countryside provided a great variety of sightseeing and outdoor activity choices

The house is perfect for a large group.

Everyone can sit together to eat and the kitchen was incredibly well equipped with a lovely comfortable lounge. Nick met us when we arrived to show us round the house and gave us all the information we needed. We would certainly come back here again.

The property location is ideal for visiting local points of interest within a 30 minute drive.

The house is amazing! General and living areas are ample space wise and the kitchen dining area is more than adequately equipped with everything you can imagine. Lovely touch having dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and washing liquid etc. provided. Amazing sound system and TV in sitting room. Wi-Fi reception was a bit iffy upstairs but fine on lower floor. All bedrooms clean and well presented. Comfy beds and lovely en suite bathrooms. Fabulous views from every aspect. We were a bit puzzled on the presentation of the bedrooms on the website, but a discussion with owner Nick before we arrived ensured that all bedrooms were made up as required to cater for the party. All my friends and family expressed how comfortable the rooms were. Garden and outside space fabulous and we even got the weather to use it in March!! Games room is a great space. All in all we spent an extremely enjoyable, relaxing week. None of us wanted to leave and I'm looking forward in going back in the summer when one of my friends has it booked for a further week. A great place and would highly recommend it to anyone!!

Fantastic place - big enough to fit us all in without feeling like we were on top of one another.

Plenty of equipment/cutlery/seating/glasses/plates etc for us all and the additional hot tub was lovely! The bathrooms were well looked after and very clean. As a group we all said how nice the house was and we would all be more than happy to stay again!

This holiday was to celebrate my 60th birthday with family and friends.

We were very impressed by the room proportions and the fact that the downstairs bathroom is accessible - two of our party use walking frames. That said, there appears to be a problem with the shower in that bathroom, which struggled to reach the right temperature, which probably needs to be addressed by the owner. It may also have been helpful to have more photographs of the bedroom configurations ahead of going to help to pre-allocate rooms. However, overall the facilities were excellent with something to suit everybody - we even had a 79 year old playing table tennis! There was an ample supply of crockery, glasses and cutlery - something we have sometimes found to be lacking in rentals. It was also very welcoming to find that the owner had stocked the fridge with beer and wine - a very nice touch! I would have no hesitation in recommending this to others or returning there myself for a similar occasion.

The farm house exceeded our expectations .

The very comfortable and flexible accomodation was ideal for our extended three generation family of couples and young children. The owners were very willing to arrange the optional extra beds to meet our preferred arrangements before our arrival which helped a lot. The range and quantity of equipment was excellent . The tv entertainment and new games room were a great hit with the younger ones. The location so close to a principal road route and nearby train station proved to be ideal for family's arriving from different directions . We will be back.

Three generations ranging from three to seventy have just returned from Strelley Court Farm near Ripley.

Everything lived up to or bettered our expectations. Quite simply for a large group it is exceptional. The facilities which include a superb large heated games room are of a very high standard and made for a very relaxed enjoyable time.

Fantastic few days away celebrating my Nans 80th Birthday and one we will always remember!

Strelley Court Farm exceeded all of our expectations, driving up to the house we were all amazed at the size of the property, and when you walk in - just WOW!! There were 16 adults, an infant and 2 dogs and there was plenty of space, all the bedrooms were comfy and clean and had plenty of space. The living room was perfect for a big group of us and the sofa was so comfy, the room even had disco lights and a sound system - perfect opportunity to party! The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped, and the dining area was perfect for a big group. An added bonus was the games room - alot of us spent our time competing against each other - not that we are competitive or anything! The owner was brilliant; from the build up of our time away to the actual day, in which he gave us a tour and went in to great detail when we arrived :) - really lovely man. Would definitely reccommend Stelley Court Farm and we hope to return soon!

The owner went out of his way to accommodate our needs eg allowing us in early to receive grocery delivery providing extra high chairs.

The kitchen was extremely well equipped with sharp knives, something of a rarity in rental properties, and an abundance of matching tableware. Children’s plates and cutlery were also very welcome. The only very minor issue was that the ovens were not particularly clean but we did recognise the difficulty of achieving this with short swap over times.

A huge, very clean modern house with plenty of space for 9 adults and 6 children- the games room was an unexpected bonus.

The adults appreciated the beer and wine in the fridge. Most of the bedrooms were enormous with 4 ensuite shower rooms. Lovely bedding with plenty of towels. There was a large bathroom (with large bath and separate shower) used by other 2 bedrooms. The only extra thing we would have found helpful would have been a floor plan of the house to use when deciding which were the most suitable rooms in which to have extra beds made up. Some of the extra single beds were the truckle type at floor level and probably best suited for children. We didn't find the sofa bed downstairs very comfortable to sleep on, but the children loved playing games on the enormous TV in that room. Great sound system provided downstairs. The kitchen had plenty of equipment with thoughtful provision of 2 dishwashers, 2 kettles, 2 toasters and 2 ovens which we found really useful. We hope to be back again soon.

13 adults, 2 children and an infant all had a great time and were well pleased with the accommodation.

Plenty of cookware, crockery glasses,etc in the well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms comfortable and always plenty of (very) hot water. Outside space great and the games room was very popular - we had a tournament going over the weekend.

Really great stay for my best friends hen do.

Ample room, fantastic facilities and helpful owners really could not fault it whatsoever - aside from the fact it deserves a hottub

A great place for families.

Warm welcome. Great facilities. No issues. We had a lovely time.

We had a wonderful and an amazing time!

The website did not do justice to what we saw when we got there. The accommodation was spot on but as we were 5 couples and there were only 4 en-suite rooms that was a bit difficult at first as the bedroom that was not en-suite had no wardrobe, but the fun we were having made it fade away. On the whole we had a great and fulfilling time and were comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen and dinning section was well appreciated. I would suggest an additional microwave. In addition the sound systems made it even more joyous. The Barbeque set should be cleaned and ready for use, as we had to clean that. We would return again but it would be nice if the bedroom that was not en-suite and did not have a wardrobe be looked into. Thanks to Nick and Lynn for being pleasant at all times and responding promptly.

This was an expensive rental, but it fulfilled all expectations and significantly exceeded them in several areas.

Every possible contingency was anticipated. Contact and comms excellent. Spotlessly clean throughout. And the beer and wine in the 'fridge was a real bonus!

Just returned from Strelley Court Farm where 14 of us stayed for the week.

( 3 generations). We cannot fault the accommodation. Everything you want is provided. The house is spacious with enough room for everyone. The garden is lovely for children and there is even a separate games room which we were not expecting. We were met by the owner who explained everything and the beer and wine in the fridge was a nice touch. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Strelley Court Farm met all our expectations and more, great location, secure for both children & dogs, great music systems, very well equipped two dish washers & separated laundry room, not far from Ripley, Matlock 8 miles away, Dendy pottery near by.

The house was brilliant and very well equipped and clean/tidy.

The BBQ and outdoor seating area was great. There was also a games room seperate to the house which included a table tennis table and pool table (which I didn’t see listed in the description). Only thing that could have made it better is an hot tub outside. Otherwise, perfect.

I would highly recommend this house.

We had an extremely enjoyable stay. The Owner was friendly and helpful and explained everything to us. I can't fault our stay at Strelley Court Farm. It was a pleasure to stay in this house. It had a lovely large garden and Games Room which again added to our wonderful stay.

This was a superb place to stay.

The whole place was designed well for large groups and beautifully fitted out. The two cookers and dishwashers made cooking a joy. The kitchen diner had all the equipment you could possibly need and then there was the gas bbq too. We loved the smart tv, disco lights and great sound system in the lounge. The little table and chairs were useful to keep the young children amused, as the great grandparents snoozed in the shade and others played pool in the games room. Everyone enjoyed the safe outdoor space for sitting and playing football. Lots to do in the nearby area , but it was also a great place to chill out. Excellent.

Strelly Court Farm is a lovely property.

So very spacious. It was perfect for our family get together (3 generations) The property was spotlessly clean throughout. The kitchen had 2 ovens and 2 dishwashers which worked a treat, and indeed everything one needed when catering for a large number of folk. The sitting room was really good and accommodated all the family. The bedrooms were large and adequate, most having en suite and the big bathroom nearby. The addition of the games room outside was wonderful and our youngsters made a beeline to enjoy table tennis and pool in there. I cannot praise the property enough. From our arrival the owner made us feel so welcome and was willing to help and fix minor items during our stay. We would definitely hope to return for another holiday in the future.

We booked Strelley Court Farm for a weekend hen party and it was fantastic.

Upon arrival, the owner was very friendly and showed us around the property, he had even left us lots of beer in the fridge! The house was perfect for a large group. All of the rooms are spacious and the whole house was very clean. The location was great and it felt like a rural property but was within driving distance of towns and cities. The house is so well equipped for large groups and we particularly loved the large games room, lovely garden and huge kitchen/diner. We would definitely recommend this property. I wish we had stayed longer!

We had a fantastic time.

The house is beautiful, even better than the pictures! Lots to do in the local area, too, including walks starting from the house. Perfect for a get-together.

Our family group aged from 3mths to mid-sixties all had a very enjoyable weekend in Derbyshire and really appreciated the extremely spacious and well equipped accommodation at Strelley Court Farm.

  We especially appreciated having comfy beds, so many ensuite bathrooms, two dishwashers, two ovens, lots of crockery and cutlery, etc.  Everything is provided to enable large groups to relax and have a wonderful get-together.

Its a wonderful weekend for 18 of us.

spacious rooms and lovely kitchen. I love the Sounds system surrounding the kitchen and living room. so we can have nice music. Nick and his staffs are great host. Thank you and we will come again if time is good next year.

There was 16 ladies celebrating my daughter's hen party, the facilities were far better than we could have hoped for.

Plenty of bathroom facilities, hairdryer, bedrooms very comfortable and plenty of towels for each person. The showers were hot with good pressure and the bathtub big and deep for a long relaxing soak. The kitchen facilities catered for everything we could have needed with ample flatware and cooking equipment. There was plenty if space for everyone to sit in comfort and we just couldn't have hoped for a better place to celebrate the hen party. Thank you for the welcome gifts of wine, beer and flowers. Looking forward to another excuse to book this gorgeous house again in the future.

We stayed for a weekend for my sister's 40th celebration.

We were 13 ladies so somewhere with space and bathrooms was very important. This property well and truly exceeded expectations. The space in the property meant you didn't feel like you were on top of each other. The number of bathrooms meant we could all be using them at the same time if needed. The property was so clean and well maintained too. You literally want for nothing. Kitchen was stocked with all utensils needed. Bedrooms have hairdryers. We also hired a couple lf hot tubs. All arranged direct through Nick at the property. Again so professionally done. We did have a slight problem with one of the tubs...but we contacted the hot tub company direct and he came out and sorted it straight away. I would definitely book this property again for another short break!

Strelley Court Farm is certainly the best property we have ever stayed in as an extended family.

The facilities were second to none; everything you need is provided for you;the kitchen space and equipment were fantastic. It was also really nice to meet Nick to welcome us and to show us around the property. Thanks for a great weekend.

Good house for holiday , very spacious for families, fully equipped with everything you need to make your stay perfect, lots of car parking space plus garden fully enclosed.

only letdown was the weather,but can’t do anything about that .owner. And staff very pleasant and helpful, would like to come again

On the journey there I commented to my son that I hoped it would be so nice that I would want to go back again and after unpacking we immediately said let's book now for over the new year period.

Sadly it is already booked but we will definitely look at going back. Everything was perfect. Thank you

A great place for a family Christmas.

Nothing fancy but loads of space and plenty of rooms so we weren't on top of one another. Only real complaint was the limited oven capacity on Christmas Day. We managed, just, but a place this size really needs a proper range cooker.
