Manifold Farm

Manifold Farm can be found in a perfect tranquil setting on the western edge of Chatsworth's historic Shottle estate. It overlooks the beautiful Ecclesbourne valley, south of the pretty market town of Wirksworth in Derbyshire. Formerly a dairy farm, the farmstead with its attractive stone built farmhouse and courtyard range of farm buildings, has been converted to provide five spacious and very comfortable holiday cottages. Each cottage has its own garden with garden furniture, car parking, shared grounds and use of the games room/play area. The farmstead stands in a wonderfully rural position with distant views on all sides and yet is only a short travelling distance from the motorways to the south and the Peak District to the north.

Manifold Farm has everything that you and your family or a group of friends would need to enjoy a relaxing or indeed active holiday. A network of footpaths on the doorstep offer a variety of walks within this stunning rolling countryside; beautiful Carsington Water only four miles away provides opportunities for watersports, cycling, fishing, bird watching and picnicking on the water's edge and of course for children there is Alton Towers less than half an hour's drive from the farm. On arrival all visitors are provided with a welcome tea tray and delicious Victoria Sponge cake, freshly baked on a nearby farm.

All of our cottages at Manifold Farm are provided with well equipped, fitted kitchens and include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine/dryer and microwave oven. Living rooms have a woodburning stove, flat screen television, DVD/VCR player and stereo system. All cottages have a downstairs lavatory, travel cot, high chair and information pack. Each cottage has its own private garden. Water comes from a private spring which rises on the hill above the farm.
