A warm welcome from the Slack Family

Welcome to Dannah Farm.

Our family has proudly called Dannah Farm home since 1985, when Joan and her late husband, Martin, began welcoming their first guests alongside life on the family farm. What started as a small venture has grown into one of Derbyshire’s most highly regarded luxury Bed & Breakfasts, thanks to genuine hospitality, exceptional breakfasts and thoughtful attention to every detail.

Today, Joan and her team continue that tradition, welcoming guests with the same warmth and personal service that have been at the heart of Dannah Farm for more than 40 years. While much has changed over the years, our commitment to making every guest feel relaxed, comfortable and truly welcome remains exactly the same.

We’re incredibly proud that Dannah Farm has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious AA 5 Star Gold Award and AA Breakfast Award, recognising our dedication to providing an exceptional guest experience.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to unwind in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, we look forward to welcoming you and helping you create lasting memories at Dannah Farm.

Warmest wishes,

Joan & The Dannah Farm Team
