Dannah Farm Country House

Luxury B&B in the Derbyshire Dales, Peak District

Dannah Farm is a luxury Bed and Breakfast at the foot of the southern Peak District. With Hot Tubs, Private Spa, Split Level Suites and exquisite finishing touches

We were recently awarded the prestigious AA ‘5 Star Gold Award’ for guest accommodation once again. Dannah Farm is so much more than a B&B.

Nestled between the three historic market towns of Wirksworth (known for its quirky arts scene), Belper (known for its rich industrial heritage) and Ashbourne (known for its Royal Shrovetide football and proximity to Dovedale), Dannah is the perfect base from which to explore the Derbyshire dales, Peak District and beyond.

Still very much a working farm, Dannah Farm B&B has spared no expense in converting the traditional Georgian farmhouse and adjoining stone buildings into luxurious boutique accommodation. We are regarded and renowned as the leading Peak District B&Bs and have won numerous awards for our high-class luxury accommodation and attention to detail.

Breakfast is of course included with a range of local produce. The choice is everything whether you fancy a perfect poached egg on toast or a full English with award-winning black pudding. We also offer a full vegetarian feast. All are cooked to order along with fruits, cereals, yoghurts and juices. Sample a Dannah breakfast and see why we have been awarded The AA Breakfast Award!

Relish a romantic weekend in one of our stunning suites. Super king-size beds, double jacuzzi baths, power showers, fresh coffee makers, and more are all available within our rooms and suites. Explore and discover the lovely surrounding area of the Derbyshire Dales, enjoy a reunion with family and friends, or relax with your loved one. At Dannah Farm Country House you can enjoy a well-earned break from our hectic world.

So, if you’re searching for a short break, a romantic getaway, a luxury B&B, or relaxing country cottage accommodation, then look no further.
