Farmstay vacation rentals in Greater Manchester

We received a very warm welcome from Fiona when we arrived, the ‘check-in’ was smooth, clear and friendly and we immediately felt at home. The house is exceptional quality, located in a beautiful spot, drivable to local villages and also well located for easy motorway access. All rooms in the house are really well appointed with plenty of space for our family, including kids. We appreciated the little touches Fiona added, such as home baked goods, jams, eggs and chocolate. The house was perfect for our long weekend in the area, and we fully recommend this house to others - we would certainly like to return again.

Another perfect stay with Beverley and David. The cottage was scrupulously clean and extremely comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay with great open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Set in tranquil surroundings it was always a pleasure to return to after a day out. Beverley and David are wonderful hosts and great communicators. We hope to return again.

We stayed at the cottage for 2 nights for a 40th birthday get away with family and 3 small dogs. From start to finish, Nina was an outstanding host. We arrived at the cottage without issue, helped by the clear instructions provided! The cottage sits in the most gorgeous surroundings with spectacular views and dog-proof garden! The cottage itself is simply beautiful with so much thought has gone into every element. Absolutely everything you could possibly need during your stay is there, ready to go and well placed to find. Nina is as so kind and helpful, responding to questions so quickly and with seemingly endless patience. The local walks in both the country and villages are fantastic- with some excellent pub/ restaurant options around, including many which are dog friendly! Our only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer! We found ourselves checking our diaries towards the end of the stay to organise our next visit! Thank you again, Nina!

Excellent accommodation, beautiful location, clean and tidy. Would visit again.

Beverly’s place is the most beautiful place I’ve stayed in the whole of England. What makes it so beautiful is that it’s just about 15 minutes drive into the heart of Manchester. The morning views of the horses is always good view to wake up to. The farm itself is spacious, beautiful and pristine. This isn’t the first time I’m staying in the farm and definitely wouldn’t be my last. I encourage anyone coming into Manchester that wants something lovely and away from the noise of town and also the impersonal atmosphere of regular hotel spaces to enjoy this farmhouse

We had a very enjoyable stay. The house is a lovely traditional farmhouse, with lots of space and comfy beds and sofas. We also enjoyed the outdoor space, with lots of room for the kids to play (great rope swing!) and for the dog to run around. We’d definitely book again when we’re next in the area.

Lovely cottage, comfortable and homely from the minute you walk through the door. Kitchen well stocked and shower was good especially the heated floor. Nice tv/ seating area for after a days hiking. Our dog loved the garden and exploring the surrounding hills. A couple of walks straight from the door. We visited Lady Bower and the B29 crash site both nice walks, but get there early as parking soon fills up. We are already looking for dates to rebook, as lots in the area to do and see.

lovely stay, gorgeous views, hot tub was unreal, everyone was so polite and friendly, bed was incredibly comfy and cosy, can’t wait to come back and meet the goats properly !! 💕

In one word curlew lodge was a mini “heaven”. Perfect spot for relaxing with family. It had a beautiful atmosphere inside and out. Especially the view from the window that’s amazing. The lodge was well equipped with all amenities, well organised kitchen, spotless environment. I would like to highlight the way julia gave clear instructions to reach the lodge was amazing, it was really helpful. Honestly I miss that place , me and my partner felt so comfortable in there. I recommend it to all of you guys.

We loved the cottage very comfortable amazing views in a beautiful setting. The hot tub overlooking the lake was idyllic. Sarah was a fabulous host nothing was too much trouble. Children friendly games etc well equipped the grandchildren loved the cats visiting, feeding the goats treats and playing in the garden. Plenty of wonderful walks we loved the canal walks stumbled across great cafes pubs and local shops...the local pub the junction had a great menu and food was delicious. We would definitely come back again thanks again Sarah

Easy going hosts Made the whole estate available Happy to help with any requests Clean comfortable accommodation with everything listed and also required.

Booth Farm was a beautiful farm house surrounded by wonderful scenery. It is part of a small cluster of houses and farm buildings a short drive from the small town of Hayfield. The farm house is beautifully presented with a bathroom for each of the double bedrooms. The kitchen diner was a great space for chatting, preparing food and eating. The beds were a little firm for my old bones, and we all had a little trouble setting the temperature in the showers but I would say we all enjoyed our stay greatly and I would recommend both the farm house and Duncan.

Liza was a fantastic host who was on hand for any questions we had throughout the booking. The home was as described and a great spot just outside Marsden. The track to the property requires careful driving as parts were off-road. This was however explained to us beforehand by Liza prior to staying.

We stayed here whilst two of us did a half iron man in Bolton! We were so glad we didn’t stay in the town , staying here felt like a holiday either side of the race! Loved it!

We had an amazing stay at Peacock hut in Diggle with absolutely stunning views. The hut was everything we could have wished for. It’s very well equipped, has a super comfy bed & a nice hot shower. Lovely walks nearby & would definitely recommend a trip to Diggle Lock cafe. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place if you’re after a nice relaxed break. We’ll be back again & hopefully this time it won’t be raining & we can make use of the bbq & fire pit.

My friend and I had 3 lovely days at Chew Cottage. It’s in a beautiful area, with local pubs and fabulous walking. The house is quirky and as described. Lovely little garden and house was very cosy. Jeanne was pro-active in responding to a problem with the Tv signal, arranging for the aerial to be repaired the next morning. As an Airbnb host myself, I appreciated the facilities and good communication. Lots of free on street parking nearby I .e. Just across the road.

It was the first time away together for our two families and we were unsure how the littles ones would cope but the house and gardens were perfect both in terms of size and what was provided. Poppy was really helpful and very generous. Both families would definitely visit again. Its a beautiful house in a beautiful location.

In no way do I mean to be redundant, but this is the BEST Airbnb we’ve stayed at and Cliff has got to be one of the most down to earth, easy going chaps I’ve ever met. Friendly and great sense of humor. He’s blessed and has a grateful heart. Definitely recommend staying here!

Lovely home, with great facilities. It’s in a lovely location with some nice walks and pubs nearby. Would really recommend for a bigger group!

Clean and tidy. We were 2 families with kids and was plenty enough space for all. Extra toiled at ground floor is definitely handy. There even was Xbox and PlayStation for evening FIFA sessions:). Modern design and equipment including some smart house features. Location wise was perfect for everything we had planned in Peak District. Overall great place and highly recommended. Thank You!

We loved staying here. The surroundings were incredible. Peaceful, calm and cozy. A real gem!

We had a fabulous 3 nights at Amanda and Steve’s lovely home. As soon as we booked we received a really informative message outlining entry arrangements, WiFi, local attractions etc which was great. The house is really lovely and spacious, a real home from home with added extra such as the generous welcome pack and logs, kindling and firefighters for the log burner. The towels and bedding were all really good hotel quality and the beds really comfy. We walked around the reservoir and kinder scout whilst we were there and the house is really well placed for this, in fact we never used our car until we went home which was great! We ate in the Packjorse twice and the lovely Italian which was a bonus. We want to thank Amanda and Steve for letting us stay and would love to come back in the future, if possible.

We had a great stay at Matthew's coach house. Everything was clean and nice put together when we arrived. Matthew is great in communication and gave us local recommendations like the pub. We even met Emily, his daughter, as she was working in the pub down the road. We felt very welcome and the house is just beautiful, surrounded by nature. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

I booked on Friday afternoon and arrived on Saturday, so was all very last minute, Liz kept in touch and met us there to show us around. Place is very dog friendly. Liz also checked in with us during our stay to see if all was ok. We went for lovely walks and spent time in the spa to relax in the evening, just what we all needed, will be recommending to my friends and family 10/10 many thanks 😊
