Welcome

Harrop Fold Farm, home of the Stevenson Family, has been sympathetically restored in the spirit of the original 17^th Century buildings and now offers Bed & Breakfast and Self-Catering Cottage accommodation.

Each room has been individually designed to make your stay welcoming and luxurious, whether you are here for business or leisure.  Antique beds, old oak beams, original paintings on the walls, and in Mellow Brook Cottage a roaring log fire, will all help you unwind.  In the Homestead homemade goodies on your welcome tray, and at bedtime fluffy robes and soft slippers, down duvets and pillows ensure a good night’s sleep ready for a superb Aga cooked breakfast of your choice.  We pride ourselves in our delicious choices of foods, which are served using the finest local ingredients, our own free-range eggs and homemade preserves.

Welcome to Harrop Fold Farm!

Harrop Fold is set within its own 20 acres of land and visitors are welcome to walk along the many footpaths that cross the property.  A footpath from the door reaches the Gritstone Trail.  There are two lovely brooks - Mellow Brook and Harrop Brook, which are visited by a great variety of wildlife, and there is a huge diversity of bird life to be seen around the farm.

Harrop Fold Farm is a smallholding nestling in a wooded gritstone valley on the western side of the Peak District National Park and has magnificent views over the Cheshire Plain to the Welsh Mountains.  It has a courtyard of attractive traditional stone buildings that are of architectural and archaeological interest and there is evidence of a Roman road passing through.  Archives also suggest a tannery at Harrop Fold Farm was used by Bonnie Prince Charlie as he made his way to Derby to attempt to seize the English crown.

Professional artist Michael Moore, member of the Fine Art Trade Guild, offers residential and day art courses.   Michael's original paintings are hung throughout the rooms.

The traditional Highwayman Inn is ¼ mile away by road or a delightful 10-minute stroll through the fields.   There is an abundance of other country Inns and Restaurants locally.
