The Cabin at The Old Granary
The Cabin at The Old Granary, a luxury and romantic cabin in the Peak District
Romantic Glamping Cabin with Panoramic Views in the Peak District
Luxury dog-friendly cabin for two in a wildflower meadow with sweeping views across four counties, complete with a sunken outdoor bath, fire pit and cosy interiors.
Set in a wildflower meadow in the Peak District, this cabin is made for slowing down and savouring time together. Wake to sweeping views over the Amber Valley, spend lazy afternoons soaking in the sunken bath, and round off your evenings toasting marshmallows by the firepit under star-filled skies.
It’s an intimate hideaway designed with couples in mind – perfect for romantic weekends, anniversaries, mini-moons, or simply escaping the everyday. And if you’re planning something bigger, the next door retreat The Old Granary, is a beautifully renovated holiday cottage that sleeps six, giving you the option to combine both spaces for family get-togethers or celebrations. Rest assured that this is a totally separate retreat should you be wishing to cosy up for a romantic weekend away.
Inside the Cabin
Step inside and you’ll find a cosy space designed for comfort and connection. Everything you need is here, but nothing to distract you from the views just outside the window.
- King-size bed with soft, high-quality bedding for a restful night’s sleep
- En-suite shower room with fluffy towels and luxury toiletries
- Handcrafted kitchen that’s well-equipped for simple suppers or morning coffee
- Dining table for two, the perfect spot to share a meal or plan the next day’s adventure
- Seating area with large windows so you can enjoy those valley views even when you’re indoors
It’s simple, thoughtful and homely – the kind of place that invites you to switch off and relax together.
Outside the Cabin
Step out onto your private deck and you’re met with sweeping views across the Amber Valley and beyond – rolling hills, wildflower meadows and skies that seem to stretch forever. This is a space made for slowing down and soaking it all in.
- Sunken outdoor bath — sink into warm bubbles with the open sky above, day or night
- Fire pit — perfect for toasting marshmallows, cooking over flames, or simply sharing a glass of wine by the glow
- Dining area for two — linger over breakfast or enjoy a romantic alfresco dinner
- Hammock — stretch out, switch off and let the countryside set the pace
It’s private, peaceful, and full of little touches that make being outdoors as inviting as staying in.
Dog-Friendly Stays
This little hideaway isn’t just for humans – one well-behaved dog is welcome to join you too. The cabin opens straight onto meadows and countryside, so there are plenty of places to sniff, roam and explore. The Amber Valley and Peak District beyond are full of scenic walks and dog-friendly pubs, meaning your four-legged friend gets just as much of a holiday as you do.
Location

From the terrace, you can soak up sweeping views over the Amber Valley and across four counties – Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire – a view that shifts with the seasons and never fails to impress.
