Your stay
FOOD DELIVERIES
Many of our guests find it convenient to arrange a grocery delivery. We have started working with a local company which directly supports local Peak District businesses.
Luke will happily deliver your order and it will be in the barn waiting for you when you arrive.
Most of the large supermarkets now deliver in this area too although we don’t allow the drivers into the Barns unaccompanied.
EATING IN
We are delighted to be working with a local company called Carver Cottage. Claire will deliver delicious dishes for you to warm up at your leisure.
