Oakerthorpe Holiday Village

We needed a stop place for my daughters wedding and this turned up and it was absolutely perfect. We had the wine cellar for 6 adults and 4 children and it worked well. The animal farm, including emu's, goats, ducks, sheep mearcats and alpacas was fantastic for all, and you can feed them. The park and football area was again brilliant for the kids. Well done

Nothing at all.

Beautiful accommodation, well decorated, perfectly stocked kitchen, very neat and clean. The setting was stunning, I can't recommend this place enough for families with children - there is a gorgeous play area for littles and a fantastic animal farm/orchard that the children have access to with the usual farm animals, emus, and even meerkats! We used this as a base to explore areas like Matlock Bath, Bakewell, and even had a family birthday dinner in Nottingham which was a 35 minute drive. Great location, great staff, and wonderful memories made. We would not hesitate to return!!

The only comment for improvement I would have is that the mattresses in The Old Wine Cellar, save for the master bedroom, definitely need replacing. They were soft and unfortunately, none of the beds other than the master were restful.

Great location for groups and groups with kids. The play area was superb and allowed adults to chill out while everyone played. The bbq areas were a nice touch too and we had a great bbq one evening.

We had 2 apartments. The first one, I think it was called the wine cellar was very traditional however felt like it was underground so quite dark and claustrophobic at times. This couldn't be helped as it was just the design of the old home. Other area, think it was called the dairy, was great.

Absolutely wonderful place, clean, well equipped and comfy. I was very happy and felt so much at home and it was quiet and all the nature around made it even better. Thank you, Oakerthorpe! We had a lovely, relaxing birthday holiday and will definitely come back again! I also loved the little dinosaurs in the Orchard ;)

The only thing that would have made it absolutely perfect would have been more privacy around the hot tub in "The Dairy", with more foliage maybe or so. Also, when we arrived, there was a broken glass in the back of the cupboard, which was probably left behind by the last person who was there and one plastic cup had a leak, but I called to let them know.

The accommodation was beautiful inside and out! Very cosy and everything you could want. The hot tub was lovely! The kids park was a big winner with our daughter, especially the well kitted out playhouse! The onsite farm was the highlight of our visit, our daughter loved feeding the animals and collecting the eggs! The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make it enjoyable for the kids. Would love to come back again!

No complaints from us!

A magical place to stay with the family, beautifully clean and the animals are wonderful! Feeding them with Farmer Vic was just an amazing experience and the hot tub was glorious. Peaceful and relaxing retreat

Loved the location, the accommodation was good, but the bathroom facilities were a bit archaic …. Needs updating in this area, but otherwise very good.

Bathroom and shower.
