Birds and The Bees Summer House

Lovely Spot. Everything we needed. Loved the personal touch’s of croissant and cinnamon slices x

Nothing absolutely lovely.

The summer house is on a farm with lots of lovely animals. This one in particular neighbours a peacock! It’s very relaxing, and the owners/hosts are super down to earth and lovely. They leave you to it, but also they’re around to show you around, feed the animals etc. They provide everything you need for a kettle and toaster including jams, marmalade, tea, coffee milk and bread for breakfast. You also get a pack of pastries which are high quality. It’s super safe, peaceful and in a great location if you’re wanting to visit near places like Matlock / Heights of Abraham in just a short drive.

Beautiful summer house and shower room that had everything we needed. Sheer luck that this option was the more private of the 3. Definitely one for animal lovers (the main reason we chose it) as there was a menagerie of chickens, ducks, emus, Mr & Mrs peacock, a pony, cats, alpacas, donkeys & goats. Chilled, lovely welcoming people.

Honestly nothing! I would recommend perhaps bringing a sleep mask with you as the summer house is fairly bright when the sun comes up. Or maybe cheap disposable ones could be provided?

We stayed for 2 nights at Birds & the Bees and had such a wholesome stay. The little Summer house incredibly has everything you could need despite its small size, and still somehow feels spacious. we travelled with our 2 year old (slept in the bed with us, no room for a cotbed) and Sarie was so kind to go out of her way add more to the breakfast and provide a water table and trike for him. Your neighbours are peacocks and emus, you’re woken up gently by literal roosters crowing. And not to forget the donkeys, horse and free roaming geese ☺️ we all loved them and got the chance to hold a baby emu too. Local coop 2 min drive away from any snacks and a lovely pub The Travellers Rest in hilltop village Stanley (2 min drive from property) for a nice meal. Thank you for opening up this private little corner of your home for to us all to experience this dreamy stay! Highly recommend to anyone and will absolutely be back! Xx

Had an amazing time! The hut was beautiful lovely and even though the weather was a bit rubbish we had a very romantic evening. Sarie set us up a beautiful fire pit and we got to enjoy the stars, the animals were amazing lovely to look out the window and see Emu's. Thank you for having us

It was a cute warm and comfortable stay. Going around the farm meeting all the animals was such a treat. I'm normally really finicky with bathrooms but genuinely was one of the cleanest I've ever been in. Area is nice and Sarie and Andrew are both lovely people. We will be back!

Weekend away for me and my partner and facilities where perfect and the staff very accommodating. I would definitely recommend. Local farm was also a very juce added touch.

Everything was perfect
