Farbrook Cottages

Hi, I'm Gemma. Simon and I have been living at Farbrook Farm since 2000. Farbrook is a beautiful 18th century farm sitting in a quiet valley in the south west corner of the Peak District National Park on the edge of the village of Flash, the highest village in Britain. Farbrook is a working farm where we breed excellent quality alpacas for the fine fibre industry.

. Overbrook Barn (sleeps 8) 
Built later than the farmhouse, Overbrook Barn dates back to the early nineteenth century. A traditional pink gritstone building it was a livestock shippon with a hayloft, and was in agricultural use until early 2009 when we started converting it. Now we hope you'll find Overbrook Barn is a delightful and cosy place to spend a holiday in our spectacular countryside.

Overbrook has its own long driveway which ends with parking for at least four cars immediately outside your gate.

We have young children ourselves, and yours are very welcome. None of our livestock pose any danger to humans, Overbrook Barn has its own gated garden, the farm is secure, and our access road is very quiet. We also have chickens, ducks, sheep, and often pigs: a paradise for city children! We have an enthusiastic and friendly black lab so we're very pet friendly and your well behaved pets are most welcome.

We're in the centre of a network of footpaths and bridleways that offer some of the best walking and riding you'll find in the country. There's a huge amount to do locally, along with great eating and drinking.

I do hope you'd like to come and share our life on the farm for a little while and that these pages will help show you what we have to offer. If there's anything you'd like to know do get in touch with me.

Shearing Shed (sleeps 6+2) 
This is where we used to shear our alpacas. When we reorganised the farm in 2018 we decided its position and view were too good to lose so we converted it as you see today: looking like a modern farm building with cosy accommodation and lovely views.

The Shearing Shed is at the end of our driveway and has parking for at least four cars immediately outside your gate.

Like Overbrook Barn the style is clean, modern and cosy rather than rustic. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are on the ground floor in a single open-plan space with full floor-to-ceiling views down the valley and over the alpaca feeding area. The glass-balustraded patio overlooks the brook.
