Leek holiday barn rental with jacuzzi/hot tub, internet access, balcony/terrace and walking

At Ford Old Hall Barn we strive to exceed your expectations, you will receive great hospitality from us, we don't use a manager so we personally make sure the standards are just right for you.

We do all the cleaning and turnarounds ourselves to make sure our very high standards are maintained, it really does matter to us that you experience the very best at Ford Old Hall Barn.

We will try to accommodate any special requests you may have, we are on hand if you need us but you can be totally private too if that's your preference.

Relax as soon as you walk through the door as your meal with wine will be waiting and the table set so no need for you to start cooking or looking for somewhere to eat when you arrive, what more could you ask for!

There's a breakfast basket prepared with croissants, pain au chocolat, pain au raisin, cereals, a home baked loaf, yogurt, granola, juice, butter, milk, eggs, preserves, coffee, tea, sugar - enough for your stay, so if you don't want to, you don't even have to think about shopping for other food until you have settled in.

You won't need to bring anything with you apart from your luggage and your own choice of personal toiletries.

The barn is fully equipped, a true 'home from home', soft white fluffy towels, white luxurious cotton bedding, summer & winter duvets, 'heavenly' mattress toppers for that extra comfy night's sleep and your personal choice of pillows.

Additional large bath towels and white waffle robes are there for you to use with the hot tub or just to feel completely relaxed in and around the barn.

Dishwasher detergents, soap powder and conditioner plus many kitchen basics are also provided.

A basket of logs is ready for you to create a cosy atmosphere with the Scandinavian log burner.

Explore the beautiful Peak National Park on foot, there are walks right from the door. We have access to 4 excellent, flat, converted railway tracks which are great for either walking or cycling.

If you see 10 cars a day in Ford it will be considered 'busy'! You are more likely to encounter the odd tractor or two.
