The Folly

Luxury in the Heart of the Peak District

Relax, Refresh, Renew…

A Warm Welcome…

Relax, unwind and enjoy a luxury break away in very comfortable accommodation, furnished to a high standard.

We are situated in the country village of Wormhill, Derbyshire, deep in the heart of the Peak District National Park. There are a number of working farms in the village, so plenty of animals and farmland surrounding us.

The Folly is a sympathetically converted barn, attached to the main farmhouse, which has been furnished to a high standard. It is the perfect base from which to explore the stunning Peak District, with walks and rides from the doorstep.

Sorry – no children, infants or pets accepted in the Folly.

The Folly is strictly No Smoking.
