Enjoy a tail-wagging stay at this large country house, perfect for a very special get-together of all the family or a large group of friends. Its enclosed garden makes canine capers in the fresh air easy, and there’s a games room, a media room and al fresco dining furniture to keep humans of all ages happy.

This very special getaway has plenty of space for everyone to get together or spread out. In the farmhouse-style kitchen you can gather round the breakfast table, perhaps lighting the wood burner, and helping the chef prepare delicious meals using the range cooker. For celebratory meals there’s a separate, formal dining room, with room for 16 people. A choice of two lounges offers the chance to relax, sitting back and enjoying an open fire or a show on the Smart TV. Or why not make use of the games room, with pool and darts? Also on the ground floor is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. A second en-suite king-size room is located on the lower-ground floor, connected to the media room – the perfect spot for a movie marathon. The remaining five bedrooms are all on the first floor, including a king-size with a four-poster bed and en-suite shower room. For four-pawed frolics, the wraparound garden includes grassy areas as well as a patio and picnic tables. There’s parking for five cars.

Located in the small village of Peak Forest, in the heart of the moorland plateau of the High Peak, the house is surrounded by walks of all kinds which your furry friends will adore. In Buxton (6 miles) you can all explore the ‘Wonder of the Peaks’ on the famous Buxton Tram, stopping off for a walk in Buxton Country Park and Grin Low Woods.

The house was lovely and the location perfect. Absolutely brilliant for a big party with lots of space for everyone. Sofas are very comfortable and there is everything you need. A great location for exploring the Peak District. The pub at the end of the drive is very welcoming and there is a very handy little shop there too.

The Gables was a lovely location for our family get together ages from 3 to 71! Lovely, bright, spacious and comfortable rooms with quality fittings a quiet location. A playpark in the field across the front lane entertained the children and the garden was an ideal short walk for our family dog who was recovering from a recent leg op. The DevonshiRead morere Arms pub at the end of the lane was able to accommodate us all for a delicious Sunday lunch at short notice. All in all we had a great time. Hide

Five family groups totalling 15 people stayed here without feeling in any way squashed because of the large kitchen and two lounges and separate dining room . Lovely location

Overall a good place for a large group to enjoy but sadly many points need attention and house needs a thorough deep clean.

Cottage was beautiful with lovely features and very well equipped. I do have to comment about the cleaning though. My son was in the room with four poster bed and behind the curtains on the floor was a pair of mens pyjamas which had been missed during the clean. The toilet off the hall had lots of cobwebs and dust around the fan and no toilet rolRead morel. On a positive the house was very well equipped but we couldnt get the tvs to work in some rooms - maybe we just didnt find the instructions. The bins down the drive were still full so we couldnt completely empty the red rubber bucket when we left. Wouldnt put us off going again - lovely for a family gathering Hide

Excellent house for large parties and family gatherings. Plenty of room for all the party to sit around either of the dining tables with ample crockery and cutlery and to relax in either of the lounges. The younger people loved the 'Movie room' with the massive TV.

Overall we had a good stay, enough space to accommodate all families, the basement was a great additional albeit very noisy from feet above In the mornings. For a large house an additional fridge would be advantageous, and more storage for groceries. And I would improve the cleaning team ahead of any quests. Great location
