About this property

The Peak District is the perfect place for your weekend getaway, reunion, hen celebration, yoga retreat, or corporate event. The Lighthouse Barn is a stunning property in an unspoilt and very private location, with its own long drive and huge secure tarmac car parking area for up to 20 cars, with dawn to dusk lighting. It has the flexibility of sleeping 16-20 guests in eight ensuite bedrooms when combined with Coach House (approx. 30 metres away). The beautiful multi-functional celebration or events venue has enviable panoramic views over the surrounding rolling fields with pretty stone walling typical of the Peak District.  Boasting high-quality fixtures and furnishings, and ample space for all your fun plans. Guests rave about the area, how welcoming the property feels, and how easy the owners made it to plan their special occasion with a large group of family and friends. 

Lighthouse Barn is a wonderfully fitting name for this gorgeous holiday home, purpose built for self-catering for large groups in a prime location just a mile and half from the closest village of Parwich. Huge windows frame panoramic views over a sea of green rolling fields and drystone walling so typical of the Peak District, beautifully complimented by soft natural shades and textures that evoke the tranquillity of a seaside retreat. It's heavenly in every season, whether you are staying for a holiday with family, celebrating a milestone occasion with friends, hosting guests for a hen celebration, or planning a yoga retreat or artists’ workshop. The barn itself sleeps 16 guests in six superb ensuite bedrooms with the option to sleep an additional four guests in two further bedrooms both ensuite in the nearby Coach House (approx. 30 metres away).

Parwich is a charming village in the heart of the Peak District National Park. It’s wonderfully quiet, with pretty houses clustered around the village green and duck pond. The area is in the White Peak and popular with walkers and cyclists who appreciate the proximity of the traffic-free Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail. Limestone Way is another favourite route, as is the Royston Grange Archaeology Trail which takes in Roman and medieval sites of interest. Parwich has a small village shop attached to the very popular and friendly Sycamore Arms pub. There are further supermarkets, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and antique shops 8 miles away in the market town of Ashbourne. A great alternative is the busy tourist town of Bakewell made famous by its ‘Bakewell Pudding’ and farmers market which is a very scenic 12 mile drive from Lighthouse Barn.

Popular attractions near Lighthouse Barn include, Bolsover Castle, Haddon Hall, the Crich Tramway Museum, Calke Abbey and the famous Chatsworth House. Explore Dovedale and the picturesque stepping stones, Burbage Moore, the Derwent Valley, and Monsal Head. Go underground at Blue John Cavern and Poole’s Cavern or stay at home relaxing and soaking up the peace and privacy of the Lighthouse Barn and its huge south facing lawn and terraces.
