Summary - Holiday Barn, Peak District Holiday Barn, Wardlow SK17 8RW
10 bed 8 bath Barn Conversion
Licensed wedding venue with cottages and extensive south-facing gardens.
Turnkey holiday and events business sleeping up to 22 guests
An established, turnkey holiday-and-events estate in the Peak District National Park, this substantial stone barn conversion and adjoining cottage combine strong income potential with authentic rural character. The main converted barn sleeps up to 22 guests across eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, while Mires Cottage provides two bedrooms and two bathrooms — useful as guest accommodation or on-site management space. A licensed steel-framed wedding barn with flexible event space for up to 100 guests, plus a games room/bar and workshop, complete a business-ready package.
Practical advantages include recent energy upgrades (32 solar panels with battery storage), mains gas heating, plentiful off-street parking and extensive south-facing lawns with far-reaching countryside views. The workshop with mezzanine offers valuable storage and logistics capacity, and the site’s long driveway and mature planting create privacy and attractive outdoor entertaining areas. The property lies close to Tideswell, Bakewell and Buxton, benefiting from strong tourist demand and excellent access to walking trails and local attractions.
Notable considerations are the property’s EPC rating of E and the construction’s original stone walls which are assumed to have no added insulation — further insulation works could improve energy performance and running costs. The estate is large and will require ongoing maintenance and management, especially given the mix of holiday accommodation and commercial event use. As an established business, seasonal variability in bookings should be expected despite the turnkey nature of the operation.
Overall, this is a rare, sizeable leisure investment in one of England’s most desirable national parks: suitable for an operator seeking immediate trading income with clear scope to enhance energy efficiency and expand marketing or event programming to increase returns.
