The barns are a perfect destination for large parties as Cruck'd Barn and Bats Belfry have very spacious open plan areas that can be used for meetings and everyone can dine and socialise in. This is ideal accommodation for groups to meet comfortably and get together for business meetings or corporate events/parties. It is possible for 30+ people to dine together.
We can run a number of different activities at this location, either inside the buildings, in the grounds onsite or for events that require more space, in the surrounding area or at a nearby centre. You can choose something active such as orienteering or quad biking and team building events like Operation Spy School. Popular evening events hosted in Cruck'd Barn or Bats Belfry have been "Confidence in Cocktails", Poker Nights, Quiz Nights and "French Boules and Mulled Wine Night". Being independently run we will try and cater for any requirement.
The accommodation has recently been refurbished to an exceptional standard mixing contempary style with original buildings and features. Fabric and furnishings have been carefully coordinated throughout. Located around a central courtyard and numerous patio areas there are 5 acres of gardens and grounds, with some excellent walking in nearby Dovedale and the Manifold Valleys. The properties can be let individually, as a whole or in any combination for different sized groups. There are 6 separate cottages that sleep between 2 and 14 people. All rooms are light, modern and clean.
We held our Corporate Sales 3 Day Team Meeting at Hurdlow Grange on the 19, 20 and 21 June and I cannot recommend highly enough the standard of the accommodation, the beautiful surroundings and even more importantly the unstinted help and guidance that we received from the owners, Paul and Julian. The stimulating environment of the Derbyshire Dales, helped us achieve our objectives of creating a relaxing and yet businesslike atmosphere in which we tackled some significant challenges and opportunities and created the outcomes that the three days were designed to achieve - a venue that we will definitely return to!

Just a line to say how much we all enjoyed our recent visit to Hurdlow Grange. The whole team were thrilled by the buildings, common rooms and in particular the bedrooms. Hurdlow Grange really is an exciting place to stay and worked perfectly for our team building day. The country setting is lovely and although the 5 mile walk was quite challenging for some of us, we all enjoyed the magnificent scenery and felt a sense of achievement at the end. The activities went down extremely well, especially your demonstration of the arts of cocktail making — perhaps a bit too "interactive" for some of us but very enjoyable! In summary, I would say that this was the most successful of all our annual team building days so far, I would recommend Hurdlow Grange to anyone and we will certainly be there again in years to come. Again, many thanks.

As a training company it was quite a daunting task to source training facilities with self catering accommodation for 38 people. I couldn’t believe my luck when I found Hurdlow Grange in the middle of the Peak District. The accommodation was of hotel quality (rather than the more traditional bunk-barns normally associated with the hillwalking area). We booked the whole complex and the facilities were superb - the location is ideal for outdoor training and we were able to use The Grange dining room as a private meeting room. Set in a remote location far away from any office distractions, this newly refurbished venue comes highly recommended for any Company training event.

Me and the team have had a great stay at Hurdlow Grange. Paul was very helpful booked a fantastic Thai meal for us and transportation into Buxton. The facilities were clean, comfortable and perfectly suited for our training and team bonding. We will be back next year - we had a fantastic time.
