Dannah Farm is a luxury Bed and Breakfast at the foot of the southern Peak District. With Hot Tubs, Private Spa, Split Level Suites and exquisite finishing touches

Awarded AA ‘5 Star Gold Award’ for guest accommodation. Dannah Farm is much more than a Bed and Breakfast.

Nestled between the three historic market towns of Wirksworth (known for its quirky arts scene), Belper (known for its rich industrial heritage) and Ashbourne (known for its Royal Shrovetide football and proximity to Dovedale), Dannah is the perfect base from which to explore the Derbyshire dales, Peak District and beyond.

Still very much a working farm, Dannah Farm B&B has spared no expense in converting the traditional Georgian farmhouse and adjoining stone buildings into luxurious boutique accommodation. We are regarded and renowned as a leading Peak District B&B, and have won numerous awards for our high-class luxury accommodation and attention to detail.

Breakfast is included, with a range of local produce. Choice is everything, whether you fancy a perfect poached egg on toast or a full English with award-winning black pudding. We also offer a full vegetarian feast. All are cooked to order along with fruits, cereals, yoghurts and juices. Sample a Dannah breakfast and see why we have been awarded The AA Breakfast Award!

Whether you’re reconnecting with loved ones, exploring the scenic Derbyshire Dales, or simply unwinding in peaceful surroundings, Dannah Farm Country House offers the perfect retreat from the rush of everyday life.

A warm welcome from the Slack Family

Dannah Farm is one of the finest Derbyshire B&Bs. Joan, Martin, and their family moved into Dannah Farm in the winter of 1985. We took our first paying guests the following spring. Part of The Chatsworth Estates at Shottle, Dannah is still a traditional working farm.

Since its conception in 1986, Dannah has gone from strength to strength, winning many awards. It is now recognised as one of the most outstanding B&Bs in Derbyshire. Dannah Farm Country House is a winner of the prestigious 5-Star Gold Award from the AA. This is the highest accolade possible in its category.

Here, you can relax and unwind in the peaceful, tranquil environment of the Derbyshire Dales. A stay at Dannah means being surrounded by beautiful Derbyshire countryside. With award-winning accommodation, food, and attention to detail, a stay at Dannah Farm is an experience to treasure.
