Peak Pods

Four en-suite pods at the confluence of Lathkill Dale and Bradford Dale, where the walking starts at your door and the owner sends a curated list of what to do next.

Peak Pods sits on Broadmeadow Farm at Alport, the small village where Lathkill Dale and Bradford Dale meet. You can step off the pitch and be inside the dale within minutes, which is the reason to choose this site over anywhere else in the area. Bakewell, with its Monday market, is a little over 3 miles; Youlgrave, with its pubs, is a mile's walk away.

The four en-suite pods are kept in meticulous order. Heating is reliable even through hard winters, the shower is good, and the kitchen is properly equipped for something more ambitious than reheating soup. Individual Weber BBQs sit outside each pod; there is also a communal fire pit for the evenings when you want to linger with a drink and watch it get dark over the dales. The owners send guests a detailed list of local recommendations before arrival, which is exactly the kind of host behaviour that makes a small site worth its premium price.

With only four pods, the site is quiet by design. This is a place for couples or small families who want to use the Peak District properly, not one to choose if you are after a social party atmosphere. Open year round, it handles frosty mornings and heavy snow with equal composure, and the owner's care extends to practical advice on road conditions when the weather turns.

Before you book

Four pods only, so availability fills quickly around peak weekends and school holidays.
