Slow down. Breathe. Belong.
A converted barn apartment in the heart of Belper, Derbyshire — where families reconnect, couples exhale, and everyone leaves a little bit lighter.
SCROLL
The Barn Apartment
Three bedrooms. Stone walls. Pure Derbyshire.
Nestled within a gated gravel courtyard of Grade II listed stone buildings is a beautifully converted barn built in 1853. The apartment comfortably sleeps up to seven guests in warmth and comfort.
Exposed original pine beams soar above the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area where a fully equipped country style kitchen with quality Denby dinnerware centres around a traditional electric AGA — everything you need to settle in and slow down. Step outside and you're already on the farm.

What our guests say
“
We arrived frazzled and left feeling like ourselves again. The kids didn't want to leave the animals — and honestly, neither did we. The barn is absolutely beautiful.
Sarah & Tom
“
The most restorative weekend we've had in years. Waking up to birdsong, feeding the lambs, walking the fields — it's everything we didn't know we needed.
James & Ellie
“
Our children still talk about the lambs every single day. The animal therapy session was genuinely moving. A truly special place.
