Welcome to
Common Barn Farm

 Self Catering Holiday Cottages and B & B in the Peak District

Our traditional working sheep farm is situated at 1200 ft above sea level, on the quiet, unspoiled western side of the Peak District National Park in Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire. We enjoy excellent open countryside with far-reaching views over the Cheshire Plain to the Welsh mountains.

On the farm we have five Bed and Breakfast rooms, plus two self catering holiday cottages in tastefully converted stone barns - Croft Cottage which sleeps six, and Meadow Cottage which sleeps four. The holiday cottages can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 people. Camping and caravanning available by arrangement. We have facilities for small conferences (up to 25 people) and broadband wireless internet access on site.

Our holiday cottages and Bed & Breakfast rooms are ideally located for exploring the magnificent scenery of the Peak District and Cheshire, as well as for visiting the stately homes in the area, such as Chatsworth House. For ideas whilst staying in our Peak District Cottages, please see our Things To Do page.

The village of Rainow has excellent pubs that serve homemade food (lifts can be arranged). The historic towns of Macclesfield and Buxton are just minutes away.

We run a tea shop on the farm, open daily. Our Peak District Environmental Quality Mark 'Lamaload Lamb' is sold from the farm and through local deliveries.

Come and stay with us for an unforgettable break in our Cheshire Peak District Cottages.
