What people say about Ilex Farm
EXCELLENT Based on 273 reviews Posted on Airbnb Jon23 April 2026Verified comfortable and welcoming, reminded me of the pleasant countryside holidays I had as a child (in a good way!). would stay again.Posted on Airbnb Daniel19 April 2026Verified A beautiful place right on the doorstep of the Peak District. Lovely views, and their stables just across the front lawn. Plenty of parking if you have more than one vehicle. The property has everything you could possibly need. It’s clean, cosy and warm.Posted on Airbnb Samantha17 April 2026Verified Great host. Great location. Just as described.

Thanks for having us and we would use this location again.Posted on Airbnb Guy8 April 2026Verified A lovely stay and a lovely host! Can wholeheartedly recommend a stay here.Posted on Airbnb Neil6 April 2026Verified Fantastic stay with a pleasant host. The farm surroundings are beautiful and easy access to attractions if you have a family.Posted on Airbnb Lozza3 April 2026Verified we had a lovely stay, kids loved the fact the property was next to the stables so could say good morning and good night to the horses. massive field for us to take the dog down the track to every morning to give him a run around before going out. great location we visited bakewell and matlock, the tram museum and a few l other spots and didn't have to drive more than 30mins. only issue was there was no Internet (which isn't mentioned) and phone signal was hit and miss due to the rural location so getting the kids bedtime story apps was a bit tricky. that being said we had a lovely time and would certainly recommend to othersPosted on Airbnb Faith28 March 2026Verified Me and my sister had a pleasant stay :)Posted on Airbnb Chris23 March 2026Verified The place was perfect for what we wanted. Really clean and a big bonus that it allows dogs. We will definitely be back again!Posted on Airbnb Brian20 March 2026Verified Nice spacious comfortable cottage
