What a wonderful find. As our first experience of needing accessible accommodation we could not have wished for better. Beautiful well equipped lodges in lovely surroundings. We stayed in both... read more Hipley and Daisybank with the lovely hot tub perfect for looking at the starry sky. The off road buggy devoured the terrain and made exploring the area a delight. David and Felicity were welcoming and always helpful allowing us to arrive early. As the next guests cancelled due to the corona virus they allowed us to depart late as well. Can't wait to visit again.

  Myself and my sister travelled to Costa Rica and Panama via Viva Holidays Ltd. The holiday was exceptional and one to be treasured forever. Andrew at Viva Holidays... read more listened to my wish list and created a beautiful package. My wish was truly his command.

Whilst in Costa Rica (amongst other areas), we visited Alajuela (one of the coffee regions) and La Paz Waterfall Gardens, also known as Las Cataratas. I was taken aback by the beauty and variety of the wildlife. We were greeted by a huge buffet full of tasty authentic Costa Rican cuisine. Eat well as you will need the energy for a lot of walking and some steep steps to climb at the end!

In Panama one of my most memorable excursions was to the Embera island. If you want to meet one of the seven indigenous tribes of Panama and learn about their history from them, then this is for you. I felt honoured to experience something that I have only ever seen on documentaries over the years. Wear crocs or walking sandals with soles that have good grips on them as you will be walking through muddy terrain and rocks and rivers that could be waist high. Ladies, wear your swimsuit underneath your clothing as you will have the chance to bathe in the river and waterfall before going to the Embera village. More

  Another great holiday at Hoe Grange - such a great place for us all to holiday as a family - this time with a baby, a 3 yr old, a... read more dog and my mother in law in a wheelchair! 5 ️ for accommodating all our needs. The play area was perfect for our little ones as was saying hello to all the animals! Such a picturesque setting which hills all around. Everything is to a high standard, very homely too, with everything you need for a great stay incl highchair etc and additional disability related kit. Thanks. More

  It's been three years since we last visited but once we arrived it certainly didn't feel like it!
We stayed in Hipley again which had had a refurbished wet... read more room which looked very smart! Once again, we had everything we needed on site for my husband who is quadriplegic meaning for a change, we travelled light. A rare occurrence. Hoist, shower chair and a profiling bed all awaiting our arrival. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite as good as three years ago but we dodges the showers. Felicity and David are fabulous hosts and ensure you have everything you need to make sure your stay is relaxed and stress free. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a holiday here. The scenery is beautiful and the sky at night.. well it twinkles More

  Stayed last week, from 6th to 13th September in the log cabin called Hipley. This was amazing, it was our first visit but certainly not our last. Gold standard disability... read more facilities for my husband who has Multiple Sclerosis. Can not fault it. It was superb. David and Felicity arranged all the modifications we asked for before we arrived which was excellent. The cabin is amazingly equipped with everything you could want and as a cook, I loved this.With beautiful countryside views and plenty to do near by we had a great week. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The week was amazing, the accommodation superb and we return happy and refreshed. Thank you so much. More

I had visited before... read more with my husband who had Multiple Sclerosis and was wheelchair bound. He could not weight bear and had to be hoisted. For many years we did not take holidays as we were apprehensive about leaving our extensively adapted home. The facilities and equipment available at Hoe Grange were fantastic and gave Phil the confidence to enjoy holidays again. Sadly Phil passed away in January this year and having reminisced about our lovely Hoe Grange holidays my family were eager to visit. We were a party of 3 adults and two children aged nearly 4 years and 17 months. This time it was a different kind of stay. I had always viewed Hoe Grange from the accessibility point of view but this time it was a whole new experience. My relatives were blown away by the location and interior design of the cabin. Everything is quality and it is fantastically equipped. The children loved the animals and were delighted by the chickens on the decking and the visiting dogs. The welcome pack was delicious, wonderful home made bread, biscuits, milk etc. They all thought Felicity must be superwoman to do all she does. There were lots of toys for the children and a play area with climbing frame and slide. It's... We stayed in Rainster cabin for a long weekend 6 th to 9 th September.

It's a perfect base for Carsington Water, Matlock and CBeebies land. All of which we visited.
A new addition was the shop on site, fabulous locally sourced produce and interesting gifts.
We did not want to come home and will return next year.
One further example of David and Felicity going the extra mile was their search for a precious teddy bear who we had left behind( lucky him he got a few extra days stay).
He was found and posted home in his own little bed labelled " Handle with Bear". Typical Of the lovely couple that David and Felicity are.
I felt I had returned to see old friends and my family loved it.
I saw Hoe Grange from a new perspective as a brilliant place for a family holiday.
We will be back. Thank you. More

  We have just returned from a short stay in one of the pods on site at Hoe Grange Holidays. We couldn’t recommend them enough. The pod has everything you could... read more need. The welcome pack with milk, fresh bread, home cooked biscuits, coffee etc was also a lovely touch. We also paid for a fire starter kit which was ready for us on arrival. We had our cocker spaniel with us too and he soon made friends with the local animals. The views and being away from any busy, noisy roads made for a very relaxing stay. The owners were away during our stay but they made sure that someone was on hand if we needed anything. There is also plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. We also visited both ilam Park and Bakewell during our stay. More

  Felicity and David made us feel very welcome right from our booking. The pods are well equipped and spotlessly clean. The area is very peaceful with great views and we... read more really liked the direct access on to the high peak trail. We also had lovely neighbors - goats and chickens!

We were welcomed with fresh eggs, homemade bread and cookies which were delicious. We also booked the hot tub experience for the evening which I would recommend - the hot tub is filled with fresh water and the area decorated with candles. It was a clear night and so we had a great view of the stars above.

We both left feeling relaxed and stopped off in Brassington for a pub lunch on the way home! More
