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

  We stayed in the Skylark pod last October (2018) and had a lovely time. There was homemade, rustic goods (bread, biscuits etc) when we arrived. Felicity and David who run... read more the business were very hospitable and even let us borrow their bikes to go exploring! Equally, we felt that they were near enough for help but trusted guests on their beautiful farm. A stunning part of the country and lots of places to explore. The facilities were great and we loved waking up to the horses, ducks and chickens greeting us. So sweet! More

  Recently spent a week in "Pinder" and had a lovely time. The location is stunning - the site is nestled in a beautiful valley on the edge of the Peaks... read more (it's next to the High Peak trail). The cabin was clean and really well equipped (including lots of toys & games for children). On site there was a little 'farm shop' where you can pick up essentials and a secure lock-up for bikes (which we'll take next time). Our 2 (almost 3) year old loved it - the play area, seeing the tractor at work (it's an active farm) and feeding the animals (chickens, dogs, goats, horses, cows, sheep are all there). Felicity and David are very welcoming hosts - they made us feel very welcome and were great with our son. A very big thumbs up! 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

  For the second year running, we have had a great family holiday at Hoe Grange. We had one cabin for the week, for two sisters and our elderly wheelchair-using... read more mother and two other cabins for the weekend for the rest of the family. Altogether, ages ranged from 10 to 89. Having the right facilities (accessible bathroom, dining chair with arms etc) makes all the difference to taking our mother away but it still feels like a proper holiday, not a care home. Comfortable beds, good facilities, lovely views - all good. I'd definitely recommend (and have to others already).

  We stayed for a night in one of the cabins . The cabin was spotless and very well equipped , lots of extra touches were added like fresh eggs and... read more bread . The views around the cabin were breathtaking and it was so peaceful . Felicity was very welcoming and allowed to to have a late check out as no body was due to come into the cabin the day after us which was very appreciated . We would highly recommend a stay here !

  Lovely place to holiday near to interesting locations and easy access to the High Peak trail and Carsington Water. Part of a working farm with fresh produce to enjoy during... read more your stay. Very relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

  We had a lovely time staying in one of the incredibly well equipped pods. I bought my pony along and we had some great rides on the high peak trail.... read more Everything has been well thought out in the pods and everything is of the highest standard. Wonderfully central for enjoying the surrounding attractions. So peaceful. Will be returning f9r another stay soon.

  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

  We love this place. Very wheelchair friendly, really well equipped and comfortable, with easy access by car to lots of places of interest particularly Crich Tramway Village, Chatsworth, Bakewell and... read more Carsington Water. Whatever the time of year it is a great place to stay.
