What is Purple Tuesday?

  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

  Second visit to the accessible holiday cabins at Hoe Grange. David and Felicity were as helpful and friendly as ever. We had a welcome pack of freshly baked bread, butter,... read more milk and home baked cookies. In terms of kit, we had a profile bed, a wet room, commode, shower chair, a perching stool, bed rail, riser recliner chair, raised toilet seat, adjustable sink, etc. In addition, we booked the wonderful Boma off-road wheelchair for an afternoon - it was a delight to see my sister bombing (no pun intended) off under her own steam along the High Peak Trail while we jogged along trying to keep up with her! Fantastic accessible holiday accommodation, excellent hosts. More

  We spent four nights at Hoe Grange and had a lovely time. The location is fantastic and right next to the High Peak Trail. The cabin was very clean and... read more really well equipped. Thoughtful extras like the homemade bread, coffee, tea, eggs and biscuits plus cleaning products and lovely toiletries really added to the experience.

Though the weather was a little damp on occasion we were very happy to sit and watch the horses, cows, chickens and pygmy goats do their thing.

Though we had no need to use it there is farm shop where you can pick up essentials on a trust basis (you pay at the end of your stay for anything you use)

There is also a secure lock-up for bikes or you can borrow one. We used the hot tub one night and hot it was! Lovely after a 15 mile walk.

Felicity and David were very welcoming hosts and we couldn’t recommend the whole experience enough. 5 stars without a doubt.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time, so much so that there was a tear in my partners eye as we drove away. We will most definitely be back. More

  On arriving at Hoe Grange in a downpour, we doubted if we’d made the right decision to go glamping, but after the warm welcome from David and a quick tour,... read more we settled in to our pod with our dog, Monty. It was so comfortable and well equipped with a bathroom bigger that some hotels we’d stayed in. Thoughtful extras like the homemade bread (still warm) and biscuits plus lovely toiletries really added to the glamping experience. The weather was a little damp but we were quite happy to sit and watch the horses, cows and sheep, or the pigmy goats next to the pod. The farm shop had a lovely selection of local products too. All in all a really wonderful few days in very comfortable surroundings and with good walks on the doorstep. More

  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.

  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

  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 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

  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.

  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
