About the site

At Peak Glamping Hideaway, staff pride themselves on offering unique and comfortable accommodation so guests can enjoy and explore a wonderful part of the world. Peak by name and by nature, this site has a strong claim to being the UK's highest-altitude glampsite. Situated in Quarnford just outside Buxton, this secluded hamlet adjoins the UK's highest officially recognised village, Flash. The village is 551 metres above sea level and encompasses the Three Shire Heads of Axe Edge Moor, where Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire converge. The moor is also the source for the myriad rivers that criss-cross this landscape (namely the River Dove, River Manifold, River Dane, River Wye and River Goyt), scything open the ancient stone into spectacular green valleys. Offering a pair of yurts along with a romantic shepherd's hut for two and a furnished bell tent, accommodation is in a spacious open meadow enclosed by drystone walls. Spin 360 degrees and the views in any direction are unrivalled, with big skies and lush rolling hills all around. High up in the Peaks, there's a real roof-of-the-world feel, making this a retreat in the truest sense. Each yurt sleeps two and features a king-sized bed. The shepherd's hut (sleeps two) also features a king-sized bed. These options come with Egyptian cotton linen, sheepskin rugs, solar-powered fairy lights, and wood-burning stove. Towels are also supplied. The shepherd's hut includes a kitchenette with Belfast sink and granite worktop. Guests relaxing in the bell tent will be treated to a comfy kingsize bed, dreamy decorations and outside seating so that you can take in the stars.

Yurts are open April- October, while the shepherd's hut is open all year round.
