Dale Farm

Dale Farm is a collection of self-catering properties in open Derbyshire countryside, near Ashbourne and Carsington Water.

It offers a practical and relaxed setting for corporate offsites, team retreats and company away days, with enough space and flexibility to accommodate a range of group sizes and working styles.

The main property, the Main House, sleeps up to 14 guests across seven bedrooms and includes a cinema room, private hot tub and generous shared living space, well suited to leadership teams or smaller company groups who want everything in one place.

For larger teams, the Barn Collection brings together four cottages around a communal barn that works well as an informal meeting and dining space, with individual cottages giving team members their own space to unwind at the end of the day.

The rural setting encourages teams to step away from the usual office environment, with countryside walks, open space and a slower pace that supports both focused working sessions and genuine downtime.

Ashbourne is a short drive away for any essentials, and the wider Peak District provides easy options for outdoor team activities if needed.

Dale Farm is well suited to leadership offsites, team planning days, company retreats and any group that wants a comfortable, private base away from the city.
