Top Riley Holiday Cottages

A small collection of three traditional stone cottages, a peaceful barn and two woodland cabins, set quietly in the Peak District countryside, just a short distance from the historic village of Eyam.

Top Riley is designed for grown-ups who are looking for space, comfort and a slower pace. A place to settle in, breathe deeply, enjoy the quiet, and feel properly away from the busyness of everyday life.

Each property has its own character, but they all share the same feeling: warmth, privacy, countryside views and the chance to properly switch off. From your door, you can head straight out for a walk through our Top Riley Meadow or explore nearby places such as Eyam, Chatsworth House, Bakewell, Haddon Hall and the edges beyond.

Then, when the day is done, you can return to your own peaceful space, watch the evening settle across the fields, listen to the birdsong, and simply enjoy being here.

 

The Barn 

The Barn is a quiet, tucked-away space for two, somewhere to step out of the day-to-day and settle into a slower pace.

You leave your car behind and walk across the fields for a few minutes, and by the time you arrive, something has already shifted. It feels removed, peaceful, and entirely your own.

Inside, everything is open, warm and easy to be in. A space to cook, eat, read, and relax without needing anything more.

Hollow Brook Cottage

With two en-suite bedrooms and an open, light-filled living space, it suits couples who appreciate having room to spread out, or those travelling together who still want their own space.

Perfect Cottage
"We had a great four-night stay in Pretty Wood Cottage. Emma was incredibly helpful and responsive with any queries we had. There were walking guides and things to do guides which were amazing. It’s a lovely, quiet and comfortable place to stay, with walks straight from the door. We didn’t use the car once during our stay and enjoyed exploring the surrounding countryside on foot, be prepared for plenty of hills!" Charity
