Gaia’s Hideaway

Upper Hurst Farm is your natural gateway to the Peak District, showcasing the area’s spectacular beauty from its secluded, gently elevated position.  

With four major market towns close by, and plenty of rural delights to explore in every direction, is it any wonder that guests tend to return again and again?

Friendly hosts Sue, Yvonne and Paul aren’t just instantly welcoming, they’ve also put their effort and energy into creating a glamping experience that reflects all the beauty of its surroundings. They’ve been awarded with an Environmental Quality Mark for their trouble, so you can rest assured that your stay will be gloriously natureful.

Filled with comfort and vibrant colour that’s reminiscent of Arabian Nights, you’ll find Gaia’s Hideaway in a secluded, tree-surrounded corner filled with natural wildlife, and boasting far-reaching views of the Peak District hills.

An authentic Mongolian yurt that sleeps up to four guests, you can expect spacious, lavish interiors and creature comforts that include gorgeously fluffy robes, a beautiful hand-made canopy, and a central log burner surrounded by a luxurious Persian rug.  

There’s a mini-kitchen and dining area, plus a huge circular bed dressed in Egyptian linen and a downy duvet – perfect for lazy lie-ins! There’s also a sofa-bed for extra guests, or if you’ve decided to bring the kids along.

Outside you’ll find a private compost loo, with an underfloor-heated shower block a mere wander away. But the real jewel in the crown here is the large al fresco decking area, equipped with a gas barbecue and a magnificent, red cedar wood-fired hot tub.
