The Cow Shed @ Atlow Mill is a hidden gem, recently converted from an old cow shed. Behind the agricultural façade is a luxury interior with high ceilings, lots of light and a modern rustic feel.  It offers 4 spacious, ensuite bedrooms sleeping 8 people, all available either with a super-king bed or two single beds, a large open plan living space with log burner and smart TV, indoor games room and a private garden with a gas BBQ, 7 person hot tub and wood fired pizza oven.  It is surrounded by rolling hills, a pretty brook and secluded woodland, and The Red Lion pub is just half an hour’s walk away.

Main Living Area - with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and lots of industrial character. At one end of the large open plan space the lounge area comfortably seats 8 people and has a log burner and smart TV, with complimentary Netflix, for cosy evenings in. The dining area also easily seats 8 people and the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for cooking up a feast including two ovens and an induction hob, full height fridge-freezer and wine cooler for supplies, plus a breakfast bar for casual dining.

Games Room
– just off the living area and complete with everything you need for some old-school family fun: table tennis (medium sized table), table football, board games and children's books. There’s also a king-sized sofa bed (set up by prior arrangement only) plus a large smart TV with complimentary Netflix, a DVD player with a selection of children's films, and comfy bean bags for movie nights.

**If you are looking for a meeting space with a difference for your next business event then please get in touch. Our games room can also be configured as a light, airy conference room ideal for groups of 4 - 16 people. Please visit the Corporate section to find out more.**

Utility area
– with washing machine, tumble dryer and additional full height fridge, plus separate downstairs toilet.

Four spacious bedrooms
– all of which can be configured with either 1 x super-king sized bed or 2 x single beds (single beds by prior request) and each with their own en-suite with walk-in shower.

Outside space - 
The Cow Shed has its own large, private patio and garden area, complete with outside dining for 8 people, a gas BBQ and a wood fired pizza oven for perfect evenings outside. (Pizza oven and BBQ available April – October).  There is also a 7 person private hot tub for relaxing in.  It has a pergola to protect you from the Great British weather and we provide towels and plastic glasses.  All you need to bring is your swimwear and flip flops.

Beyond the private garden, guests are welcome to explore the shared play area, the woodland and stream and make use of the public footpath that passes the property.

Other details to note:

  • There is a dedicated parking area for up to 4 cars in the yard immediately outside the Cow Shed.
  • We have two Pod Point charging points on site for electric or hybrid vehicles. There is a nominal charge, payable at the end of your stay, for using them.
  • The hot tub is thoroughly cleaned between each stay, this means it may not be available immediately on arrival, or on the morning you leave, if we have same-day turnarounds either side of your trip.
  • There is good (free) WiFi throughout the property, but no mobile signal in the area.
  • A generous basket of logs is included in your booking for use in the log burner and pizza oven, further logs can be purchased if required during your stay. Gas for the BBQ is also included.
  • Henmore Brook runs along one side of the property. It is easily accessible from many parts of the site and is unsupervised. It is mostly shallow, and great for paddling, but there are two areas of deeper water (c.4ft deep).
  • Sorry, we don’t allow pets or smoking, including e-cigarettes.
  • The Cow Shed is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, but please be aware we are not a party venue.
  • There are two holiday homes on site, Atlow Mill and The Cow Shed. We also live on site so we’re on hand if you need us during your stay.

Tipper-Senior Family Adventure

Our third visit

The third annual Tipper-Senior adventure to The Cow Shed!  Another fantastic weekend of games, good food and relaxation.  We completed our third Ashbourne park run with two new participants and enjoyed a bike ride on the Tissington Trail. It was so much fun.  I loved swinging from the hay bales.  The beds were so COMFY.  I can't wait til we come again next year! Esme, aged 9. I really liked the hay bales and the garden (with the stream).  The games room was really fun especially when we couldn't go outside.  The location was really good and the hot tub was brilliant.  Thank You! Rory, 9 years old.

Everything was perfect

We booked with James last year (Fern Cottage).  We had such a good time we had to book again, this time The Cow Shed.  As last time, everything was perfect.  Such a wonderful place.  Attention to detail is fantastic.  Home from home.  We couldn't have asked for more.  Thanks.

Thank you for an amazing stay

The Cow Shed is beautiful, well equipped and very cosy.  It provided the perfect venue for our 60th birthday celebrations.  Looking at the stars from the hot tub was very special.  James & Chloe were amazing hosts, nothing was too much trouble.  Definitely be back!

A wonderful time had by all!

A wonderful time had by all.  An aesthetically pleasing place to be.  Our family enjoyed the comfort and well thought out space.  Hot tub was amazing even on a chilly night.  The calming sounds of the stream near by and plenty for the teenagers to do.  The games room was a bonus even for us competitive adults.  The Northern Lights were an added bonus!  Thank you James & Chloe

Our annual pilgrimage

Our annual pilgrimage to the Cow Shed.  Our happy place for much relaxation, laughter, festivities, chat and good food!  Thank you James & Chloe for your wonderful hospitality.  Snow, rain and wind, it's been a blustery weekend with walks through the snow and hot tubbing in the rain!  We loved every minute!

What an awesome find!

We booked the Cow Shed as a base for our family while we did the Alton Towers 10k race, but it has been so much more than a base!  The hot tub has been just perfect for relaxing tired bones, the whole place is just epic.  Super soft beds and an amazing charm all of it's own.  Will look to come back for next year's event.

Wow, wow, wow!

Wow, wow, wow, what an amazing home we have had for our 50th celebration get away.  The Cow Shed is absolutely beautiful, with such stunning surroundings.  We have loved our days out visiting the Heights of Abraham and Dovedale, then returning to relax in our peaceful retreat.  Thank you James & Chloe for being wonderful hosts, we will absolutely be returning.

A poem for The Cow Shed

At the cow shed, a peaceful retreat, where rustic charm and luxury meet. With warmth in the air and comforts so grand, a true escape, crafted and planned. Soft beds like clouds, we sank right in, the gentlest sheets against our skin. Windows wide open to fields and skies, each dawn a wonder, each sunset a prize. A welcome so warm, we felt right at home, in the hidden gem, free to roam. With touches so thoughtful in every room, soft lighting, deep couches to melt into bloom. Thank you, dear hosts, for this beautiful stay, for honouring our Mum, Grandma, and Great-Grandma's special day. With memories made and laughter we keep, we leave with full hearts, and nights full of sleep. Thank you James & Chloe

We loved the hay bales

Thank you for a wonderful stay here at the Cow Shed.  We loved the hay bales and the rope swing.  While we were here we went to the stream and put our wellies into the stream and played pooh sticks.  Hope to be back soon!  We also thought the Cow Shed is a beautiful place to stay here.  Big thank you!  Darcie, aged 8
