Wetton Barns Holiday Cottages - 4-star self-catering cottages in the Peak District, 19 km from Alton Towers
Accommodation & Grounds
Wetton Barns Holiday Cottages offers five self-catering cottages: Redhurst Cottage, Thors Barn, Hallows Cottage, Well Cottage, and Larkstone Barn. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, microwave, toaster, fridge, and kettle, plus a dining area and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. The cottages include a flat-screen TV, bed linen and towels, and guests have access to a garden and private on-site parking.
Pet Policies & Practical Comforts
Pets are allowed at Wetton Barns, and several guest reviews mention the property as a good base for dog owners, with a small garden and convenient parking. The property provides a welcome pack including milk, tea, coffee, and biscuits, and some cottages feature a log burner with logs supplied. Guests also have access to a washing machine, iron, and dishwasher to extend the comfort of longer stays.
Location & Accessibility
Wetton Barns is situated in the village of Wetton, 19 km from Alton Towers theme park and 23 km from Buxton Opera House. The property is 29 km from Chatsworth House and 37 km from Trentham Gardens, placing guests within reach of major Peak District attractions. Manchester Airport is 55 km away, and the village offers a pub (The Royal Oak) approximately 200 yards from the cottages that serves homemade food.
Walking & Local Activities
Thor's Cave is accessible via a 3-mile round walk directly from the cottages, with Dovedale also within walking distance. The area offers direct access to countryside trails and hiking routes, making it a base for walking groups. Guests can park multiple vehicles on-site, and supermarket delivery (e.g., Sainsburys 20 minutes away) is available for supplies.
Family & Group Accommodation
Up to 24 guests can be accommodated across the five connected cottages, allowing extended family gatherings to stay together in separate but nearby units. The kitchens are stocked with cooking utensils, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine, and a large kitchen/diner in Larkstone Barn can seat a group for meals. The Royal Oak pub and local tearooms provide additional dining options within the village.

“What struck me was the serene village setting, providing a truly peaceful base for exploring the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. The cottages themselves are spacious and immaculately kept, with hotel-quality linens and a thoughtfully prepared welcome basket adding to the comfort. It felt like a place designed for unwinding after a day out, with excellent walking routes practically on the doorstep.”
