Peak Venues

Planning a group getaway to one of the most scenic parts of England? Peak Venues specializes in exceptional self-catering holiday homes and luxury cottages across Derbyshire and the Peak District National Park. From the wilderness of the Dark Peak to the rolling hills of the White Peak, our properties provide the perfect base for family reunions, milestone celebrations, and corporate retreats. We handle the details of exclusive-use accommodation so you can focus on making memories with friends, family, or colleagues.

Established in 2006 by a group of lifelong friends, the team has grown into a leading independent agency with a hand-selected portfolio. Each property is chosen by our local experts to offer something distinctive, whether it is a spacious converted barn with a games room, a country house with a wood-burning stove, or a modern apartment near Bakewell. Our passion for the Peak District shows in every property we represent, and our friendly team is ready to help you find the ideal space for groups from 2 to 50 guests.

Group Accommodation & Property Portfolio

Our collection is designed for exclusive-use group stays, meaning you get complete privacy and control over the space. Large groups often struggle to find comfortable accommodation that brings everyone together under one roof while still offering personal space. Peak Venues addresses that with properties featuring multiple bedrooms, generous dining areas, and spacious living zones. Whether you need a big house for a birthday weekend or a cluster of cottages for a corporate offsite, our range includes converted farmhouses, rural barns, and even former pubs where you can pull your own pints.

Properties are conveniently categorized by the number of guests they can sleep, ranging from cozy venues for 2 to 6 up to expansive estates hosting more than 40 people. You can also filter by features that matter most to your group, including dog-friendly homes with enclosed gardens, properties with games rooms for family entertainment, and cycle-friendly stays with secure bike storage. For year-round comfort, many venues offer wood-burning stoves, outdoor hot tubs, and electric vehicle charging stations, combining rustic charm with modern convenience.

Guest Experiences & In-House Catering

What truly sets a Peak Venues stay apart is the ability to customize your break with curated experiences. Our in-house experiences team takes the hassle out of organizing group meals and entertainment. Choose from a private chef experience where a professional prepares a bespoke menu in your holiday home, convenient self-serve dining delivered directly to your door, or lively food trucks and mobile catering that turn an evening into an event. These options are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply enjoying a stress-free holiday.

Beyond food, the team can arrange outdoor adventures to help you explore the 555 miles of walking routes and cycling trails the Peak District offers. You can abseil down Millers Dale Bridge, explore caves around Castleton, enjoy water sports at Carsington Water, or tackle mountain biking routes. Prefer to stay indoors? We can organize murder mysteries, gin tastings, chocolate-making masterclasses, or relaxing yoga sessions, bringing the activity directly to your accommodation. For corporate groups, these services support team-building and productive retreats.

Our bespoke support services add another layer of convenience. We offer a tailored transport service, arranging everything from taxis for a few friends to minibuses for larger groups, including airport and train station pickups for corporate teams. Following a catered meal or celebration, our clean-up service ensures the property is left spotless without you lifting a finger. For those requiring even more coordination, our dedicated event management service handles every detail with precision, transforming your vision into a seamless reality.
