The Kniveton Cottages are a brilliant option for hen and stag groups looking for a sociable countryside weekend without everyone being crammed into one big house. Sleeping up to 19 guests across four neighbouring properties, the accommodation gives you multiple kitchens and living areas, while a central communal barn provides a dedicated space for the whole group to get together for meals, drinks and activities. There’s also an optional private hot tub, games barn, football pitch, fire pits and plenty of outdoor space, all surrounded by peaceful Derbyshire countryside.
It’s particularly well suited to hens and stags who want a relaxed base for a weekend of activities, meals and a few drinks rather than a traditional party house. You’re close to Ashbourne, Carsington Water and the southern Peak District, with the nearest pub around a mile away and plenty of options for days out nearby. The rural setting means groups are expected to keep things respectful, particularly outdoors, so it’s best for celebrations where you’ll head out for the livelier bits and come back to enjoy the hot tub, games and a chilled evening together.
