    Loved the whole weekend. The Poachers is an amazing place to stay. We had a group of 20 and everybody had the best time. It was smooth & stress free booking in, and the host arranged a keg of cider. WE WILL BE BACK ! Thank you Poachers !

    What can I say, amazing place to get together with friends and family. The Poacher's Arms is fully equipped with everything you need. The location is also perfect, with stunning views and walks on the doorstep. Lisa the host was incredible and made sure everything was in place to make our weekend perfect.

    We were welcomed and shown around the property by the owner who couldn't have been more helpful. The property itself was actually better the advertised. The Poachers Arms is huge with everything you could possibly want for you and your guests and also has lots of outdoor space for the wee ones to run around in a safe environment. The bar area provided an ideal focal point for our group whilst the kitchen catered for all our needs . The village of Hope is 2 minutes walk away and the village of Castleton is really handy also ( The pie shop is a must). The Poachers Arms is a great location for a family get-together and we are going to book again without a doubt.10/10

    This property is brilliant - the owners have thought of everything! We had a party of 25 stay to start with and as the week went on numbers dwindled as due to school/work constraints not everyone could stay the whole week. We had a range of ages from 2 to 70 and there really was something for everyone, from the outdoor play area and indoor nook with toys for little ones, to the fully functional bar (the bar!) for the adults (and the older kids enjoyed this too - pretending to be bar staff was a great game!). You can order casks/kegs to be connected up so you have a real bar experience. This place was fab, and in a lovely area too.

    "What a fantastic week! A perfect base for exploring the peaks - but also so much on the doorstep: tennis / swimming / outdoor shops! We’ve had a very busy week - walking / canoeing / Alton Towers / Chatsworth House etc. etc."
