All Roads Lead to The Barrel Inn…

Some say it’s because it’s the highest pub in Derbyshire, others say it’s the views that stretch for miles… we think it might be the perfect pint and hearty food after a day in the Peak District.

Whether you arrive on two feet, two wheels, or four wheels, somehow all paths seem to end up at The Barrel Inn, and we’re not complaining!

A few dates coming up at The Barn this summer…

Tucked quietly away in the Top Riley meadow, The Barn is made for those who need space, stillness and a proper switch off.

Wake slowly to birdsong, wander straight out into the fields, spend your day exploring the Peak District, then return to your own peaceful hideaway as the evening settles.

No rush. No noise. Just green views, quiet moments and time to breathe.

A grown-up escape in the heart of the Peak District.

Fantastic Walking Routes

“We had a perfect stay at Emma’s cottage. It was clean, cosy, and surprisingly spacious, with super comfy beds and great facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen. There were fantastic walking routes straight from the cottage, as well as easy access to well-known Peak District spots. Emma was incredibly accommodating throughout, highly recommend”

“Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” – Albert Einstein

Curiosity is what leads us down new paths, into little villages we’ve never seen before, and across hills we’ve only admired from afar.

The Peak District rewards those small wanderings, a hidden view, a quiet pub, a story from the past waiting to be discovered.

Here at Top Riley, we think curiosity is the start of every great escape.
