Unwind, Recharge, and Revitalise in the Heart of the Countryside
Welcome to Smallshaw Cottages and Spa, a luxurious rural retreat nestled in the picturesque countryside of South Yorkshire, near the Peak District border. Our 17th-century barn conversions offer five-star gold award-winning self-catering accommodation, perfect for a relaxing break amidst breathtaking scenery.
Our Story
Our journey began in 2003 when we moved from Bath to Jim's family farm, with a vision to transform derelict cowsheds into luxurious self-catering accommodations. We're proud to have realized our idea, breathing new life into these stunning barns while maintaining their 17th-century charm. Our four properties - Bramble Cottage, Rowan Cottage, Birch Cottage, and The Farmhouse - cater to diverse needs, ranging from intimate getaways to family gatherings.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
In our quest to reduce our carbon footprint, we installed a biomass boiler in 2013, providing piping hot water, high-pressure showers, and underfloor heating while being environmentally friendly. We invite you to take a tour of our eco-friendly initiatives and learn more about our commitment to sustainability.
The Spa
Inspired by our travels in South East Asia, we designed our very own Spa to complement our luxury cottages. Our Spa is a tranquil haven, offering an array of facilities, including steam rooms, saunas, foot spas, aromatherapy rooms, and an outdoor wood-fired hot tub. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating experience with our Temple Spa treatments, carefully crafted to soothe the mind, body, and soul.
