The Roaches Bunkhouse is closed until spring 2021
July 3rd 2020
It is not feasible for us to open with such small numbers and with constantly being forced to cancel bookings and then reopen again. So we have decided to stay closed until things settle down a little.
The Roaches are famous for the breathtaking views for miles around, and plenty of open space for long ambles. The peak district lends itself to active outdoor people with no end of hills to climb and vistas to take in. Whether its the stunning sights of lady bower, or the fairytale woodland of Padley gorge there’s more than enough to keep you occupied. While times have been strange recently the staff of the Roaches have been working hard to maintain a safe environment for guests. We look forward to welcoming you in spring 2021
