News & Offers from Roaches Bunkhouse
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

The Roaches Bunkhouse is set to reopen on July 4th and we can’t wait to welcome you to The Roaches!
June 26th 2020

Stags welcome at the Roaches Bunkhouse
March 5th 2020
While a stag do in the peaks may sound odd it makes a lot more sense knowing the huge range of adventure activities nearby.
At Roaches Bunkhouse you’re never more than hour away from some of the thrilling activities that the area has to offer. Many well suited to a stag weekend. Right off the bat Alton Towers theme park is 25 mins away by car. Crazy golf and a waterpark are also available here. Madrenaline activities is only 15 minutes away and has tailor made stag and hen do options. Activities range from axe throwing to a segway safari and obstacle course. The peaks also offer many opportunities to get outdoors and do some physical activity that doesn’t include getting pelted by paintballs (which don’t worry is still an option). Climbing and caving courses are widely available as are brewery tours. All in all not bad for the stag.
