Viewers of ITV Fletcher’s Family Farm dream of staycation at the cottage – now bookings are open

Followers of Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher’s ITV programme Fletcher’s Family Farm may already be aware of the holiday cottage he’s renovated alongside his wife. What might be less well known, however, is that the property is available to rent for your own little getaway.

Those interested in securing a booking will need to act swiftly, though. August and September 2026 are already fully reserved, and at the time of writing, only six separate nights remain available across May, June and July.

In practical terms, anyone hoping to immerse themselves in the Fletcher farm experience may be better served looking towards 2027. Prices vary depending on the season and the length of your stay, for enstance, we found a two-night break in May 2027 priced at £1,532.

At first glance, it may seem steep, but with space for up to six guests, it can be surprisingly manageable when the cost is shared. Split six ways, it works out at £255 per person for two nights – that’s £127.50 per person, per night, the Express reports.

During an episode of Fletcher’s Family Farm, Kelvin’s wife and co-owner of the cottage, Liz Fletcher, said: “Since we put the cottage up for rent as a holiday let, it has just gone crazy. We put it online for about two days, and the year literally sold out….It’s just gone above and beyond our expectations.”

Kelvin has sweetly described the cottage as his wife’s “baby”, adding that if he ever can’t find her, he knows she’ll be “spending her time on her new obsession”.

Although previous guests have called the cottage “cosy,” it’s anything but cramped. There are three king-size bedrooms, one with its own en-suite, along with several inviting communal spaces. These include a sitting room and a snug, both complete with woodburning stoves, plus a conservatory for soaking up the views.

Encircled by Peak District countryside and private farmland, the cottage also has its own enclosed garden, ideal for families with young children who like to roam. Outside, you’ll find a lawn, patio, decking area and even a hot tub. One guest summed up their stay by saying: “Beautiful surroundings, fresh air, and plenty of space for the kids to explore.”

Inside, the generously sized farmhouse-style kitchen is framed by wooden beams and centred around a large island and an AGA range cooker. There’s also an oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine: everything you’d expect to make it feel like a home from home. Meals can be enjoyed in the cosy dining room, where windows look out onto the surrounding countryside.

As one previous guest wrote: “Loved walking into the kitchen and the warmth from the AGA gave it such a cosy feel. Such character too from the furnishings and old beams everywhere,”

Though Stag Cottage feels wonderfully tucked away, you won’t be short of things to do nearby. The village of Sutton has a general store for last-minute essentials and a historic pub, Sutton Hall, perfect for a leisurely lunch. Sykes also notes there are plenty of walking routes in the area, along with cycling-friendly trails.

For a day out, head east into the Peak District National Park, home to Bamford Mill, Peveril Castle and Speedwell Cavern. If you’re looking for something a bit diferent, you could also opt for Farmer’s Rest in Sutton, Cambridgeshire.

Currently, this little homestead has garnered a 4.9 star customer rating on Sykes Cottages and can house up to six guests with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Otherwise, you can opt to stay at The Stone Barn at Hock Ridge Farm in Devon.

This cosy get away spot has four stars on Holiday Cottages and can house up to two people with one bedroom and one bathroom. Another advantage of this place is that it also allows up to one pet, perfect if you want to take your dog away with you on holiday.#

One guest who stayed earlier this year said: “The cottage had everything we needed, and we received fast and helpful advice and support from Liz. I’d recommend Stag Cottage as an idyllic, quiet and cosy home for anyone’s restful holiday. Nearby, we found nice villages, pubs and amazing walks.”

There is, however, one potential drawback to bear in mind if you’re hoping to bring a four-legged friend. Dogs aren’t allowed at Stag Cottage. The property also does not host hen parties, stag dos or “similar parties”.
