Back Dane Trust - Peak District cottage for hire by charities/good causes at very low rates

Logo

The Beasley Back Dane Trust is a charity run by volunteers.  It owns a farmhouse (Back Dane) in the Peak District at the western end of The Roaches, approximately half way between Leek and Macclesfield.

In recent years the building has undergone a huge renovation programme that enables us to take the building into the 21st century by providing bunk accommodation for up to 23 people in 5 comfortable bedrooms. The cottage also contains a sitting room, dining room, fully fitted kitchen, a large, bright activity room, a boot room and laundry downstairs as well as 2 shower rooms and 4 w/cs.  It is set in beautiful open land that leads down to the River Dane.

There is also a woodland nature trail, fairy village, wildflower meadow, riverside area and a sensory garden.

The cottage is available for charities and good causes to hire either on a day basis or overnight.

Roughly once a month we have what is known as an improvement weekend where volunteers go to Back Dane to maintain the cottage and land. Anybody is welcome to come along to these weekends.
