It’s taken me longer this year, to get all the sheep prepared and organised into their tupping groups … but they’re off!
Here’s Yolo, schmoozing his ladies.
Can’t wait for lambs in March.

Who’s coming to stay at lambing time?
Message me for spring availability in the cottages!

After a super busy summer with all our lovely guests who have stayed cottages … i needed a couple weeks downtime, just for me and to catch up with some other jobs that had been left by the wayside!

This evening’s beautiful full moon 🌕 rising over my field of contented sheep, seems like a good time to mark the culmination of this quiet time of reflection.

And now… it’s back to it 🤩
A couple of weekends remaining for autumn and winter breaks 🍂
And then it’s all about looking 👀 ahead and booking for 2025!

Wonderful riverside walks from the farm gate. 5 miles from Ashbourne, the gateway to Dovedale and the picturesque Peak District beyond; 7 miles from Uttoxeter, and just 4 miles from Alton Towers Resort. We have created an informal, versatile country venue, on our family farm. Three self catering cottages and a communal space for dining, celebrations or meetings, this little gem of a place, is ideal for gatherings of all kinds.

These holiday cottages are only 4 miles from Alton Towers. Midweek deals and offers all year round. A small and exclusive fly fishing club has been re-established at the farm. This is unstocked, sensitively managed wild fishing, with fish returned to the water. This stretch of the river is abundant with wild brown trout, rainbows, and grayling. Salmon are making a welcome comeback. We have been delighted to help them on their journey upstream, through our involvement in a renewable energy project; resulting in a hydro electric turbine and a fish pass on the weir.

Dove farm is our family farm. You will love meeting our farm pets, but remember, we are a working farm too, so there will be the day to day sights and sounds that come with with a mix of agricultural enterprises: The home farm here at Ellastone, is mainly down to grass - for grazing, and for making hay and silage. Arable ground, mainly wheat and barley, is largely located elsewhere. There is a small flock of pedigree ryeland sheep at dove farm, and a small herd of pedigree golden guernsey goats. There is also an agricultural machinery sales and repair business that operates from the premises www.stretton-agri-machinery.co.uk
