Welcome to Toft Estate

Four historic houses. One private estate.

Toft Estate is a private estate of four historic houses on the Staffordshire and Cheshire edge of the Peak District, near Leek and Macclesfield. Book one house or the whole estate, depending on the size of your group: Toft Hall sleeps 20, Chels Barn and Toft Barn sleep 24, and the whole estate sleeps up to 48.

At its heart is a 400-year-old Grade II listed manor house, with two converted barns and a cosy cottage around a private courtyard. Add two hot tubs, a games room, gardens and big countryside views, and you have one of the most characterful group houses in the Peak District for hen parties, stag dos, micro weddings, birthdays and family get-togethers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked Toft Hall for a pre-Christmas family weekend. Very well equipped kitchen - everything we needed to cook a full on roast dinner for 16 people. Very impressive service from Marcus, who sorted things out very quickly when the kitchen sink blocked and when the smoke alarm went off.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great venue for a massive family Xmas. There were 18 of us & Toft Hall provided everything we needed & more. It was clean, well equipped & comfortable without being too ornate or precious which was essential with 7 young active children & 2 dogs. Would definitely recommend it to large groups looking for a special venue to get together. We would certainly book again.
